WHITE WAY SYSTEM

No one item IN Amarillos scheme OF public i'm.
proyements has attracted more attention or Gre
ated more favorable comment from the local resi-
dent and the visitor alike than has the system OF
white way lighting. These beautiful lights are at
present installed from Second to Eighth along
Polk street and from Polk 10 Taylor on Sixth
street
Months ago the citizens realizing the worth OF
this white way system TO the city, invested their
money providing for an extension OF the enter
prise from Polk street along Fourth street east
ward to the Santa Fe passenger station, from Sec
ond to Eighth on Taylor street and from Eighth
to Tenth on Poll street, Equipment for these ex
tensions was bought in May and despite many in
quiries and the ever present interest the work ha
not been begun.
In view OF the fact that the people have invest
ed their money in This highly desirable improve
ment, that the materials for its installation are
here, the question very logically and naturally J.,
heard 'Whv not have the extension" Ordinari-
ly it has been understood that when the none,
and materials are on hand, and when the peoplc
in interest desire a thing that i. available IL,
thing itself Is forthcoming.
Why is il tha, the citizens who have invested
their money in the white way extensions are IN
able TO secure The object OF their desire-that &
which they are entitled;

AAlARIlLO,S WATER SUPPLY.

Far-secing citizens ~ this city have long been
acquainted with the fact that Amaros water
supply is limited. When this state OF affairs J.,
considered in connection with a constantly grow
ing population feeling Of dread and deep con.
Germ is the natural consequence. /, may be thar
some have sought 10 ignore the problem. and 9TH
ers have rather deferred close up" feeling that
it will be better 20 refrain from crossing the
bridge until il shall have been reached
To ignore a problem does not solve II. nor still
the demands for a solution. The bridge has been
reached, and il amarillo is to cross it eomprcheu
sively. nteligently, sanely and cons,ructiyey, it
is up TO all the people TO look the facts squarey
IN the face, and act Tor the good OF the community
Amarillo needs more water-she must have more
water il she is Go grow and expand The task oi
supplying adequate water for Amarillo is matter
in which every man, woman and child in this city
is directly interested, and this number is augment
i. eddy thousands OF others who are incidentally
concerned.
Water for domestic use, for the various plants
in the city and Tor the railroads entering Amarillo
is an imperative necessity. The lack OF an ample
supply will work hardship on all those who are
here at present, and must limit the number OF
those who would come here in the future. This
is not small question. and therefore calls for the
best thought of men who are capable OF graphing
with, and mastering real difficulties
Attention is directed to the report OF {. y.
Qegg water expert OF the Santa Fe system, SUBJ
mitted before meeting OF the Engineers Club Of
Amarillo in the City Hall Monday evening and
published in this issue OF The News. As one ex.
pert in his line. Mr.. Cegg has responded in this
report to desire for actual information on the
water situation IN, and relating to Amarillo. lie
has gone mnusely into the matter and in plain and
comprehensive terms placed the facts SO clearly
before the public mind that none may longer be
excused for mot knowing anything about il"
The News is among those who have long been
aware OF the ncar-perilous limitations of the water
supply. We realize the need most fully and hold
ourselves in readiness 10 assist along any depend.
able 5nd desirable lines to meet the growing dc
mands OF The city for more water.
