CLOSE DEAL
FOR MACHINERY

The city officials have closed ne
gotiations whereby the city will Sc
cure practically all the hydraulic
equipment needed for the new power
plant on the Moyie The Stevens
County Power Co, of Spokane. the
company with which negotiations have
been under way for the purchase of
the equipment, has accepted the offer
made by the city and payment for the
equipment will be made with citv
bonds. The machinery is now being
loaded on the cars at Meyers Falls.
WASH, and is expected to arrive here
in about 10 days.
Ihe machinery purchased consists
OF $50 horsepower Pelton turbine
capable of being directly connected TO
the generator, all the necessary non
stock, butterfly valve and all the on
Grating mechanism for the headgates
one good feature of the penstock is
that 1t contains a ct" whereby an adj
ditional unit of 200 horsepower can
be developed from the same penstock
whenever more power is needed.
Ihe equipment will be unloaded at
Moyie Springs and stored near the sta
ton during the winter, a temporary
cover being built over it. From this
point 1t can be readily moved down
onto the river whenever it is needed
Tentative plans are now under wav
whereby the rock tunnel leading from
ABOVE the proposed dam site to the
power house site may be excavated
this winter Nothing definite has vet
been accomplished in this regard. but
Manager Hughes is working on the
proposition. 1t is hoped to have the
rock tunnel and dam completed and
the headgates installed before high
water time next year, as no work
could be done on either tunnel dam
or headgates during high water
me CITY has been very fortunate in
Lhe purchase Of the equipment now Sc
cured, and everything now indicates
mat the new power plant will he
at much lower figure than
was at first expected.

This year the county commissioners
hoped to be able to reduce the tax levy
and would have been able to do so but
for the general demand of the lax-
payers of the county for an inCveas e
in the school levy and for the nee es-
slty of an increase of the levy cover
ing bond interest and sinking funds.
Then too, it will be remembered that
in the suit of the Northern Pacific
Railway Co. against the county, the
county lost out and this means that
the treasury will be short some $500
of the usual tax money. And again.
the county was forced, by this SUR. 10

and cruise county lands ana this will
mean a considerable expense which
must be met from the current expense
funds. Under the present levy the
county will have to be run in a most
economical manner the next year in
order to make both ends meet and
number of improvements which had
been planned will have to wait.
In the matter of the increasing of
the school levy from 81 mills to :
mills the county commissioners were
governed by requests and recommon-
dations from many taxpayers. of Bon
ners Ferry and different parts Of the
county The Kootenai Valley Com

ing the commissioners to increase this
school levy and delegations from the
Northside school district from Cone

sioners and requested that the levy
be increased, saying that under the /
