Tho splendid majority given an members Of
the nonpartlsan water board Tuesday Ia ample
authority for that body TO proceed with tho
construction Of tho water project with AZ little
delay as possible Rarely has any executive
board been accorded such n vote OF confidence.
SO one now has any right 20 ralso n question
concerning either tho intentions or the ability
OF this important board
This water board was tho hclplcsa victim
ot vicious cobol ana tho object Of an indc-
tcusihlc attack late last summer, HAD one
believed all that was said by their critics the
gcntcmcnt composing tho board were not only
unworthy Of the peoples confidence but were
the objects OF suspicion Of a vast majority.
Then camo the spnvinaw bond election, and,
although the hght was kept up 20 tho very
moment the voting started, the boards critics
going 30 far rs 90 urge tho people TO turn
down the bonds tho proposal carried by
majority Of vast magnitude showing how In
significant tho boards critics really were, and
how firm tho confidence Of the public was in
tho board,
Again. Just as the city campaign was oren-
Ing, those gentlemen. seeking TO serve their
own selfish interests at the expense Of the city,
again launched fight on the board. Thcy
hcraldcd tho charge that tho board was doing
improper things, employing engineers letting
contracts ana seeking 10 compromise tho mon
who would be elected and 40 on ana so on,
In tho interest Of the city and the water
project the board made public announcement
that It would do nothing towards furtherlng
tho water project until after election. Thus
sixty days OF time have been lost, because,
had the board gone ahead with preliminary
work tho final survey and much preliminary
tho way by this time.
Now that tho second overwhelming vote OF
confidence has been given the board no further
attention should bo paid Go the obsructors
what Tulsa wants is speed In constructing the
water project. And with an eye single TO that
