The Review feels and knows, that
without water we cannot expect our
town ever to progress. There is no
business Of any stability coming here
and invest its money in any concern,
knowing the facts as they now stand.
We are in favor of water; we expect
taxes to be a trifle higher, but at the
same time our insurance would be
lowred Our property will at least
be worth the money we have invest
ed; and citizens, there is only one
safe way to get this water. and that
way is for the city council to take
this burden upon its shoulders and
float bonds. These bonds can easily
be sold Think it over and let's get

STATE OIL REFINERIEs
HAVE LOWEST RATES

Helena. Montana refineries have
freight rate advantage over any
shipper outside the state, the railroad
commission declares in a statement
issued Friday morning The statement
was oecasioned by letter to legis-
lators which declared rates discrim-
mated against Montana refiners.
0The only refineries in Montana
which ship any a7preciable amount O..
gasoline by railroad the commission
says, "are located at Great Fails
Lewistown and West Lewistown, and
the rate per gallon from those points
to all points in the state Of Montana
does not exceed on an average of 80
cents per gallon which is consider
ably less than the rate Of 81 cents
from California
Rates from the Montana refineries,
on an average are also much lower
than from the refineries at Creybull
md Casper, Wyo., and in no
where there is a prospect Of a move
ment, is the rate from the Montans
refineries higher than from Wyoming
rafineries.
