Legal Groundwork
Faulty So Town
To Vote Again

Construction of a new water sup
ply system for Columbia Falls will
not be possible until after the citi-
zens vote a third time in the matter
of authorizing bond issues totaling
$4,000.
Experiencing 80 per cent increase
in population, and expecting to
double in population within a year
and a half, Columbia Falls on Octo-
Der 20, 1915, with not one dissenting
vote authorized the town council to
sell $4,000 worth of water revenue
bonds to build a new IL" main from
the Cedar creek springs 81 miles
from the city. This would replace
the old 81 main from these big
springs which have an ample flow
of clear, soft water for city of 5000
people.
No Bids Received
No construction concern bid ON
the project, because the apparent
water revenue did not seem suf-
ficient The town council then APP
pealed to the Montana public service
commission in Helena for permission
to raise the water rates by 25 per
cent. Permission was granted since
the rates were low.
= A second election using the petit
tions signed in the spring as the
authorization, was held July Is, 1916,
and the town council was instructed
to sell $4,000 worth Of water rev.
enue bonds plus $4,000 of general
obligation bonds. The latter to pro-
vide for the expanding distribution
system.
Used Same Petition
The town council called for bids
again, and let the contract to John
and Mike O'Connor, Columbia Falls,
who accepted the $4,000 worth of
bonds, and in turn offered them to
a Denver concern, whose attorneys
found them not valid. The towns
principal mistake was that it used
the 1945 petitions signed by 20 per
cent Oh IilS ClllZCIllJ 10 Cdll pOIu lllS
first and second elections. Also faul-
ty was the poor legal groundwork in
such matters as the ballot phrasing.
Now Columbia Falls citizens will
be asked to sign petition asking for
a special election to authorize the
selling of two bond issues, one for
$4,000 and another for $4,000. The
city's continued growth depends on
an adequate water supply. The pres
emit system did not provide suffi-
cient water during the past summer;
the reason being too small a main
from the Cedar Creek springs.

Dear Editor:
Dear Editor:

A few words with regard to the
calibre of officiating that has been
Witnessed by us in this Lower

first half of league play. We SIN
cerelv believe that the men ap-
pointed officially by the Yakima
Conference are doing a swell 1oo
of il. and while from the specta-
tors standpoint they may miss
some decisions, in nine out OF ten
cases, they are strictly following
the rules set up in the Official In.
structions governing the game OF
basketball.
In the heat of many of the
games, partisan feelings are bound
to assert themselves, and we are
as guilty as the next one, but when
Il comes right down to it, none OF
these officials is deliberately call.
ing fouls against any member OF
either team, nor are they trying
to appease the feelings OF the
coaches or rooters. They call them
the way they see them, and as they
are the ones chosen to do so, 1t
behooves all of us to remember
these facts.
We have been told, and justly
so, by many spectators land we
feel the same way) that it is our
privilege to give vent to decision
that appears to us to be against
our Interpretation of certain
play or condition, but let us please
remember that any of the officials
could give us cards and spades,
and still tie us up in knots with
regard to the correct meaning of
the contents of the rule book.
Mass. bpoing, or yelling against
the decisions handed down by the
officials, by any crowd, regardless
if it be in Kennewick or any other
town, is not going to change their
decision, because it was first made
by them and they will, normally,
adhere to it. Let the respective
coaches do the first hand arguing
with the officials, if they think
they are right meanwhile we all
can yell as long and as hard as we
are able in support of good plays
and clean craftsmanship.
AS mentioned above, we are as
rabid a fan as the next, but we
find that the officials Of this Sec
ton are above the average and we
know that any player on either
