PERSONALITIES PLAY PART Fate of Water Board Hangs In Bal ance and Body May Be Deposed if New Form Adopted Of ficers to Be Chosen. PENDLETON, Or, Nov. 28. (Spe cial.) On practically the eve of the municipal election, which will be held on Monday, December 1, the fight here is warming up and personalities nave begun to play an important part. The principal issue seems to be com mission form of government. This pro posed charter was drafted a few months ago and among the provisions is one which eliminates the present Water Board. The contention among the factions here has devolved about the matter of retiring this Board and apparently the contention of opponents to this plan has made some enemies for the commission charter. It is held that to retire this Board at this time would be to place the gravity water system, which Is already under contract, in jeopardy and as Pendleton has long needed a better water supply, the supporters of the present Water Board urge that it be continued in office by turning down the commission charter in Mondays election. On the other hand those who are fighting for the commission form of government contend that it will be an easy matter to find capable men to carry out the project and that if tne city Is to have a commission it should be free from any Incumbent of the old system of administration. The Water Board has been criticised In the past for alleged unbusinesslike methods of conducting the department and today Issued a statement in which the charges are denied and an itemized account is given of expenditures on the work to date of the gravity system at Thorn Hollow. The voters will be called ,on also to elect a Mayor, four Councilmen. s Treasurer and two Water Commission ers. If the commission charter carries these men will hold office but a short time.
