' Tho spcclul meeting of tho Joint committee of tho North Bond und Mnrshfleld city councils at tho Mnish lleld city hall tonight, In which It Is expected that practically all tho councilmen and other officials uf both cities will participate, to con sider tho water report of Engineer Ulchnrdson, will probably call for an 'glncer Cummlngs who exported It for tho Inttar that tho present water supply there can bo doubled nnd made ndcqtiato for a fow thousand additional people, tho council want to know about It. Apparently tho Idea on which Bomo of tho councilmen are work ing Is Hint If tho present wator sup ply can bo Increased, tho logical bus iness plan Is to take It over, if It can bo bought at a reasonable figure, and then by reservoirs nnd nitration systems Improve tho quality ot tho water nnd also securo nil that will bo needed. Thcso Improvomonts, they flguro can bo mndo far a nominal amount. If tho Clear Lako or Golden Falls supply can bo ncqulred with tho ne cessary shed now nt a reasonable price, cither of them might bo bought nnd held by tho city for tho tlmo when tho Increnso ln tho de mand for water will necessitate hit ching up with It. Ah long as Mr. Ulchnrdson lias re commended tho securing of tho pro sent system, If It can bo hnd at a reasonable figure, to bo utilized In conjunction with tho enlarged systom of tho future, soino of tho council men feel that they want to know moro definitely nbout what tho pre sent systom renlly Is. Engineer Cummlngs is reputed to hnvo claim ed that tho present wntor supply could bo mndo sufllclent far n city of thirty thousand or so population although Engineer Ulchnrdson ln dis cussing it prior to his Investigation of tho situation hero expressed a, doubt as to tho correctness of this. Thnt Engineer Ulchnrdson did not report more In dotnll on tho present systom Is n surprlso to some of the cnuncllincn who thought that they had impressed on him tho doslro for n detnlled Investigation of It.

WANTS XEW PROBE IXTO ALASKA AFFAIR (By Assoclnted Press.) CHICAGO, 111.. Oct. 25. A governmental commission or a special congressional commis sion to mnko a thorough Inves tigation of Alaskan conditions was urged by John Kern of Salt Lako City, president of tho Amorlcan Mining Congress to day. A "Squaro deal" for the Investor nnd the elimination of fraud from the mining Indus try wns urged by Kern. Don't forget the Turkish PHONE 214-J. Baths "Come, Let Us Reason Together" "WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WATER WORKS OPERA TIOX, WHICH 1 RELIEVE TO HE PROPERLY A MUNICIPAL FUNCTION, ITS VITAL NECESSITY TRANSCENDING ITS COST." THERE you have tho testimony of n man who is tho vice-president of a corporation which is ono of tho largest owners of public utility plants ln tho United States. Arthur S. lluey, vice-president of H. M. Byllcsby & Co., of Chicago, owners of the Coos flay Electric light, power, nnd gas plnnth, is one ot tho strongest and sUuncheBt advocates in tho country of prlvato ownership of public utilities, but he excepts waterworks, the operation of which he said ln nn address delivered be foro tho League of American Municipalities in Atlanta, Georgia, on Oc tober 5, ho believes "to bo properly a municipal function, ITS VITAL NECESSITY TRANSCENDING ITS COST." That's n strong and effective stntcment from a big and brainy man. Wnter being n vital necessity to a community, Mr. lluey, strong ndvocnto ot prlvato ownership though ho Is, snys thnt the wnter system should bo owned by the city. When tho mnn who Is nt tho hend of tho two Inrgest public utilities ln opera tion on Coos Bay, electricity nnd gas, tells tho people they should own tholr own wnter system, It is pretty good advice from a responsible source. An Important duty devolves upon tho committee which meets this evening to consider tho report of Engineer Ulchnrdson ln reference to a water systom for Mnrshfleld and Notch Bend. The situation Is ono thnt demands prompt nnd effective action. The present supply and service nro wholly Inadequate. Tho Times believes that Immediate steps should bu taken for tho city to acquire and opernto its own wntor sys tem in tho lntorcst of tho health, progress and prosperity of the com munity. This pnper believes tho city should deal fairly and moro it should denl liberally and generously with the owners ot tho present system. It believes nlso that the city should exact tho same fairness from thorn. The city of Marshflold should not nnd will not tnortgngo its future for fifty years to permit Flanagan & Bennett to sell tholr wnter works for $150,000. Tho advocates of a privately owned water system say that tho city is not In n position now to assume nuch a responsibility. This is fnlso logic. Tho city will never bo in better position thnn nt present. Aftor a franchise hns beon grnuted tho city will, if it acquires the plant, bo compelled to buy back what it has given away. Thos. Nolan, ono of tho proposed purchasers of tho Water company, told tho editor of The Times thnt ho would not consider for a minute tho purchnso of tho plant for $150,000 unless he wns given tho frnn chlso for which ho asked. Another responsible nnd reputable business mnn of Mnrshfleld, nnd ono who Is nbundnntly nblo to inako good his statement, says ho will pay $200,000 for tho plnnt If tho city council will grant him n 50-ycnri. franchise. This would Indicate at least a $50,000 valuo in n frnnchlso which tho city is naked to give away. Another argument of tho frnnchlso grnbbers is that the city cannot rnlso the money. Of courso not! All tho poor city can do Js to fur nish tho security to the other follow nnd let him rnlso the money nnd then pay him doublo rates. Nice arrangement, thnt for the other fol low. What slinplo pcoplo wo nro, to bo sure. Mr. Nolan or Mr.' Jack son nor any ono of tho capitalists who nro lying nwako nights to holp Marshflold out of Its troublo, cannot borrow this monoy until tho city gives them a frnnchlso then thoy enn go out and borrow plenty of monoy, improvo the plnnt, boost tho rates nnd pocket their profits. It'i a grcnt game but I think the people of Mnrshfleld havo been mndo tho gont long onoiigh. Thoy hnvo given nwny nearly nil their franchises, but this last hold up was frnmed up City ownership of waterworks Is nil over tho United States nro operntlng their own water systems suc cessfully nnd saving money for tho people. CltlcsnllnlongthcPaclflccoast Senttlo, Tnconin, Portland, Los Angolcs own their own waterworks nnd nro furnishing tho people water from one-third to one-half the pre sent rates In Mnrshfleld, nnd this now frnnchlso wants the rates doubled. Marshflold should own Its own water system. ' Right now Is tho tlmo to begin. Opposition Lawyers Wrangle Over Questions by Judge Bordwell New Evfdence Discovered.
