nouncement will soon be ninde by

A sp.-elal meeting was called for

purpose of rounding out the Armis

parations for the day. It is request
ed that all or the leglnnalrres at
tend this meeting.
Roseburg's municipal light "and
water project waa practically killed
yesterday In the special election
which was held for the purpose of
considering tho charter amendment
giving the council the right to con
demn the prosent plant. The vote
was exceedingly light, only 4H0 votos
being cast, of which number 260 were
in opposition to the change.
Although the city still has the
authority to Issue $500,000 In bonds
and proceed with a new plant, It Is
very doubtful that the council will
act in the face of the adverse vote
shown yesterday. The present coin,
puny is In a position to fight every
move tho city might make. There
Is no doubt but that the attempt of
the city to construct a new plant
would be fought at every turn and
long and expensive litigation would
develop.
It Is also very doubtful If $500,000
would be sufficient to build a new
plant and lay the necessary distribu
tion system. The cost of construct
ing new watermnlns, new power lines,
etc., would be enormous and the
runds would quickly disappear.
There Is also no assurance that with
the present company In full competi
tion that sufficient patrons could be
Mcured for the city plant to keep It
In operation, hence It la very prob
ublo thnt the Issue Is dead.
The opposition yesterday appeared
oulto strong and active. There was
practically no Interest displayed in
the election nnd few people exerted
Iholnselves io go to the polls nnd
vote. Many people hnd never con
cerned themselves with the question
and took no Interest ono way or the
other.
The history of the case dates hack
for several years. By a large vote
he city council was given authority
to Issue bonds In the sum of 1500,-
nno. There was practically no oppo-
ltlon to this move, the vote probably
being Influenced to a great extent
because of the failure of the company
to provide adequnte service during
one summer, owing to dinlctutlea at
its plant.
It wns round impossitiie, nowever
due to the high cost of materials and
nbor to build a plant for the sum al
lowed. It was seen that the distrl
liution system would be exceedingly
expensive and then additional In
creases In wnter and power rater

commission nnd the council decided

Yesterdnv's election will doubtless
have several far reaching results. I
will prevent the council from enn
demnlne the present plant. Tbli
lmves ihe local company In a post
Ion to flKht any move which tne ciiv
would combat any attempt to lower
the earnings of the company. On the
other hand the council has a very
limited sum with which to work; a
sum probably Inadequate for the pur
pose Intended. This sum would not
permit ot expensive court proceed
ings In addition to the payment of
the construction program, therefore
it is reasonable to assume that the
council will not attempt to Issue the
bonds and will make no move toward
the building of a municipal plant
Yesterday's vote clearly expressed
opposition to the taking over of the
present plant. In all except one ward
the opposition led while In that ward
the opposition waa only four votes
behind. This showing will doubtless
e accepted by the city council as
finally disposing ot the municipal
plant project and will atop all furth
er proceedings. The vote by wards
was as follows:
