'During all this time warrants were

fund-waTrantf issued in ye&f TBSS vere"
not redeemed until year 1 898 and war
rants issued" in, yer 1894 were pot re
deemed unt.1 1901. , One pan. readily see
with .reduced .xpense commencing with
the ysar 1 896,- the1 gain in the redemp
tion, of . warrants was more rapid than
formerly, ' causing the scale 6f warrants
at increased price. , . I was a' member of
the city council of La Grande from March
896 to MarcV1904,., ex?ept about four
months, a continuous service of almost 8
years', and general fijnd warrants in 1904
found ready sale at 95$ on the dollar,
Now one more wont about those springs
and our watar.supply. Mr. unman says
I : 1'- '-... ' - -' ' '
have a -pet-scheme for-supplying Morgan
lake water tothe'eitizehs, of La Grande.
Let s tee' if that is correct
self , and' '.associates' conceived th;
idea of developing of a power" plant for
th gefieritiori o(..i(teclf.i(;ity arid' .wi.spent'
our own money in doing so or put up -our
own securities to get tKS krianey expended
and did not ask the city of La Grande for
any bonds.'"" Bat last Tatl , when it was
thought necessary to ' repair -the city
pumps, myself as apoltesmen for the com
pany Informed' the city council that they
could use tha - overflow water of - the
power planLfor thirty days without any
expense td the'etty.ptherthan fixing. there
wn flum-j or bix from t'icttur station
to th reservoir.' -Then if the water proyr
edsatlsfactoty to the' citizen for use we
would make them a less price :for the
water delivered in. the iesevoir than It.
cost thefri to' tin th pumps (perhaps, 'thi'
was a gTeftfc-'-Th member of the..Cit,j
counoil were. very fair and took some pt
th Water" and sent 'A way fof annalr.l,
ysis and when returns came it 'was not
satisfactory . 'and tha que stion' has never
been. trsen ted, to. the pity council ..since,
and it will not be 1 can assure, you -and
th city has not, been, to ono dollar ofr ex
pense to my knowledge as reason of our
development of m i electric plant tht I
every citizen oi l uranae isn muij i
much more satisfactory than any former
lighting plant in La Grande. J J -. J
in loas mi, w. u. nuntor was ap
proached and asked to buy th Falk
springs now in controversy at the price of
$1,400.00 by a gentleman who said he
thni held an option on them at that price.
Whdgets the other $1,600.00 if 'they
can 1e sold to the city at the present
prka of $3,000.00? Perhaps Mr. Oilman
can U 1 us.
Then after the Falk springs are pur
chased what will we have to pay to get
the several springs on the Schilling land?
I am told that the price of th Schilling
place is $6Qq0.opi (ft this is so w would
not have much : oney left for th piping
of th water to. th rsrvoir, , . . i
Then perhaps Mr. Oilman can tell us
What h riM.Tnam mniilH
say if w should decide to absorb all, this
water supply. I remember that only
few yerg6'thy fought and wbrr this
vary sam water supply and they would
not be likely to sit idly by and see us of
th Nw Town ' absorb - all thsir water
supply without a protest, in fact 1 know
they would object very strongly and they
would be orbtected In their rights.
