Next Tuesday is the day for adop
tion or rejection of our proposed new
city charter. There seems to be very
little opposition never-the-less prac
tically this same charter was defeated
simply because a great many voters
did not turn out, thinking there was
no question but what the charter
would pass. The charter In this elec
tion is really ?( minor Importance.
Upon the adoption t)r rejection of this
charter means the completion or the
abandonment of the Beaver Creek wa
ter project. The city has secured the
approval of the government in the
Betting aside of the Beaver Creek wa
ter shed. We have len attempting to
secure this water for the paBt three
years. t!f this ctiarter fails to receive
the approval on Tuesday, it means the
people' do not want this mountain
drinking' water and will let the op
portunity go by that will be regreted
later on. Let there be a large vote
turned out. Let every citizen assume
his portion of responsibility and then
what ever may result it cannot be
said a small clique dominated. We
have had no more important election
for a long time, much more than who
1b to be mayor or marshal).
