His Qgument was met with stute

Chairman Coolidge said he would
appoint a permanent committee from
the Ad Club to advise with end assist
if possiblj the city comm&sion in the

ing officially adjourned. e
Lingering to talk It over, a number
of men gathered around Commissioner
Grundy utid it win then that the mat
ter of installing an auxiliary pumping
plant forthwith for Uie present erne
gency was baought up, and Mr. Gnn
dy explained his ideus, which were
gooil,. ami were immediately adopted,."
So enthusiastic was. tho subjeot llis
cussed, that volunteer labor was of
fered if the city found it hard to got
help. ''I can still handle a wrench
and am willing to do ariything to help
thrs city get water and get it quickly,"
said W. H. Bohnenkamp.
"It is not necessary bo wait for con
crete for a foundation," said Dave
Stoddard, "for wo will saw the big
timbers at Perry and deliver them to
the city where it indicates, and the
pumps can be set on these timbers and
started at' once."
. To sum up the whole meeting and
its results, it would seem that Ia
Grande is to hnvo river water and the
city is to install an auxiliary pumping
plant, which will bo for use at any
and all times in the future.
