Advertising rates furnished on | BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL application. | OF THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, JACK- SON COUNTY, STATE OF OREGON: Because some unforseen difficulties have arisen is no reason why the council should “lay down” in the matter of constructing waterworks. Almost every municipality has encountered obstacles in the path of progress, the overcoming of which butserved to make the value of the improvements more apparent. The aim of the council to secure a water supply for the city is a laudable one, and althongh mistakes may have been made there is no good reason why the proposition should be abandoned; the difficulties and set-backs that have been encountered should rather serve as a spur to further and more careful work in the future. The majority of the citizens have shown by their votes at the bond elections that they want water and we believe will insist that the matter be carried forward to a successful issue. Stick to it, the people are backing the proposition. Work on the water system is at a standstill and it seems likely to continue so for the present at least. Efforts are being made to effect a settlement with Mr. Mears, the contractor whereby the city will take over the uncompleted work, material, etc. and relieve him from further duties in the matter. An estimate of all work done and material furnished, has been made by the en gineer and a proposal submitted which if accepted will sever his connection with the work.
