Set The setting aside of the entire Layng creek watershed for the benefit of tin- city of Cottage Drove in securing a supply of water for municipal purposes is asked in a resolution which has been adopted by tbe city council nml copies uf which have been forwarded to the forestry department and to Con gressman W. C. lluwley. The city now gets its water from a portion of this watershed, but the pres ■ nt nrrangenH-nt is not satisfactory, espeeially ns concerns the future, nml the council thought this action nod's sary in order that the federal govern ment may know just what is needed to safeguard possible future needs of the city and be guided in the sale of timber in this reserve. Part of the watershed has been logged and part has not. The work of repairing the leaks in the main under the water in Ijiyng creek at th* old dam probably will la- completed within a few days. The water committee has bis'n exerting ev A v effort to get this done promptly ^ the elements have been nguinxt them. With no rains for a few days a temporary-dam enn be thrown around that portion of tho pipe whieh is to be repaired and the work done ijuickly. All the debris which laid against thc dam and upon thi' pipe line hnx been removed by the logging company. thuu to construe them to meun that we are to keep our streets and alleys cleaner, repair in a substantial way our paved and macadam streets and alleys, improve a few blocks of our most used unimproved streets anil alleys, includ ing tlie route of 1‘ucific highway, ami improve or change the locutiou of the intake of our water line so as to ies win, or entirely prevent, if ’possible, the contamination of our water supply, and increase taxes to the extent that may I k - necessary to accomplish these improvements and betterments. Jt this is done it will be economy in the long run and admit of less taxes in later years. This program will also return, indirectly, to the property own ers much of the increased burden of the near future by bringing to them an increased value of their property, more business and more payrolls. At least that is my judgment. Such is my interpretation of the plat form and it appears to be the only reasonable one, and I cannot see thi inconsistency that its critics try to point out 1 favor the improvements above mentioned ami 1 want to say that the incoming council, whoever they may be, would be absolutely powerless dur ■ ng the first year’s incumbency to make any headway along the line of street improvements or betterment ot the intake for our water supply if it were not for the nction of the council of lull* and HtJO in raising the water rates and submitting to the voters ot the city the last amendment to our city .charier uml recommending its adoption. These two acts have provided the nionns with which to make better nients that must lie paid for by the general and water funds and deserve as much praise and commendation as anything that can possibly be done by the incoming council. One of these acts meant increased taxes for the prop erty owuers and the other nu-ant in creased expense to every wuter user. It takes considerable nerve and a strong sense of duty for a councilman to vote for a rity law or regulation that means increase^ expenses for his neighbors when liis business depends, more or less, upon the good w ill of those same neighbors. Let me say in conclusion that the nction of those citizens who brought out the ticket composed of Nelson, Bede, Short, Metcalf, Kakin, Galloway and Knowles have performed a noble and patriotic net, from a civic stand ’\ioint, no matter who is elected, for it has amused u greater interest in the progress of the city than has been in e vide nee for mauy years. They promise to support any cuuneil that is elected this year in bringing alKiut needed city improvements and this is a contrast to the actions of those who heretofore have paid no attention to the city council. For be it known that a large portion of otherwise respectable citi zi-ns have been contemptibly slack in giving helpful assistance am* criti eism to the city council and despicably diligent in offering up streev co-ner ridicule and slander for the noie-xt and unpaid efforts of the city fathers.
