In order to discuss the matter a mass meeting of citizens has been called at the City Hall this evening. At the election only the question of issuing bonds will be decided, al though a preferential vote may be held to decide whether Milwaukie fa vors Bull, Run or Minthorn Springs water, and these are the questions which will be considered at the mass meeting Tuesday night. It had been supposed that Bull Run water might be secured by extending a main to Sellwood and there attach ing to the system, but after some in vestigation it was ascertained that on ly the lower portion of Milwaukie would have sufficient pressure from that source, and hence an eight or 10 inch main would be required from the higher reservoir at Mount Tabor, the cost of which would absorb most of fie money realized from the bond is sue. However, if Minthorn Springs are used it will require a pumping sta tion in order to cover the entire dis trict. Milwarfde at present is fair ly well piped in the residence sections and would only require a few large mains for fire protection. x At the last meeting of the City Council the following judges and clerks were appointed to serve at the special election: Judges, P. Kling, F. S. Lachler and H. Phillips; clerks, F. S. Harlow and Leo Johnson. ERIENDS PAY TRIBUTE TO MRS. WILLIAMS mament.
