Some people in Corvallis have very good well water. But ail can not have BUGh gcoi wtll water. Many a well in this" town has had to be abandoned beca.ise ef the bad character of the water seeping down from the surface. People of the latter class re driven to use of Wil lamette' water and cannot help themselves. Is there anybody -for-tuxa e enough to have good well water that is now opposing the new system which hundreds of people are clamoring for? Hlf tbe area of Corvallis is wholly without fire prot9tion. The new system proposes such an ar rangement of fire hydrants that four streams of water from differed hy drants can be put on any building in town, the ex'reme limits of Job's addition not excepted. : Some - peo-' pie in. the protected poitton of town oppoee the new water system and thereby insist that those without the protected poition of town shall continue without any fire protec troa whatsoever. If the people in the northern and southern portion of town pay taxes, they have aright to a wat?r syBtem that will protect their property from destruction ; by Are and give them lower insurance rates. If the people of western Corvallis pay taxes, and they do, they have a right, as much as have the people of Central Corvallis to fire protection and low insurance rates. If the peopie of . Job's addi tion and WilkisB' addition and tbe other additions pay taxes, which they do, they also should have fire protection for their homes and a re duction in insurance rates, j at-1 as much as do the people of Central Co"vallissomeJof whom'opppse the newwater system. In common justice, in all fairness, by every rule ot equity that should prevail between man aid man,"ought not the peopla in the protected portion to allow tbope'in the unprotected portion ot town t have fire prot-ction and lower insurance rates when the lat ter are appealing for them?
