We consider the proposition of Mr. Talbot as a basis of settlement, fair In each and every respect :i0 days time Is given the City of Hood Kiver to finance the proposition and in our judgment It should be closed along these lines. There Is nothing that we can think of that can come up that would change the figures we have submit ted to any material extent. Our attorneys have assured us that there will be no further bill from them, were we to close up now, and we have every reason to believe that Mr. Talbot Is sincere, when he ex presses a desire to close the water ipiestlon. Considering conditions here, we feel that he has done or offers to do, more than a great many would have done and we consider It a good busi ness proposition. We want to urge your acceptance.
