OREGON POWER
GETS CONTRACT
cision, not having heard tho argu
ments of tlie attorneys In tho case
yet.
Councilman Ferguson said thnt
he favored municipal ownership as
much as anyone, but that ho
thought that tho water system should
como first. Ho said that he thought
Hie water proposition would bo all
the city could handle for a few
years.
Municipal Jcitioiis.
Councilman Winkler said that ho
thought that- If tho Councllmcn had
not been playing politics, tho city
would now have a municipal water
system.
This aroused Councilman Fergu
son's Ire. He said that lie had not
been playing politics, was not play
ing politics and did not enro whether
ho hold office or not. Ho said he
was bandllng the matter purely as
a business proposition. As to tho
"municipal wutor system" which
Mr. Winkler said the city might
liovo had, he was confident that
tho city would have had a "munic
ipal lemon" Instead.
Copplc's Views.
It. A. Copplo said that while ho
luid opposed the contract at first,
ho was now In favor of granting It.
Ho said thnt ho had first thought
that the city might buy tho current
from tho C. A. Smith Company and
light tho streets moro cheaply, but
ho discovered this would nccesHltato
additional poles and wiring and he
had about decided that If the city
was to ongago In tho business, It
TouId bo necessary to buy or con
demn tho Oregon Power Company's
plant. Ho said tho othor towns
In this section had Just given tlve
year contracts and he bought from
his Investigations that the rates
were all right.
Councilman Winkler wanted to
know what his Investigations were
Ho said ho would liko to see a
report and In behalf of tho citizens
he domnnded a report..
Councilman C'opple said that
Winkler had no right to demand
written report, as the committee
chairman, Councilman .Merchant, had
.resigned, and that tho others had
made a verbal report. He said tl at
Councilman Winkler as chairman of
tho waterfront committee had never
made a written report.
Finally the matter was put to a
voto and Allen, Ferguson nnd Cop
plo voted for it and Winkler and
Alhreelit against It. This gave a
majority.
Previously Councilman Winkler
had told of tho great success of
municipal ownership In Clasgow
where they started with a municipal
water sytsem and later acnulred all
nubile, utilities and now they enjoy
tho best kind of service at low rates
nnd tho residents do not have to
pay a cent of taxes. Mr. Ferguson
paid this was a good scheme and ho
knew about It, having been born
In Glasgow, and that ho was In
favor of doing as they had d.)iio-
start with the water system and
gradually got tho others.

and J. N. Teal had inrormeu mom.
.He said he had told them thnt al
though Marshneld was enjoying
much better water service since the
hearing, tho city wanted to get
the matter settled and If tho waiv
ing of arguments would expedite tho
decision. He asked for the views
of the Council on the matter and
they tacitly Indicated that they fa
vored his course.

portal of the tunnel, n distance of
four miles, nnd the Copenhagen

The people here, while glad to see
