' - WANT WATER Montavilla's Liquid Supply Be comes Very Sjcarce. . Scarcity ot water has caused the resi dents of Montavilla to put on their thinking caps and do some very ,loud thinking of their own accord. With the" advent ot warm weather there has been a decided scarcity of the water supply from the Mount Tabor Water Company. Montavilla people especially are loud in their protests against the action "of the water company in shutting oft the water supply after 8 p. m. The water company has given orders that no one will be'allowed to take a bucket of water from hla neighbor with out permission of the company.. Even those residents who have troughs to water their horses and stock will now have to . keep their troughs closed so that ' stock not their own will not be abj to refresh their thirst without first notifying the company and paying for the privilege. This action of"'the company in refusing to allow the free watering of stock 'is causing great Indignation among the Montavillaltes and they say that they will retaliate. ...Low muterings have gone forth from the residents for some time on account of the water company's action and now an effort will be made at the next meeting of the Stat Legis lature to pass a bill that will annex the district to the . City of Portland. The school question, too, is one of the causes of the unrest among residents of the detrtct. Although the School facili ties of the district are much better than the average suburb of Portland tha peo ple are not satisfied and say that they want the same -educational advantages for their children that the younger gen eration in the city receive. Anyway, Montavilla people are not going to let the grass grow under their feet. Veterans in Camp. Testerday's attendance at the reunion of the Civil Wftd.
