It will be a cltisens' contribution to efficient municipal government, since the expert service of. the bureau will always be at the command of-the ad ministration. - At the same tlme'the bureau will be entirely independent of the administra tion. Ths city . will not be asked to contribute a cent No city official will he asked to contribute, or permitted to do so.. It is desired that the bureau be free to criticise or commend or help and to make it all or in part the crea ture of the administration would nullify this- purpose. '.' Holton Xji aa Xzperi.

The gov ernment has sent a communication to the city stating that In the event the city can arrange to protect the govern ment from any damages that might fol low the closing of the canal, the govern ment will turn its Interests over to the municipality. The city has secured re leases from ' persons holding (water rights, except two, who are asking, ex orbitant prices. . The canal was built many years ago and was need to irri gate a small acreage contiguous to the city. When the government project was built, the canal was abandoned, except to supply water for a few individuals holding rights for property within the corporate limits: Proposed closing of ths canal has long supplied campaign thunder for municipal office seekers. 84.
