SCI COUfJClL
Deal Pending for Rights on
Mill Property; Better
' S 'Source is Wanted
- 8CIO, Dee; 11 The Sclotown
council Is to meet In adjourned
regular - session Thursday -. night
f os the purpose of completing the
details of a deal -whereby the
city purchases a tract of land
from the Sdo Mill ' it- Elevator
company . on which the city pnmp
and reservoir have been located
Jor several years, and for which
the city- nas been paying
monthly rentaL :
The . tract consists of approxi
mately ISO feet frontage and ex
tends to the center of Thomas
creek on .the sooth, according to
the terms agreed . upon between
the council and representatives
of the mill company at a regular
meeting of the city - officers
Thursday evening. The consider
ation is stated as 1400.
Authorisation of this procedure
- was made by the adoption of
city ordinance at a special elec
tion held November 17, when the
result of the ballot showed al
most a 10 to 1 decision for the
Improvement of the water sys
tem. The ordinance limits ex
penditures for this purpose to
the sum of $2500.
It is understood the sale of the
tract by the mill company car
ries with It a cancellation of the
asserted contract between the
company and the city whereby
the latter was to pay to the for
mer the sum of 9240 a year from
the mill company's race. This al
feged contract had been repudl
ted by the council some months
tro for thA rcuAn that it -
said not to be legal.
From time to time during1 re
cent years samples of the water
used in Sclo have been submitted
to the state board of healjth for
analyses, with the result that
frequently the water has been
condemned as unsuitable for
drinking purposes. Treatment of
the water, which comes from
Thomas creek through the mill
company's race, by chlorination
process seems not to have wholly
eliminated contamination, hence
the move toward more whole
some water by drilling operations
and experiments.
