Makes Statement. 5 Editor Gazette: The peo ple of Corvallis will be called up on within a few days to decide whether we will drift along with our present unsatisfactory water system, for an indefinite time, or whether we will make an effort to improve the present water con ditions in Corvallis. Notwithstanding all has been, or may be said, for or against the water question, this is the issue and this is the only question to be discussed at the coming election. There has been a very strong effort upon the part of the opposition to detract from and ignore the very important question involved, by resorting to all sorts of ques tions and subterfuges and mis statements, and discuss only mat ters that are trivial, when com pared to the main question at is sue. They do not advise our people to vote to sustain the pres ent water system. Thi they know would be resented, but they hope to get them to vote against any change by cntisizing and ob jecting to everything proposed. ; They now claim the proposed water system cannot re built for $75,000; also claim that it will not be selt-sustaining, and object to the kind of pipe suggested by the engineer. In answer to , these and other objections of this nature I will say the Water Committee is com posed of ten well-known citizens of Corvallis, whose interests are identical or in common with their neighbors and fellow citizens. All are careful aud prudent men, and those voting for bonding the city, can rest assured, that this committee will not undertake to build a water system without thoroughly investigating every feature of it. This committee will certainly not start a plant until they are satisfied they can construct a good aud durable system for the monev on hands. This commit tee wiil not commence the water system until they are sare-the revenues from sales of water, at reasonable rate to the consumers, will pay expenses and interest, and eventually pay off the bonds.
