WATER BONDS
BRING PREMIUM
Twenty Thousand Dollars Worth
of City Water Bonds Sold
--Wafer Works to be
Enlarged.
On Saturday night the city
council met as per adjournment of
Monday night to open bids for the
water bonds which were voted by
the people some time since.
There was but one direct bid re
ceived, although there was prac
tically an offer if the bids did not
reach par to take them at that price.
The bonds are for $20,000 to run
20 years drawing interest at the
rate of five per cent per annum.
Morris and Christianson Brothers of
Portlaud, were the successful pur
chasers, their bid being $20,212.50.
While this matter has been pend
ing the council has been investiga
ting the best material for the pipe
line to be laid from the city to the
source of supply. While it is not
yet fully decided, it is probable
wooden pipes will be used.
The main now in use is but fouT
inches in diameter and is found to
be inadequate for the needs of the
citv.
It is proposed to begin the
changing of the pipe and the build
ing of a reservoir as soon as it can
properly be done.
