There will be a fine supper serveu,
A mass meeting under the auspices I
of the East Kugene Improvement j
Club was held In the Fnlriuount hall
last night for the purpose of discus
sing the plans of the city council
relative to the proposed water power
plant to be established on Hie McKon
zie river, in the vicinity of Wnlter
vlllp. About a hundred tax-paying
voters of the city wore 'present and
at times there was considerable en
thusiasm showing, the interest tnken
in this matter by residents of East
Eugene, and the city at InrRe, as
.nearly every portion of tho city was
represented at the meeting.
Tho meeting was productive of
much good, as facts were brought
out by tho different speakers that
have never been given to the public
before. Govern! of tho spnkors
showed how the council had been
misrepresented In all matters per
taining to the establishment of a
municipal water system for several
years past and facts iind flguros wore
produced to show what tho members
of the council Individually and the
council as a body had done every
thing In their power to promote the
bett welfare of the cltiir.ens In work-
! Ing for municipal ownership in the
pnst and now for I no power pinni.
The meeting wus presided over by
W. II. Dempster, and Attorney II. E.
Slattery acted as Secretary. Attorney
S. I). Allen was the first speaker, lie
opposed the proposed power plant,
stating as his reason therefor thnt 111
his opinion tho city council hns no
authority under tho present charier
to proceed. Otherwise ho favored the
proposition.
Councilman Garrett addressed the
meeting fnvorlng the proposition to
provide power for neeeds of the city
and in response to a question of l'rof.
Yiinnir ns to whv tho proposition KIIS
! not submitted to a vote of the people
stated that tho matter had tieen a
number of times submitted and car
Irled, and that the city council, after
I consultation with Its attorneys hnd
been duly advised that the voters of
tho cltv hnd nlrendy conierren upon
I tho council all power that could he
i conferred, and that tho council now
'has full authority to proceed with
the construction of the power plant.
Mr. Garrett's speech was forceful
and to the point and ho gave the op
position a number or hard raps, ana
jitdglng'from tho applause at times,
the majority In the audience felt that
the rebuke was merited. Mr. Garrett
reviewed the nlstory of the move
ment for a city water plant and mnde
a strong appeal for tho support of
tlio people In the power plant enter
prise, lie refuted the charges of
graft on the part of the council, made
by the opposition, and rend the con-traf-t
