City Water System
Improvements Again Halted
The troubles o f the Estacada
city council in obtaining the nec
essary im provem ent at the intake
of the Estacada water supply,
have again been increased, ac
cording to M ayor Lovelace, who
now reports that Mrs. Mary
Stubbe, whose land surrounds
the present intake, has within
the past fe w days purchased the
Davis and W ebster tract adjoin
ing, a part o f which tract the city
had planned to buy, in order to
install the intake on land not
dominated by private parties.
For many years past, this ever
lasting friction between the City
o f Estacada and Mrs. Stubbe has
appeared more or less a joke and
considered a part o f the penalty
o f being a member o f the city
council, but from now on the
c ity ’s attitude is changed.
There are stringent laws re
garding municipal water rights
and the obstruction o f same and
the legal rights o f this city are
now going to be exercised.
During these times, when this
city and all others have plenty to
do in aiding the United States in
it ’ s many needs, Estacada has no
time or money to waste in quar
reling with' a stubborn property
owner, regardless o f nationality,
and drastic action will soon be
underway. __ __

Springwater Voted Special
Road Tax
The N ew s was in error last
week, when it published the
statement that the Springwater
Road District, No. 33, had voted
no special tax at its annual meet
ing-.
Since then, a dozen or more o f
that district's loyal taxpayers
have informed us o f our mistake,
as they not only voted a five mill
special tax. but voted it by a
count o f 32 to 8.
This money is
to be expended largely in the
building o f other than the main
travelled highway in that district.
