IN REGARD TO THE
WATER
A suit has been instituted by
the city of Estacada, in the cir­
cuit court against Mrs. F. L.
Heylman for $334 back water
rent. By referring to the report
of the March meeting of the
council, it will be seen that a bill
of $300 was presented to that
body by Mrs. Heylman, for right
of easement for water main
which passes through her pro­
perty. This bill the council re­
jected. It is not our intention
to comment, because the case if
not settled amicably, will be tried
in the court. This tangle with a
number of other long outstanding
accumulations of water r e n t
arrears, the present council has
inherited.
The late recorder was grossly
negligent, to put it nuldly, in
collecting the water rents, and
in keeping accounts, which tinally
caused such a muddle, that he did
not know, nor could an expert
accountant ascertain, what was
due to the city.
There was an
evident shortage, which finally
was compromised by the accept­
ance of a thousand dollars tender­

ed by his wife.
A number of citizens are owing
various sums, which aggregate
a large amount.
The present
council is endeavoring to collect
these, as it is their bounden duty,
and the city needs the money
imperatively. Some have paid,
others are paying by install­
ments, and others are ignoring
the demand. Yet these are valid
debts, the same as store billsv
It may well be asked why previ­
ous councils allowed such a con­
dition to continue? It may be,
that they can be called to account
for such negligence, which places
the present council in a most un­
enviable position, either to violate
their oath of office or risk offend­
ing their personal friends.
Mayor Bartlett has been criti­
cized for pressing the case against
the late recorder and endeavor­
ing to collect the back rents, but
he has been only doing his duty,
which if his predecessors had
done, it would not have de­
volved on him.
Little Mary McLintock had the
misfortune to fall from a fir tree,
and cut a gash in her head so
that it was necessary to have it
dressed by the doctor who had to
take four stitches.
