Citizens of Jacksonville last winter
signed, a petition protesting; against
dismantling the railroad when the
owner, W. S. Ilarniim,. had an offer
from a logging conrern for the rails
and locomotives, but the deal was
never consummated.- According to the
report nt the time, nnrnum offered to
sell the line for $20,000 and there was
some talk of forming a stock com
pany to take It over. The most valu
able asset of the road is ,1110 right of
way, which extends for. five' miles
through a rich orchard .and jigricuU
tnral belt. The railroad for the last
four years has been In a mute , of
"Innocous desuetude," succumbing to
motor stage lines. . . , ,: ; .. '
The road reached the zenith of Its
'prosperity when the' Blue Ledge jnlne
was In operation. It was built in 18'J0.

VAbout .80 business men of the city
met Inst night with the' city council
and city water commission, at which
time H, L. Wall her, chairman of the
water commission, explained in detail
the ' present and future water situa
tion, which necessitates the voting of
a , large bond issue for a new wnter
supply system - from the city's new
source of supply at Putte springs.
Tlits bond issue election, it has been
decided by the city council and water
commission, will be held on October
Nth next, on the same day and at the
samo time the temporary court house
city hall proposition, annexation of
several outlying districts and other
matters will he voted on by the cit
izens of Moil ford.
Hence the members of the. water
commission and city officials gener
ally are anxious to have the necessity
for the wnter bond issue for an ample
new, water system to be thoroughly
understood by every voter, and to this
end a systematic campaign of authen
tic Information from every angle, will
be on between now and the date, of
the special election.'
Sixty business men were invited to
attend fast night'B water situation ed
ucatf anal meeting,;, but only 30 re
sponded. The specinl election will be
called onugust 4, to tnko place over
U0 days later. . .
1 The big question Is now to make it.
so that the new proposed pipe line
can carry 15 second feet of water
from the new supply source, over
twice as much as the present supply,
or whether to nrtvke it larger, which
would cost much more, to carry 20
second feet of water.,:
In either event the necessary bond
issue' would h'k n -very largo one, espe
cially In the case of a' 20 second feet
system.. At last night's meeting when
on informal vote of the business men
present was taken an overwhelming
majority favored the larger bond issue
as the best thing for the city's welfare,
despite' it would cost in the neighbor
hood of-$1 50.00". more.-
