Monday eveniug at the tegular meeting of the city council au ordtu auce was passed calling tor a bond election to be held Novembei 12 wbeu the oitlzdua will have ,n opportunity to decide whethet or uot the oity shall issue bonds for the ootistructoit Of a water plant und the btltigitig In ol the 1'uckei- spring to furnish Mood Kiver with a pure uud adequate sup ply of water. The question which will be submit tet) to the people will oali for a "yes'' or "no" answer as to whether the oity shall (lost houds to the extent of about 180,000 for the insinuation of the municipal water system, which will insure a pei manently satis factory wuter supply tor this city. I'his will mean pure water through uiaiua which will stand a pressure tor Ore protection and in quantities surtloient to supply a city sevciai times the size of Hood Kiver. The ordinance had passed Its Hrst reading at a lm met meeting ot the council and .Monday night it was pas ted unanimously by a full nieetiug of the city fathers, the following men were named to form tho election bosrd: O. II. liHker, K. (J Smith. H. L. Howe, Roy I". Blonom and W C. Oilniore. A petition tor this election was piesented to the council several weekB ago and was sigued by citizens aud taxpayers nt this city. After the routiue order ot business bad been finished by the council the following committee from the civic league presented the report ot the "water commission": V. 0. Brock, Dr. II. L. Dumbte, Truman Butler, W. L. Clarke, 0. H. Ktranahau Frauk . Oram aud J. II. Ileilbrou ner. Mr. Brock aud Dr. Dubois acted as the spokesmen tor the com mittee in putting their report befcre the council. Mr. Brock iu addressing the ooun oil did not read the repoit of the "water commission" which was pub lished in the Ulacier last week and is familial to most of the citizens of the oity. He wished it undeistood that the oivic league was not trying in any way to in'.erfere with the de liberations of the council but bad only tried to gather data which might aid in the water question. He said t'mt the report did uot go iuto de tails which it would be necessary for the council to work out. He told the council that after much investi gation the "water commissiou" flu ally got into communication with the water oompauy aud received the proposition from the corporation wi ich is at present turnikbiiiK the oity with water. The civic league had accepted and endorsed the pro position put forward by the watei company aud thoy recommend it to the Investigation of the council. Mr. Brock asked the council to give the matter immediate consideration iu older I but liny might reach some con elusion in the mutter belore tho bond election which had been culled, lu closing be stated that Dr. Dtimble was present aud could say a tew woids in behalf of the water com pany's proposition. Upon the iuvitatiou of Mayor JTo Douald, Dr. Dumble spoke to the council at length ou the water ques tion. He said that the object ot the commission hail been to resell a sol u ion pf the water question fully and absolutely iu the interests uf the people. He told of the preliminary woik of the commission, reporting the lava bed spring as one witb a per t'eot supply hot too expensive to bring iuto the city. He saitl that the flicker spiing gave a good aud ample supply of water and that another spring just above It could be procur ed If necessary which would insure idequute water tor the city for mauy years to come. He said the commission had then un ited the wa er company to make, the best proposition they could In uoiiaideiation of being glveu exclusive rights to sell water. This resulted in the water company's proposition which was communicated to the council tbiough the " water oommis liOO." On being questioned by Mayor McDonald and members of the couuoil, Dr. Dumble was not uble I" .nswer ery satisfactorily a number , I questions concerning the plan pro I osed by the watei company, lie -ai I that the otMnuiission had made i n examination ot the river bed look in" into tho practicability of putting in wells. He ii fo mcd the cil.v fathers that tii water company Inteuued to stay lu huslue-s "even if tbe city should Install 40 splliiKS," but when asked for proof that the water ocnipany was going to stsy in business he stated that the ooiiimiesitiu hud nsinned that the clly could not, get rid ot the com pauy, Mayor McDonald pointed out the way by which the oity could can eel the franchises ot the company aud be liable for the value of the plant to be determined by the courts. Dr. Dumble stated when It was suggested Mint Hood Klver water was not tit to drink that the water company would put In a sand filter, but there was nothnig ot this iu the wuter com pany's proposition Baton he closed Di. Dumble made an effort to convince the council that the was not working in the interest ot the water company and ci'ed the In formation that last spring hn hud "stirred up the stench" and caused the analysis to he made of the water being furnished by the company. He assumed the responsibility for the whole arlalr and jealously de ended bis right to the honor or blame when the mayor laughiuitly suggested that he had been under the impression that many persons held the city's ohief responsible. He wished to re liefs tbe mayor ot any Idea that tbe latter had had anything to do with stirrtug matters up and claimed sole responsibility for "stirring up the stench . Dr. Dumble stated that it would be much cheaper to Install ihe plant at the river than to bring in the t'uckei spring, but when asked bow much tbe pumping plant would cost, be gave in mat i mate whatever, aud sought relief iu the explanation that the cost was up to the oompauy and not the altair of the commission. Dr. Bioaiui stated that ten years ago the water in Hood Kiver was just as pure as that to lie hail from tbe Tucker spring, but that iu a few more ye, , the river might become so much more contaminated that the wells would not give pure water. Mr. Dumble stated that in the event of tbe water becoming impure, a sand filter would remove absolutely nil impurities and cited cases of several eastern cities whi b tillered river water suocessully. In soma of those cities however they do not pieteud to use tbe city supply for di inking purpose. i'be report submitted to the council was referred to the committee ou tire and wuter and they were Instructed to report ou it at the next meeting iu compliance with tbe request of Mr. Brock I'be fruit fair association was given permission to erect a temporary building on the south side of tbe opera house, iu which to display ap ples. Au ordinance was introduced limiting the speed of autotnibilea to eight miles au hour within tbe city limits. I'be ordinance granting tbe telephone company a franchise was passed. I be sewet committee report ed that in distilct No. 6 septic tauks would tie necessaty as the outlet to the river w:;s shut ofj by the pro perty of the ice company. PcrmancHt Kxhlbil In Portland A. W. Mossessohn, assistant secre tary of tbe Portland Chamber of Com meice, was here Friday nrrauging for Hood Kiver to have a permauent ex hibit in the display uf Oregon pro ducts which the oragniaztion is ar ranging on the ground floor cf the Commerolal Club builduig In that city. Mi. Mossessohn met with the directors of the local Commercial Club aud they assured him that Hood Kiver would ttiruish fruit aud iltera tate of the valley at once to be placed iu t be spare sislgned to the county. Heirs (et The Money The 1250 lu currency, which fur nished Nome convincing evidence on which (ieorge Bobbins was sent to prison for life, was F'riday ordered turned over to the estate of Mrs. Iliiialine Castoe, the murdered woman. After Kobhius conviction, bis at torneys, A. A. .layno and S. w, Stark, made application to Jugde Hradhaw, tiefore whom the case was ti led, for au order turning the mouey over to them. By a decision rendered Fliday it was turned nvei to K. 11. Hail wig, attorney for Mrs. Castce's estate. League Vein Iters Discuss lie port. Last Thursday evening a few of the leading supporters of the report of the recent "water commissinu" called a meeting at the Commercial Club to discuss ways and means by which the report could be put before the oooucil. The Civic Improvement League had itlreidy instructed its directors to put the report into ths hands of tne city t d hers iu order that they might be glveu the new light gained by the commission from tbe water company, but when the sub stance of the report becenie public the leaders immediately realized that it did not meet the requirements as a solution of the question. Through some uiisundertanding several outsiders wandered into the meeting aud as it result the speak ers who supported the proposition of the water company, were very guarded in their remarks aud It is uudei stood that anothei more exclu sive gathering was called together the following morning at which they could 'apeak out lu meeting." At the Thursday night meeting, Dr. 11. L. Dumble, who did most of tbe talking, became very emphatic in his denunciation of the boud issue, laid grout stress ou tho poiut tnat the present water company should be grunted tbe concessions which it asks of the people. He assured the persons preseut that he would appear tiefore the coimc'l aud do his share of tbe talking, "especially if there was any opposition. " V. C. Brock felt that tbe report of tbe commission should be submitted to the council according to the origi nal directions of the civic league, aud that the men preseut had no author ity to withdraw the report because they thought it might not meet with apprtval. lie was heartily iu favor of Hie water company's propositou but he sain that It was really the pro via co of tho council ami uot tbe civic league to make a contract with the oompauy. Other sneakers who sup ported tbe so-called water oommis siou's report were: Truman Butler, ,1. II. 11 iel bron ner, Charles A. Bell, 0. H. S rnnaliHii, W. L. ('lark and Frank A. Cram. Dr. ,). K. Watt and J. II. Utll, both of whom are directors of tbe civic league, expressed themselves as dis approviug of the report of the com mission embodying tne water com pany's proposition, and made it clear that they did not want the report pre sented to the council us having tbe DDanimODI support of the organisa tion. They stated that tbey were both petitioners belore tbe council asking Mir a bund election and were in favor of tbe city I ringing in the Tucker spring.
