H. HUGGINS Iiy u unanimous Vote of the city council K. (I. Hlahchar was elected to the position of Major of the city Mon day night to till the vacancy caused by ! the resignation of J. M. Wright, which ! was accepted Monday night. The I council acted on a petition, signed I y ' U'f of the electors of the city, which ! reads as follows : I "We the undersigned citizens of Hood River, Oregon, realizing that ! our worthy Mayor, Mr. J. M. Wright, has tendered his resignation as mayor of our city, and realizing the impor tance of having a representative head in our council, who has the interest of the progress of the city at heart, re spectfully request that your honorable body appoint and elect our worthy citi zen, Mr. K. O. lilanchar, as mayor of the city of Hood River, Oregon, and in signing our names to this partition promise our moral and civic support to his administration. " Mr. lilanchar, who is cashier of the First National bank, was formeily a member of the city council and has al ways been a leader in the progressive movements of the city and valley, hav ing been a member of the board of di rectors of the Commercial club last year and the year before. Accord ing to the report of Councilman Rob ertson for the Cue and water commit tee, the city is facing a serious problem in that there will not be sufticient wa ter for the sprinkling of lawns from now until June 1, when the filter sys tem, it is hoped, will be installed, un less the council takes action to increase the supply by renting the ten acres ot ground formerly used for the purpose and securing 10 inches of the farmers Irrigating Cu. water, which will be turned over the tract and allowed to percolate to the city spring. Cour.il man Robertson stated that personally he did not desire to see his lawn die, hut that the committee would make no recommendation. Councilman Hrosius, who as presi dent of the body presided at Monday night's meeting, immediately left the chair, asking Councilman Muggins to preside. "The report of the lire and water committee has brought home to me," he said, "the futility of the past three years' work. I urged that the filter be installed to give the city pure water. Hut now it seems that we propose to stultify our whole record f this is done I shall promptly resign.' Councilman Staten then took the floor and stating that he could appreci ate the position of Dr. llrosiua said that he was sorry Councilman lirosius had taken such a stand. "1 do not con sider that the council will stultify its former action. This is a case ot pmercencv. Unless we take this mpiiiiH for increasine the water supply. the city'a lawns will die, the city will become as barren as u desert instead of a city beautiful. The revenue will more than pay for the cost of taking the action," he said. Councilman Robertson said : "No one in the city is more in favor of a pure water supply than 1 am. It is one of a city's greatest assets. How ever, it seems that an emergency ex ists. I have been boiilng my water for the past several years and I am willing to continue it for the next few months. The filters have to be shipped from the far east. It may be that they will ar rive he'e by June 1. but we have no miHrantea of it and we may have t wait longer for it. 'lhe superintendent of the cilj water department tells me that the water is at a very low state and that we are facing a water fam ine. 1 will take his word for these things. As to the puiity of the sys tem, 1 must give my attention to Dr. lirosius, but under the serious emerg ency, 1 think we should undertake to secure more water. I would rather boil the water than see the shrubbery die." Councilman Staten then asked Coun cilman Riosiusifhe had any sugges tions as to how me city couiu secuie water except by the action proposed by the fire and water committee. "It is purely a question of the health of the citizens of this city," was the president of the council's reply. Ac tion on the matter was deferred for a week. The ordinance for the calling of a special election to vote on the pioposi- ed extenison of the limit of the city s indebtedness from f,000 to $10,001) and thej proposed legalizing of a special indebtedness of $10,000 for the pur chase of woter systems now in opera tion in the city had its final passage Monday night.
