Mr. J. M.Tanner then addressed the
meeting ;n part as follows:
"I suppose any person who is a tax"
paver here has a right to free his mind ?
say what he thinks. For one I am
strictly against it. I do not beiieve
that any one of the heavier taxpayers
in town is in favor of it. Uy the first
of June we would have to p.-y,
COO upon the signing of the agreement
of lease, the foOuO annual installment;
and to that 8 percent, interest on the
125000, $2000, and that together I be
lieve would make 915000, then add
?7000 necessary to properly manage our
schools for the jear and you have $22
000, and in addition to that we have a
debt of <2:00 already and it would cost
(5000 or more to put the water and
light plant in shape to serve the city,
making In all an amount of $29,000 to be
paid itbe first yeas, to say nothing of
the current running expenses of the
city during that time, and t, for one,
would like to know where in the name
of God they are going to get the
money.
Wants Inf , rotation
"I believe we should meet this mat
ter face to faoe and we should be given
time to have an e>pert examination
made of the books and property of the
company and And out if it is possible to
get the water company to show up Its
books. This is a business proposition,
and I do not believe any business man
would put $25,000 into a proposition
without seeing the books and records
of sales so he could figure the income.
Why the books might show that money
was sent up here from below to pay
their running expenses and that the
plant had been running at a loss instead
of having a profit.
"If this Is a good thing It will keep.
If this is what counciicnen think it, let
them take an option it and Investigate
as a business man would and as is being
done with mining properties every
day."
Councilman In Opoocliion
Members of the council who were
present. were asked by the chairman to
maks remarks as to the reasons in lavor
of leaalng or purchasing the plants.
To this request councilman DeSerisy
stated that he did not know any more
about it than anyone else there; that
when ths matter wasdiscused in the
council meetings no mention was made
of where they would v.*?t the money to
pay for It, but the only talk was that |
It was a good tlrng for the city and
that for that reason they should buy.
Councilman Jfettlea repeated Mr. De
Sensy's remarks and definitely express
ed himself ?s opposed to the lease or
purchase.
Shaa OeollnM Invitation
Mr. DeSerisy then reported that
Councilman Shea was in the next room j
att?3din< a Fireman's meeting. Thej
chairman requested Mr. De Seriay to j
yalc Mr. rfh&a if would come before
the meeting and explain a few matters
In connection with the proposed lease
or purchase. Mr. De Serlsy after call
log on Mr. Shea reported te the meet
ing that the latter sai4he did not have
time. It was considered Important to
have some light on this phase of the
question and a committee of three con
sisting of Messrs. Hoekett, Ashley and
Tanner were sppointed and in- ?
structed to wait on Mr. Shea
and urge him to appear before the
meeting and explain the matter to the
taxpayers from his point of view. The
committee reported that Mr. Shea an
swered their request by saying that
there were no taxpayers there and he
did not consider it necessary to go be
fore the meeting.
The chairman called on Mr. McGrath
to make a statement and it was found
that Mr. McGrath had left the hall.
The chairman then asked Mr. De
Serisy if he would try and get Mr. Mc
Grath to come before the meeting.'
Mr. D* Serlsy left In search of Mr. Mc
Grath, and reported later that be was
not to be found.

The following resolutions were intro
duced by W. W. Boughton and passed
unanimously:
"Resolved, That It is the sense of this
meetiag that the attempt to force the
question of lease or purchase of the

Company bv election Monday, June 3d,
is premature, and be it further
"Resolved, That this meeting protest
against the holding ef the proposed
election for this purpose at that time,

be obtained by the taxpayers regarding
the proposed lease or purchase.

took it. For the first three months 1
took them to the N ? Dispensary, and
they told me that the children had ring

with warm water and Cuticura Soap
