Mr. Boughton arose and expressed a
wish that someone favoring tbo pur
chase or lease of the plant would come
forwaru and ..answer questions as the
reasons for buying or Jta>in? the pla_t?
TAN.\tR ASKS fkOM
WHENCt Hit PAY
Mr. J. M. Tanner then addressed the
meeting in part as follows:
"I suppose any person who is a tax*
payer her-j has a right to free bis mind ?
say what he thinks. For one I am
strictly against it. I do not believe
that any one of the heavier taxpayers
ia town Is in favur of it. Jiy the first
of June 19J8 we would havetop.-v,
jSCOO upon the signing of the agreement
of lease, the $5000 annual installment;
aad to that 8 percent, interest on the
$25000, *2000, anil that together I be
lieve would make $15000, then add
$7000 necessary to properly manage our
schools for the year and you have $22
000, and in addition to that we have a
debt of J2C00 already and it would cast
$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 ithe first year, to say nothing of
the current running expenses of the
city during that time, and I, for one,
?would like to know where in the name
of God they are go ng to get the
money.
Wants Information
"I believe we should me^t this mat
ter face to face and we should be given
time to have an expert examination
made of the books and property of the
company and find 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
waj sent up here from below to pay
their running expen??s 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 councilrren 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."
Coancilmen In Opposition
Members of the council who were
present, were asked by tbe chairman u>
maka remarks as to the reasons In favor
of leading or purchasing the plants.
To this request councilman DeSeriiy
stated that he did not know any more
about it than anyone else there; that
when the matter was 'Uscused in the
council meetings no mention was made
of where they would p:t the money to
pay for it, but the only talk was that
It was a good th'ng for the city and
(hat for that reason they should buy.
Councilman Nettles repeated Mr. Da
Sensy's remarks and dennitely express
ad himself ?s eppoted to the lease or
purchase.
8hem D'olines Invitation
Mr. DeSerisy then reported that
Councilman Shea was in the next room
attandini a Fireman's meeting. The
chairman requested Mr. De Serlsy to
??k Mr. Shea if he would come before
ths meeting ud explain ft few matters !
in connection with the proposed lease
or purchase. Mr. De Serlsy after call
ing on Mr. Shea reported M the meet
ing that the latter said he 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. Hockett, Ashley and
Tanner were appointed and in
structed to wait on Mr. 8hea
and urge him to appear before the
meeting and explain the matter to the
taxpayers from bis point of view. The
committee reported that Mr. Shea an
swered their request by s?ying 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
Serlsy if he would try and get Mr. Mo
Grath to come before the meeting.
Mr. De 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 leaae or purchaae of the
plant of the Northwest Light & Power
Company bv election Mondsy, June 3d,
is premature, and be It further
"Resolved, That this meeting protest
against the holding of the proposed
election for this purpose at that time,
and recommend that said election be
postponed until more information can
be obtained by the taxpayers regarding
the proposed lease or purchase.

ALL WERE PERFECTLY
CURED BY CUTICURA
"My three children had eczema f#r
five months. A little sore would ap
pear on the head and seemed very itchy,
increasing day after day. The bal>y
had had it about a week when the sec
ond boy took the disea.se and a few
sores developed, then the third bov
took it. For the first three months I
took them to the N ? Dispensary, and
they told me that the children-had ring
worm, but they did not seem to im
prove. Then I heard of the Cuticura
Remedies, and I thought I would write
you about ray case, and when I got
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint
ment I bathed the children's heads
with warm. water and Cuticura 8om>
and then applied the Cuticura Oint
ment. In a few weeks they had im
proved, and when their head* were well
you could see nothing of the sores. I
should be very glad to let others know
about the great Cuticura Remedies.
