' "We, the undersigned residents of
Belmont and Duncan addition, ask
to have an Injunction filed on the
City of Alliance to prevent them from
levying taxes on us, as we do not
belong to the city, having been taken
in unconstitutionally, costs of such
action to be paid Jointly by us."
Mr. Weaver explained ttiat forty
five of those who signed the petition
were taxpayers, and " this petltlou
would be presented to the county
commissioners unless the council
came through with a promise t sup
ply water to that part of Alliance.
He said he was i there to give the
council "one more chance" to do the
right thing. .
Mr. Weaver's remarks didn't make
much of a hit with the council. There
was a short silence, broken by Coun
cilman Harris, who said: "Well, if
they were taken In unconstitutional
ly, we couldn't keep I hem, even If
we give them water." Another coun
cilman pointed out that the petition,
being addressed to the county com
missioners, couldn't be considered by
the council. Altogether, things didn't
look well for Mr. Weaver's petition.
Soothed Hy Stayer Rodger
Mayor Rodgers, however, poured
oil on the waters before the waves
became threatening. He explained
that the council didn't care to buy
the good opinion of the east siders.
And then he proceeded to tell them
that they weren't so badly used. They
had been taken Into the city only a
little over a year ago. There are
parte of Alliance, the mayor said
which have been wltti the city lim
its and still do not have water or
lights. The council, he said, was in
favor of giving them water, but there
weren't sufficient funds available to
-ilrr.d the system clear to the north
edge of the city. It became a ques
tion, then, of Just where to draw the
line. '
Mr. Rodgers said that he had rec
ommended to the council that the
water mains be extended two blocks
on Missouri, Mississippi and Yellow
stone. One of these blocks is a long
one, containing eighteen lots. He
thought this extension would take
care of the large proportion of the
signers of the petition.
Sopieone brought up the fact that
water had been furnished to the new
community houses, and the mayor
defended this action by saying that
all east end residence lots had - ad
vanced In 'Value because the new
buildlnrs were erected In that neigh
borhood. He thought they had gain
ed as ranch as they had lost. Mr.
Weaver then gave it as his oplnln
that If water had been put in his
part of town there would have bern
three times the amount of buildings
erected.
W1U Cost ,OO0
It has been estimated that the pro
posed extension, only six blocks, will
cost the city in the neighborhood of
six thousand dollars. Plumbers who
were present reported that It was im
possible to secure delivery of pipe
for mains in less than sixty days.
Several east siders who were pres
end discussed the matter freely, and
argued it out as to who would get
water and who wouldn't, and ex
pressed themselves as satisfied For
the time being, the city Is safe. There
will be no withdrawal for the time
being. Deputy Sheriff Mlsklmmen
said that he had better water on his
place than the city could furnish him
and that having got his lights, be
was satisfied. He wanted to know,
however, whether the east side would
be next on the list, or whether some
other addition would be favored over
them. He was assured that there
would be no double-crossing.
