year we pay In taxes twelve hundred
dollars towards the suppoit of our
waterworks system we know that
that amount represents the dillereiice
between what oiu Income is and what
out expenditures are
If we have the
i
springs we will not. need to pay the
twelve bundled dedlolonoy because
our c nl bill will not be so large mid
we will have a quality of water that
will attract our customers and tbev
will lie only too glad to use tnoro of it.
We would rather pay three hundred
dollars any time than twelve bundled
dollars. The rail road pays the clly
about llftcen hundred dollars per year
for water. With the springs attached
to our water system the rail road
would in live years pay tho'-o bonds
and pay for water which will not cost
us one cent, for pumping. Wo all want
to i educe our taxes. We have the op
portunity now to do so. Another
thing ir wo adopt this springs proposi
tion we will have no further excuse
for digging In Hie bottoms and will
hence mivo something like a thousand

Spring or Creek Waler
That is the issue to lie decided at t lie
next election. There is no other plan
of increasing the water supply befoio
the people Two thirds of tlio people
of the city aro divided between the
Condra proposition, of taking the
water directly from tho crock, using
all precautions to keep it as clean and
aweet as may be, and the spring pro
position. Those two thirds are unalt
erably opposed to any other plan, and
will permit no more money to bo wast
ed on other plans. There has been
too much wasted already. Wo havo
no confidence in our local water
wlzaids, in our local water expeits.
Tho majority know that they have no
more knowledge on the subject than
merest ot us. We all know that
there is abundance ol water in the
creek. We all know that theic is
abundance of water in (lie springs at
the head or tlie etock. We all know
that tliele is not a blessed son of us,
no mutter what his name be called,
who knows anything for certain in
addition to this. Every supply out
side of these two is conjectural, doubt
ful, uncertain. We are tired of see
ing tlio city money wasted on 'vision
Hi'.V projects. The creek water is
drinkable most or the time. It can be
kept reasonably clear most of the
time. We have got along with it
pretty well so far. Tho littlo bit of
water that Hows, through tho tiles lias
never been enough to take into con
sideration. Wo have been lied tofoiig
enough. If there Is a man in town
who thinks tho pump has ever failed
to pump creek water for the last ten
or lliteen years, it is time for him to
be undeceived. Creek water bus con
stituted the chief supply of our mains
for many years. I n less wo pipe the
spring water down it will constitute
our supply for tlio years to conic.

Charles H. Hale, Ksq.:
Dear Sir I understand the matter
of additional water supply is up at
the coming election, and 1 am anx
ious to know what the result is likelj
to be.
Our tests of the .Maurcr springs
water show such an improvement over
all the other wateis tested at lied
Cloud, for boiler purposes, that it i.s
exticmcly tlesiiable, at least for rail
road use, to get that water if possible.
It seems that water from the present
wells tested out no better than that
from some recent test wells niii.lt; by
thoC 13. A: ( Those were in connec
tion witli an estimate for furnishing
an additional supply us the icsiilt ot
last summer's notice to the company
that thcieis a shortiiLV of water in
the summer. Yuius truly,
F .1. Haimiow.
Thc above letter ought to quiet all
talk about the inilioad making prep,
aiatious to iiso its own system ol
water supply. This is another argu
ment for the springs. Our largest
customer is anxious to have water that
will bo pure water that will not
cause them trouble w itli their engines.
