By their yote the citizens overwheliningly said they wanted the water question settled, they want a muniecipally owned plant and they expect the city commission to settle the ques: | ion. There is no need for any more mandates or authority from the people of the city for the eity commissioners to act Since it had been plainly stated hy members of the ity commission that the money derived trom bond could be used either in the purchase of «the present private-owned | plant or in the building of a new plant, the election does not indicate the choice ofthe voters in this respect. ‘The voters, have, however, put the burden of negotiations and execution squarely on the shoulders of the city commissioners, and will | expect them to do the prudent thing for the city. Nor will | they ask questions of the method, so long as the desired result is accomplished in a business-like way. \ It is well that the bond issue vote was one-sided, vote standing 12! heated debate, questions sales With the 7 to 90, there need be no more elections nor The citizens are almost of one mind COOPERATION NECESSARY Preliminary steps will be taken Mhursday evening reg ister members for the Jnvenile Band. It will be nec ry to have the earnest cooperation of the parents of the eity to put over this enterprise, Other cities of the state have done fine work along this line. Velva and Devils Lake have a tine musical organizations composed of juveniles All children between the ages of ten and eighteen years are eligible to register. There are probably thirty or forty boys | and girls in Bismarek who have instruments. — Eve ‘yone of | these should be present at the Will Sehool next Thursday even- | ing for enrollment, Those who have no instruments but’ who want to join the band should register too so that when the leader arrives they can be given a test and their qualifications | passed upon. Q | Under the auspices of the Association of Commeree it is proposed to place the band upon a sound financial basis, With the school board aiding in the work, the proper auspices are provided so to prevent such failures ds have attended many | band efforts in the past.
