Due to illness, Mayor Goetz w i absent at the meeting. In his stead Clerk Felix Gray stated the purpose of the gathering, giving the history of the developments which have led up to the present status of the matter. About two years ago, he said, practically the whole town was out of water in the win- | ter time, public clamor urged the| Council to do something. Federal | aid at that time was being extend- ed in similar extremities, on a basis of 30 percent grant against a 70 percent loan. By petition thén al- most a 100 percent approval of the proposition by the people was indi- cated. This approval was later made more definite when during the regu- lar city election about 75 percent of ‘the,voters ratified the proposition to borid the city for needed public works improvements. | Due' to new developments since that time the proposition has reach- | ed logical conclusion and on an & Bult.h ruwt 12 Lm 1&.

Altogether - the .totalin= | debtedness would be taken care of in from 15 to 20 years, although the town: can have 30 years to pay f: desired. To further enhance the mmom advantages to the city of the new sewerage and water systems, an annual expenditure of around $1,000 now being made for repairs to the salt water system and old sewers will be saved to the tax-payers. Tt was bronght out that in no event could’ property owneérs be ‘taxsas- sessed to pay back the indebted- ness; that only to revenues from the system itself or from other business earnings of the town would the government look for repayment. The soundness of the proposition could not be better explained, Mr. Beers reiterated, than that the gov~ ernment authorities themselves considered the proposition so fav< orably. Bencfit to Town that besides a new water system, to be municipally owned, fram which in years to come there will be reve- nue to help carry on the business of the town that may then permit reduction in taxes and a new. up-to- date sewerage system which will take the yoke of considerable year- ly expenditures on an old system practically gone, from around the necks of present tax-payers, all ap- proximately at half cost, as the main advantages to Douglas.

Mr. Stratton, who heads the firm of Stratton 'and Beers, said that the money to be expended on the projects would make the town a better, happier and more healthful place to live in. The improvements are badly needed, he said and no' waste was to be involved in the plans In extending the sewerage| system at present where if negded later they could be more advan- tageously taken care of.
