As I quote from Mayor I.und-strom- s article of Sept 17 the total tares which we will receive this year to Logan City for nil purposes will not exceed $90,-000. Some of the obligations which Logan city has to meet Dec- 31 this year are as follows: Tax anticipation note . $95,000 4 750 Interest on Same . .

Six years ago, Mr. Lundstrom stepped out against the judgment of a very large part of the business fraternity of this city maintaining against their judgment that it was tire part of wisdom to retain our electric light plant, and that the time would come in the near future if the enterprise was properly managed, when it would be a saver real asset to Logan and to all electric users.

Bowman. g, MUST COMPLETE HW JOB petition seeking action by the city commission on a water matter was presented by A. M Clayton, president, in behalf of the Southwest Field Irrigation company at city commission meeting Tuesday night. The Logan island sewer system, the petitioners allege has for several years been draining much of the water from the Little Logan river which they claim title to for irrigation purposes. The sewer line was constructed in 1923. Within the last year, according to Mr. Clayton, members of the irrigation company suffered damages estimated in their petition at $5000 from lack of water due to the drainage. Since the sewer system was constructed, the Logan Cow Pasture association, the petitioners allege, has been using the outfall water from the sewer for irrigation purposes, therethe Southwest by depriving field waterusers from the waters to which they are entitled. The city commissioners are asked to take steps to restore to the petitioning company the water claimed lost hrough sewer drainage. Mayor Lundstrom proposed to take the matter up with City Attorney Leon and inform the water-useat a later date of the commissioners" action.
