meeting to discuss the advis ad visibility ability of f purchasing the hooek city and the oquirrh water systems which are practically one and it was better than thair a comedy drar drama a enacted by a troupe of hayseeds Hay seeds to hear the expressions that came from the lips of some of those guardians of the other follows interests it was really to tb heat hear how anxious some of I 1 17 ii were to protect tl te e people of tooele but ay a glass eye eve to detect ate lione bone of contention was fr v A vy 1 si iso for tt ohp deop people or 0 we vc aco emm eman archiere Archi eBe van 0 0 otis alex c Il bevan Lavant I 1 aychie chic bevan who nas lias made a tho ugh investigation has been uncompromisingly in favor ov of the sing t of the plant and would riot not point to the pessimistic views of sonic some who feared that their immense amount of wealth might be calle dupon to contribute somewhat some what to the public benefit in the way of taxes ile he met every objection wilu good sound argument mr otis olis became very dramatic in his argument but held alpin up dinits its thie ue light the actual condition while jl alex bevan pointed out clearly the fact that whoever play ed cd the people had to dance to their music and pay for it also ile he showed that the oquirrh water tom gom pany if they still kept the plant did not mean to lote lose money and all the money they made would ome came out of the people so the peo pie had justas well put their water tax money into info their the irown lown pockets ris into the someone else even tho the purchase price might be by somo considered high about which there was a question W 8 marks tho the ho he had been op posed to the purchase after making an investigation voted and spoke for it prominent among those thosa who were ere afraid of some things not the water ater sy system steril so much as some other conditions were Counci councilman lalan davis who has cons consider ideres cp the price too high a i mr nelson who is said to ho he in ill this st istance as in the one a few years ago tho the tool of some body elc whose purpose lie chose to serve rather than those of the people ile he had a number of questions eions toasa about points of law of which he seemed to he be much afraid that they would allow the people tu to own thai water system ile he also scorned to think that the risk was SO reat tho nor of the matter is that it was waa giving the tha people too much power allowing them to own that which spine soui eone elge effle canted tn own and peter clegg who was afraid that jhb malte would stop be cause there was a bugaboo bug a boo in the form of a story afloat that the smelter was about to change hands and it might shut down and al all i these extra people who have daubl pd ad the numbers of toselo of old would leave and the responsibility of paying for this plant would fall upon the few who had lived in such peace and quiet before all this stir coic come into our midst now just imagine if yon yen cana can a smelter closing town down just to make tho the people of old too foo clef cle buy the water system but there to te bo be another darkey poking his big eyes and red lips thru the cracks in the fence this darkey looks something like a bank in which about of city money is at the present time lying all that has not been let out at a good rectal of probably 1270 12 all of which nobody objects to and nobody desires to deprive this bank so long as the people do not need the funds but if the purchase of the water system goes thru it will call for out of this bank on oil which the bank is not pay in ing on one cent of interest this illis is ac c cording to law the cites money under our present laws cannot he be placed at interest but this aliis and other motives apparently of a selfish 11 nature looking to that co condition 1 i which a financier always considers first self before th the 0 public with the public and after the public brought fourth some which brought baroug it t prof richard II 11 lyman avaiu to his hi 3 foot feat itel la MS 11 as 5 0 0 ai had aa n idest that the city could put in a system much cheaper than buying this one had succeeded in getting a communication to mr Ly who he had made his investigation and found according to his report that the worn out ont rotten etem that the people were buying bryin bu yin first class condition and would last from thirty to forty years yet and inthis in this same report lie ile gave estimates that totaled the plant up to but lie he had not mentioned the on engineering 0 which on the lesser of these two plants had cost upwards of ile he had no estimate on rights right of way none on the value of the dela I 1 marc grove winch which alone alo nc is worth none hii the winter flow of water which lias has been grant n ed to the oquirrh co and none on oil in a dozen other items which might be mentioned but there basone was one thing 0 remarkable and to some very noticeable noti cable in mr lyman and that was that at the outset of the meet ing in introducing himself and his hh report lie ho stated that tho the system should bo be owned by the people at any cost and how later on after the bank funds champion had made I 1 his objection on the ground that the smelter might close down sir mr lymon called to mind that lie he had at one time been a schoolmate of this man who was fighting tho the I 1 people and how lie ho rc remembered m amb erad ithac that this man had always had his algebra correct and had seemed to i be a pretty shrewd follow fellow nearly always standing on tho the side 0 oc right light I 1 but mr lynia lyman n either know or remember that a few years ago 0 thi 3 i same man mail had fought this samo same fight with the same saino flunkies flun kies and had experienced a rise in price to four times that it was then in spite of this lie advised that the people could t f eel safe in ill waiting four years to seo see whether the smelter do clo eed dawn or not and carried or tried to carry the idea that the plant would bo a no higher but probably lower then than now I 1 As aa tho MI an enterprise of this magni dein tu rudein the most p prosperous thriving and rapidly growing cit city y in i in the state wit with h mines being opened upon up on ei every y hand almos within the cites lin limits lits would depreciator in value oil oh Consist ancyl thou art li jewel ii and let us mention again again to th alio pessimist that it is just as imla sible for tho the city of tooele to put v et in a water system in as it is ia to stop a desire for water A j in ili the first ethe otho water cal carp not lot be had then the city cannot bond for the amount of money ia to I 1 put pub the system in it if it h had tho the wil wa wai i to tor r where the pre present

he lid did in jhc thc case of ti tho 0 city council meeting a sho short rt time ago lets everything go I 1 thru then af afterwards discovers that the city cannot bond for th the money this word is then taken to tha iho mayor who bytheway by the way is is in favor of the people owning the sy system teni but desires to work safely i and ho he calls thru the city clerk y phone a special or
