Water Water Water!! The citizens, to the extent of 100, met at the City Hall to deliberate de-liberate on the all important water question. Friday 21st, at 2p.m. Mayor Reynolds was called cal-led to the chair and N.H.Packard N.H.Pack-ard to record the minutes. The Mayor stated that the Council had contemplated the work of fiinishig reservoirs number 1 and 2 and filling them with water also to construct one near the clay beds and fill it, but the Council had been asked, by petition numerously signed, not to expend any more City funds to procure water for outlying lands, consequently the work was at a standstill excepting the City wa3 filling its part of the con-traot con-traot with Mapleton to complete the reservoir up there. i W:K. Johnson said he had taken the aforesaid petition to City attorony, whose opinion was Ttr H h ptt$ i r$, U were Jr ig U V. that the City had no legal right to assess City property to furnish furn-ish water for the outside. Wm Sumsion desired to know if the water from the Mapleton reservoir would come into town, and was informed that it would not. Geo.B.Matson thought everybody every-body should assist' in increasing the water supply and that all the people should be willing to be taxed for water purpo.-es and it was hisopinion that some people used too much water. Fred Cone of Mapleton said, the question under discussion was of such vital importance that something should be done and quickly to conserve the wa-ter,,he wa-ter,,he would be willing to pay $2 per acre as a tax aud even more if necssary. T.L.Mendenhall was informed that there were 7000 acres in the the eight districts to be irriga ted. He thought an acreage tax would be fair and moved that 25 cents per acre be levied for the purpose of conserving the waters. ' R.A.Deal amended by inserting insert-ing $2 and made some spirited remarks in support oHiis amendment, amend-ment, he wanted to test the land owners to see whether they wanted wan-ted any water or not, if they did they must pay for it, we want the water but some of us wanted the other fellow to pay for it. John Binks remarked that he bad an old water right but no water except what had fallen from the heavens, for the last two years. Davis Clark didn't think it just for the old laud claims that had been taxed for years to perfect per-fect their right to the water, to be again taxed equal with the new claims, R L. Bird had an old claim i and the ditches already made, but had no water to put into them, therefore he was in favor of a $2 tax per acre. Bp Ed. Anderson thought we were behind in the matter of water storage. The little town of Cleveland had a reservoir 50 miles away which saved their crops last year. The' dug a feeder to the reservoir last year and the entire expense had been paid in increased crops. He was willing to be taxed for reservoirs. Geo. Mason was of the opinion, opin-ion, before we voted a tax the cost of the work to be done should first he ascertained, and would recommend the appointment appoint-ment of a committee to investigate investi-gate and report. Wm Sumsion did not favor a property tax, his ditches had been maJe for years but could get ho water. The trouble was there had been so much land tak$u n rj 1 nfr) $m J! u 1 h.e wa te t ! divided to such an extent that in this tm of scarcity it couldn't go around. S D Johnson thought the conservation con-servation of the water a question of paternalism one that the City could handle better than anv a other -and was of the opinion that the best way out of the present difficulty was fortl e segregated seg-regated districts to come hack into the City for water purposes Mayor Reynolds expressed himself in favor of reservoirs but was not in sympathy with a property tax for it would b3 wrong to tax city property to water sarms. He suggested a tax of 50 cents an acre. Ether Blanchard wanted reservoirs res-ervoirs tor his crops had failed the last two years for the want of water, but favored lighter taxation. Juo S.Boyer favored storage of water but $2 per acre was too much for he could sink wells and get water cheaper than that; the City could not collect b tax if assessed; if tho irriga tion districts incorporated law suits would result, and he be lieved that all property should be taxed if any. . , J.S.Wing owned both old and new claims and he was willing all his property shoul d be taxed to get more water. Ex-Mayor Johnson was willing to pay a very high tax for water but he desired whatever was done should be by legal means. He argued that the City jcould build the Dry Creek Reservoir and fill it and use it for lands below in exchange for Hobble Creek water, and that it could be done legally. If we don't .do something soon others will appropriate ap-propriate the water. If we will build that reservoir it will pay for itself this year and we ought to do it. Geo. Matson jr thought if the two reservoirs were filled the late flow of the water in the lower low-er springs would be mantained and thus many people benefited. The motion, that those present pres-ent were willing to be taxed $2 an acre for water purposes, carried car-ried by a two thirds majority. Fred. Cone moved that we proceed at once to organize an Irrigation company, including all the districts, in which the Mayor May-or and Council will be among the incorporators, and that they proceed at once to carry out the project.

Geo. made his captures up the Right hand fork of Hobble Hob-ble creek canyon, with traps. There were in the wagon three large mountain lions, or eougars, the largest of which measured 8 feet and 5 inches from tip to tip, they were formidable fellows fel-lows either of which could easily overcome a man.
