VOLUME XI XN ' INTERESTING MASS MEETING The mass meeting called to meet at Kaysv.lle opera house last Mon-- a night, for the purpose of discuss-th- e proposition to install water meters and construn--a larger tank ouse, was well attended, nearly 100 water users out of a possible 162 being present. The meeting was called to order by Mayor John G. M. Barnes, who briefly stated the object of the meeting and cahed on Councilman John G. Linford, chairman of the water works committee, to state the conditions now existing relative to the water system and make his recommendations. Councilman Linford explained that he had been in charge of the system for more than two years, and that he had come to the conclusion that the plan of water distribution in vogue in the city was unfair, and recommended the use of water meters to adjust the conditions. He explained that under the present system it was sometimes imcossible to keep sufficient water in the city mains, although at times more than 160 gallons per minute was turned into the mains. There were many reasons why the pressure could not be maintained, among which he mentioned leaky hydrants, sprinkling out o? hours and letting water, run to 1 r e 'waste. NUMBER 31 KAYSVILLE, LAYTON AND FARMINGTON, UTAH, THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1916 At the present time there was a flat rate for the use of the water, no matter how much or how little the customer used, but by the use of meters the customer would pay for the amount of water used. He did not believe that he should be allowed to have water for a big lawn, many head of stock and for his large family, at the same rate charged his neighbor who had no lawn or stock, and a small family. The water works belonged to the people and the management of the system was their business, anjl the speaker wanted them to express their opinions on the matter. He told them plainly that the lack of pressure was mainly the fault of those who used water out of hours and allowed water to run to waste both day and night. He said that he did not propose to constitute himself a detective or an. informant against those taking water contrarv to the rules and regulations governing the water system, and that he saw no way to avoid the abuses or remedy existing conditions other than by the installation of meters. Lambert Blamires spoke, favoring the installation of meters and a special tax, if necessary, for .the establishment of a sinking fund to meet the iayment of the water bonds when they became due. IlerbertJj. "Barnes expresed himself g that there was a plentiful water supply if sufficient storage was provided. He advocated taking care of the water the city now owned and presented figures to pro fre that the supply was more than 'temple. George W. Barnes spoke in favor of the meter system and gave his experience for the past nine monthsjiinee helad caused a meter to be installed, lie stated that his consumption of water since installing his meter was a little less than 100 gallons per day aiid set forth that he had a good sized nouse and a large lawn- - and a large flower garden. He was satisfied that n.uth water was being wasted, and endorsed the position of Councilman Linford for the installation of meN ' ters. Walter Stewart favored meters and increased storage, but made it plain that he did not favor the expenditure of money for storage of additional water for the benefit of those who use water out of hours and allow- it to run to waste. - sprinkling lawns. At times he had to sprinkle at the found specified time and did not like to violate the rules and regulations or miss sprinkling. Bruce Major favored meters if every water user paid for the amount of water used. He did not favor a high minimum for the reason that many users would not use the minimum, and in that event the small user would not get a fair deal. John R. Barnes spoke in favor of meters, and after stating his reasons, moved that the city council have the meters installed and provide additional storage for water. The motion was amended by George W. Barnes that a filtration plant be also installed. The amendment was aeepted by the mover of the motion. On request of H. C. Burton, the motion was dlveded, that the question of meters and storage might be voted Henry H. Blood, speaking to the Councilman W. P.

Thomas Bone favored meters and He believed in the justice of a rate, told of water shortage at his place based on the number of rooms in a when sprinkling was on in the lower house and the uses to which the water part of the city. was put. Mrs. Kinnett spoke in favor of meters, but did not aeem t clearly understand that a minimum rate would be charged after meters were installed.

In designing this new Oakland. Six, Model 32, our engineers have met the demand for a car devoid of every bit of excess weight which added nothing to the endurance of the car or the riding comfort of the passengers. - They produced, in Model 32, a motor car with every advantageous mechanical and engineering feature found on high priced cars. And so well did they plan that the result is a new Oakland Sue at $795 the first real, d car to sell at less than $1000. Model 32 possesses allt of the essentials' of the most exacting motor car service. There is power beyond all need. The car is roomy, with wide seats and plenty of leg room. Long, resilient springs and deep upholstery insure perfect riding comfort on any road. . with Oakland engineers is the largest and most complete motor car manufacturing organization in the world an organization capable of giving the most complete expression to Oakland principles of design and refinements of construction ; and with a buying power that makes sure a minimum cost of materials. Due to this same organization there is a unity of pur-powhich guarantees that into every Oakland motor car there is an quality which makes the manufacturer proud to have built the car, and the user proud to own it. The working together of these forces, the striving of many men and minds toward the accomplishment of a single purpose, finds expression in a. New Oakland Six. A study of the specifications, while convincing to the .trained motorist, is not sufficient to impart even an approximate idea of the true worth and beauty of the new Oakland Six. It can be properly judged and appreciated only by looking at it, or riding in it, and by learning of its record under conditions of actual service. A glance at its beautiful lines and a close view of its sturdy construction will convince the prospective mptorist that in this car are combined all the elements that insure the utmost in motoring pleasure at a surprisingly low cost.
