Show Clever Management. The Peacock spring at Nine-mile is no longer the property of Mrs Peacock, Gunnison city having secured se-cured her one-half iuterest and a 40-acre 40-acre tract of land adjoining. The Highland Canal company holds the other half and it was this portion that at first the city was depending upon for the water-works-" supply, through an exchange of Gunnison Irrigation company stock. The city is thus permanently secured for water supply to the waterworks water-works system and it has all been brought about by shrewd management manage-ment on the part of Mayor Knighton and the city council. We cannot commend these gentlemen too highly for the iuterest they have taken in guarding the public welfare iD this respect. |
