M Sinllhtleld has a city water supply M under way and that is a good sized M load for any small city to carry. Rut still llieic is another sourco of com- jH fort lacking and that Is a street M sprinkler. Tho dust question is an M ever picsent one during the dry sum- M mer months, and on two or our streets H cspcclally,thoso two tho most traveled, H the dust Is something frightful. M Tho city council has been ques- H Honed on the subject and all the n.em- M bcrs agree that a sprinkler Is a ncces- H slty, both from the standpoint or com- H fort and the moro Important one of H health. Tho business men have all jH agreed on tho prime necessity or rid- H ding main sheet at least or the dust M jiulsance by means of the free appll- H cation or water thru a spsinklor. M Those already approached, residents H on Main and Station sheets, aic will- M lug to bo assessed a fair amount to M pay for the comfort or dustlcss strecls. jH Now for tho proposition. If the city jH council will supply tho sprinkler and H sutllcient water, these cltl.ens and H taxpayers residing on Main and Sta- IH lion sheets will agree to an assess- jjl ment per capita of a sutllcient amount M monthly to maintain tho sprinkler. M Tho cost of a man and a team will be H between fifty and soventy-tivo dollars M monthly, or about two dollars a day. H If the residents on the above named H streets agree to the above, let them H show their interest and agiecmcnt by H giving their opinion on this live ques- H Hon to their City Councilmen. H The city water system at present H demands their full attention but If H piopcily approached, It is possible H they may see their way clear to act on H this street spi Inkier question favor- H ably.
