but it ins been demonstrated that they ira to do it 1 his council should take hold of this q and uke some achion lit once heretofore it has always ben tl e case that when a proposition of any tude or of my lin ort nice lias ciare before alie council tt 1 as taken it abo it six months to coi sider it ind ali n no action Is tor the next three or to ir moi tl s and it then comes so election time that tt e question is laid over to await tt e action of the i ew council my suggestion is this blut tt Is writer question bo aiken hold of at once I 1 have been f lulling the mitter up i little and tl ink it possible for tl e city to get a lease on tl e aall 41 e M ater for a term of years if we do this we MI soon put in a system stat last a number of ears lo 10 i all ind know in whit condition we were a year ago tl ere being noil li g in our ordan ances to c mi el tie old to do any thing and tl e city was completa comp lety at its mercy any and all improvements ali it we get comet from tl e city ai d tl e city i lys for tl em while tl e water comi iny is furnishing water to tie city aid its citizens which the city is labing fir now I 1 wish tl e council would take n on tah most Import ai t question right aw a e can never 1 lie decent streets until the water system is in good condition the poor repair of the homes etc keeps alic torn up most 0 the time tl ere is no krotec tion in case of lire and there is no city in the territory nor in any comnos anity that is so completely at tl e mucy ot a water company as is 0 ir own alty chere is g in the ordinances tl at prohibits the company from f inal ing any kind of water it anny be ible or see fit to 8 apply 1 want to call your itten lion to in other thin ind tint is our streets I 1 think the time has comeal en we ought to take some action looking to better thoroughfares 1 here never was a time of tie city when tl ere was as much tro ible with our streets and the keeping ot them in good condi tion 13 tl ere is at tl e presed t time when with tl e amount of triflis over main street there now if tl ey be in the test condition and kept so 1 believe it is almost impossible to keep our streets in passable condition with the number of t eavy wagons and ore beims going ver them every day and I 1 would suggest thit we either put in i rock street b irk of main street and in that the heavy beims use it or that we request the owners of the beims to each keep a min at work on tl e streets all the time e t in this way keep tl e in i condition that it would be for a light rig to drive over them I 1 think the ore contractors would favorably consides a proposition of this kind I 1 know one thing how ever and that is eliat the city en not afford to keep men it work on tl e streets all the time to rei lir tl e dam age done by the heavy teams and think in justice to all that the ore contractors should take hold and help in this mit ter t any rite some decisive step should be t iken in this direction it once the arst
