The politicians who are trying to
make the people believe the city
waterworks piant is no good should
be rebuked. Head what Writer
Commissioner Brooks has to say.
Brooks gives the facts. There has
never been a single straw to indi-
cate that the water supply is dimin-
ishing. On the other hand the wells
are better today than they were two
yars ago. All that is needed is
more wells, and these can easily be
had.
City Engineer Kickard has ten
men on his staff, and no one ap-
pears to think he has too many. The
highest number the city ever al-
lowed Mr. Sexton was five and his
usual force was three or four. The
Eagle believes Mr. Rickard is all
right and needs the men. Hut what
becomes of the criticisms of Sexton?
It took five men to replace him in
office. The city is actually paying
salaries to five more men than when
Sexton was city engineer. In ap-
pointing Mr. Kickard. Jiayor Mc-
Kenzie said, "This is the age of the
young man," intimating that Mr. j
Sexton was too old to be efficient.
