to bo In too big a hurry to buy "tho
slto" tho city commission boltovcd
that thero was but ono thing wo could
do at this time nrnl thnt umn t 1
Mr b'nylcs land and build the lake
thoroon. With this In mind wo did
as Mr. Saylos statos In his article buy
tho "Smnllwood" tract of about 400
acres paying therefor $4000 In cash.
This lnnd lloa partly within tho 11m
Its of tho "upper" reservoir slto and
tho commission bought It bocauso thoy
wore absolutely cortaln It would bo
hooded and their hurry to buy It was
caused from tho fact that thoy feared
SOMEBODY WOULD HEAT THKM!
TO IT AiND ItAISB TUB PIUCE.
Sluco tho "lower" slto has beon soloc-
tcd tho city has absolutely no uso for
this 400 acres of land and It Is for
sale and I tako tho llborty of saying
for loss than It coat us for It Isnt
worth tho price for any purposo other
than tho building of a resorvolr But
tho prlco wo paid for it was less than
wo would havo had to pay for any of
tho other landB needed up thoro
But tho price of tho land had noth-
ing whatever to do with tho commission-
Bolocting-tho "Jotter" slto but It
waa solocted BECAUSE) IT "WAS THR
ONLY SENSIBLE THING TO DO.
Had tho city commission selected the
"upper" alto after having before thorn
tha roport of tho englneors on nil
THREE sites the wholo hunch of us
should havo beon romoved for mal
feasance In office and then TARRED
'AND FEATHERED. AND RUN OUT
qF Tjfj COUNTRY.
So . r know tho rnmmlBsrnn
ua8 ayari boon frlondly to Mr. Say-
l03 mdirWually. I know I have and
8tlll am but public officials should

shown Its determination to stand by
U1I1 principle
Let us mala a fow comparisons. A
careful survey of tho cost of tho lands
at the "uoper" site Shows that tho
lands of Mr. Sayles woutd have cost
us J3G.000 in addition to some val
uable rights reserved by him Lands
of other parties essential to tho mat.
tor JIO.00'1 or In round numbors
FORTY-SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS.
All necessary lands at tb "lower
arte Including 320 acres purchased
from G. I. Miller not necessary $84-
000. Add to this the $4000 paid for
the Smallwood land In the "uppor"
site which tho City still owns and
which It may bo able to Bell and we
have a difference of EIGHT THOUS-
AND DOLLARS in favor of the "low-
er" slto By Belectlng tho "lower"
Bite we saved UPWARDS of THIRTY-
prvn THOUSAND DOLLARS In nine
jme ye increased tho drainage
nn fifty-two r o II A n R
MILES or lmost DOUBLE what it 13
or would havo been at the "upper
3ito w0 increased tho MAXIMUM
pupply of the "upper" site THREE to
FIVE fold. In other words tho maxl
mum supply of the "upper" site was
placed at betwoen three and one half
billions to fivo billion gallons and
that at tho "lower" slto Is FIFTEEN
billion gallons. The minimum supply
of the "lower' site being FIVE BIL-
LION GALLONS. It is estimated that
we will save upwards of FIVE THOU-
SAND DOLLARS n letting the- con-
tract for the construction of the dam
at the "lower" site by reason of Its
accessibility to the railroad and also
by reason of the condition of the dirt
road leading to tbe respective sites.
Tho "lower" slto is easily accessible
to all our citizenship being only fivo
or six miles from Buffalo Gap and on
splendid roads and tho beauty and
adaptability of tbe surroundings at
the "lower" site for recreation pur-
poses so far surpass those of the "up-
per" site that there could be no com
I parison between there
Above all w&en ibis project ts completed-
and it will be done just as
fast' as the Commission can have it
done Abilene will have tho bet wat-
er supply In all the land abundant for
a city of fifty to seventy-fiv thou-
sand inhabitants (and not to use any
of the water for irrigation) twice that
number and tq irrigate vast areas of
