Mission Garden convention backs city water works ownership
At a last Saturday meeting in Mission Garden about fifty attendees chose Oscar Bergstrom as chairman and C. Runge as secretary. Candidates L. Grothaus and W. McAllister spoke on water works with McAllister supporting city ownership and Grothaus hedging on exiting the current contract. McAllister won 32 to 18, a sewer resolution was defeated as premature until rates from the Water Works company are known, and residents urged the next ward alderman to avoid doubt on the issue.
