The meeting was called for the purpose of hearing a discussion of the plan for installing a water works plant at this place.. “The matter was put to the council in full detail as to the plan of instalment. approximate cost and the method of securing the needed funds. It was shown that it would not place ( any burden upon the taxpayers. I “The plan as outlined is to organ- ’ ize a corporation with $30,000 capital. $20,000 of which is to be preferred • lock and SIO,OOO common stock. The . preferred stock is to be sold at par to local citizens and same to draw 6 pet cent, interest, while the common stock is to be taken by the town ot Markle and to bear no interest." The town of Markle has had several disastrous fires, and a few years ago the entire business section on the south side of the main street was burned to the ground.
