Several residents present said that they were asked to sign the petitions now being circulated calling for an additional election on the water program on the basis of "don't you think the people have a right to vote on an amount of money as big as $700,000." Trattler also reported that it was consensus of those present that many people who in good faith signed petitions circulated Rodger Elble and Lavier Humphrey calling for an election on the $700,000 water revenue bond issue portion of the program will. be angry when they realize they have been tricked into having to vote twice for the same water program."

Elble in his statement, saVs that "there are at least four errors in the water rate schedule on page 3 of a leaflet mailed to the local citizenry recently by the City Council. "The Wood River City Council, in their prepared leaflet, states that citizens of Wood River now pay quarterly $2.50 for 6,000 gallons of water, $2.50 for 10,000 gallons of water, $3.50 for 14,000 gallons and $5 for 20,000 gallons.

"These figures quoted.by the City Council are Incorrect. "Wood River water users within the city now pay quarterly $2.25 for a minimum of 10,000 gallons, plus 20 cents for each additional 1,000 gallons. "Therefore Wood River water users pay quarterly $3.05 for 14,000 gallons of water and $4.25 quarterly for 20,000 gallons of water. "The City Council's figures are approximately 10 per cent Incorrect," Elble's statement says.
