WATER SYSTEM CAN

They are progressive and yet con
servative enough to handle the towns
affairs Safely. They have shown a
willingness to respond to the wishes
of the people of the town, accord
ing to the way in which they in
terprete the p'ublic pulse.
ought to be clear to any ob
server that there exists two distin
ct opinions, one holding the Board
back, the other urgng them to ?o
forward. This is what makes official
life burdensome and in fact dis
agreeable.
But this state of affairs is always
to be found wherever an effort is
made to accomplish worth while
things. Other people in other towns
have like conditions to face. Dem
ccraay has its troubles but little less
than autocracy.
The Water System.
Our water system must be put
cn a paying basis. When we say
Mud we mean that very thing. The
must however, does not mean be
cause we said so. No, not that at all
It ipust be done to escape aburden
some taxation.
There is not a man-in the town
cf Leaksvile who can figure out and
show how the system can be made
to pay on the basis of present
plant We challenge \any one to
come forward with the figures.
Listen, The Gazette was the first
to advocate the water system. We
wanted the town to go into the wat
business on a business basis. We
said time and again that it would
be an injustice to tax property for
installation and maintenance. Water
is a permanent necessity, There is
no substitute for water. Water will
be needed while life survives. And
thisre is n0 new method for the
distribution of water. Once the sys
tem is properly installed the cost
i f distribution is almost a cipher. *
Its A Buaine* Proposition
A publicly owned water system
should have all the opportunities
' or service that a private enterprise
has and much more.
Why then, should our water sys
tem be hemmed in and prevented
from rendering service, when that
rervice will net a profit and contri
bute to the liquidation of installa
tion costs and upkeep. Imagine a
man investing $200,000 in a retail
business and limiting himself to
thousand others are bagging to be
come his patrons. That then, is the
lcdieulos situation confronting th
owners of the New Water System.
Who could have thought such ?
condition would arise. We nevu
would have advocated a water sys
tern under such a handicap. On!’
half-horse sense would have shown
us that such foolishness would b
suicidal and could only be kept i’
operation by a direct tax and almo3'
prohibitive water rates.
There « A Way Out.
There is only one way to make
the system pay. That is, more water
patrons. How are we to get them?
Make them come to us, or send the
water to them. Leaksville can’t live
on water alone, nor can she prosper
on ai^narrow policy. An additional
cell only 1,606 patrons, while three
investment of ten or fifteen thou
sand dollars will make an unproflt
able investment a profitable invest
ment.
There are 200 or 800 prospective
water users in the Boulevard sec
tion. They are npt in the town but
they ate our people and want and
need the water. They are only about
three blocks outside. Five men* in
Leaksville are to blame for tills sec
tion not being Inside today.# But
they do not have to be inside to get
the use and benefit of odf fmter
system. We can sell them afl the
water they * want at a profit. What
more could we ask for?
The town Board should ignore
the five men who would bring fail
Wfeole system, follow
tax’ upon .pro
force people to get outside of the (
town to escape town tax, all due to
a penny wise and pound foolish con
trivance.' / 1
The Board should direct their en
gineer to go'to the Boulevard sec
tion and make a survey, and an es-'
timate of the cost of extending
water and sewer mains, etc., etc., '
4
along with the number of water pa
trons available on the proposed .ex
tension, the possible outlay as well
as the annual income.
Then let his figures be published
so that taxpayers will have the act.-. '
and be able to act intelligently. We
feel confident if this is done the
extension will be made and the
whole town escape financial difficul
ties.
We are perfectly" willing to take !
the judgement of the Towns own'
engineer in these matters. And be- j ;
cause of this, we declare the public j
should have the benefit of the en- i
gineers judgement. We declare that j
300 water patrons cannot meet the ,
cost of upkeep and interest on water
bonds. If we are wrong let the en
gineer say so. If our plans to get
200 more patrons will co:t over
$15,000, let him say so.Agajn, let
him tell Us if by adding additional
$15,000, the investment would not
be about out of danger of runnkv- ,
behind.
All extensions should be ma ->
by the town and no private enta >
glement entered into. Private b i i
gains envolving a public franchir * I
Is a risky undertaking. Nothin:;,
would d0 the town more good tha • j
to make this extension.
The town of Leaksville must no:
be given a black eye because of the
five men who have stood in the way
of a -closer and more harmonious b
siness relations. Why should Leak'
ville business men labor under such
a handicap.
This appeal is made in behalf of
Leaksville. If it is heeded, Leak:
ville is the gainer.. If it is not heed
ed. get ready to pay an snormo';^
water rate and meet an annual d -
iclt every year for ten years by a
lirect tax.
If Gazettt readers want the fact'
and we are aura they do, then ask
the town Board to have the Engin
eer furnish figures on the proposal
uggested. Unless -you discuss the
matter with the Board there will b?
mthlng done. Facts are what yo.i
want and facts -are all we ask foe.
Let us invite prosperity instead of
taxing it beyond reason and give
every business man ifb town tha good
will of the entire community. We
want more co-operation and less sec
tionalism, peace instead of war.
