HIES ABOUT TO SYSTEM Coos Bay Man Expresses His Views of the Situation Here. Editor Times: Tho nrtlclo In Tho Times of recent dnto concerning tho water system and ltu future development was a timely ono and It behooves tho citizens and tho authorities to profit by the exper ience of other cities In Oregon and not to neglect this vital adjunct to a growing municipality. An ndequnto supply of puro water for all purposes. Tho present supply mny bo enough for present purposes, but tho "wlso man makes provision for futuro con tingencies," so nlso should n young and growing community. Numerous cases can bo cited among Oregon towns whoro this im portant factor has been neglected un til it was almost too lato, and tho community was compelled to pay a fancy prlco for water rights which could havo been secured for llttlo or nothing a fow yoars boforo. Portland, oven, wns compolled to pay an oxtravagant prlco for tho Bull Run Blto after trying In ovory way to uso tho Wlllamotto rlvor water. Eugono Is up against tho sanio prob lom now. Rolling nnd filtering mako tho fluid chomlcnlly puro, but noth ing can tako tho placo of tho water drawn from tho eternal springs gush ing from tho proclpltous sides of tho mountain ranges. Modford, another growing Oregon city, whon at about tho sarao stngo of growth that Marsh flold now Is, thought "thoro was no hurry" about cxtondlng tho, at that tlmo existing, systom, or of acquiring wntor rights for futuro use. Whon a year or two later tho town com menced to grow, tho citizens sudden ly woko up to tho fact that modorn soworngo muBt roplnco tho cesspool system and that wator drawn from wells In a congested community wns not tho sanio as tho "nectar that Ju piter sips." Tho community also found that wator rights covering tho necessary quantity of wator to provldo for fu turo uso for a booming city wero senrco and high priced. As a conso quenco tho Modford wntor system has cost mnny thousands of dollars moro than It would havo cost If tho water had been taken when It could havo been had for tho nsklng-practlcally, to say nothing of tho lives sacrificed through tho provnlonco of typhoid for sovernl months nnd tho loss of deslrnhlo citizens, who camo to In vost, hut refused to do so, whon thoy learned of unsettled conditions In tho mnttor of tho wator supply. Marshflold Is In practically tho samo condition ns wns Modford. Tho prosont supply Is apparently ndo quato for present needs, hut during tho next fow yenrs tho Coos nay country will dovolop to fast that it will keep you stepping to bo in sight of tho procession nil tho tlmo. Now Is tho tlmo to go out nnd securo tho wntor rights which will lusuro tho city n supply of wntor, and no bettor Invostmont wns over mado by a city. Tho Modford systom installed only a year, Is paying Interest on tho half million dollnr Investment and fur nishing n surplus for tho sinking fund each month. By tho tlmo tho bonds havo matured tho Indebtedness will havo been wiped out, nnd In tho menu whllo tho people nro furnished with puro water at a reasonable rato. COMMON GOAL. INSTALL NEW OFFICERS.
