PHONE MAIN 46 QEDDE BRL NORTH FIR STREET Totne Voter and Taxpayers: You ere about to vote on the Question of authorizing the council to negotiate and sell additional bonds to the amount or 160,000 dollars lor the purpose of piping the water of Beaver creek to the city re servoir. This is a very vital question to be de termined by your vote. It involves ques tions of taxation, indebtedness, a good and pure water supply, the health and welfare of the people, and the growth and prosperity ot the city. Whatever infor mation that affects this question should be discussed. You know by this time that I believe in discussing public questions, and whether the matter submitted is considered a 'Hot Air Speil" or a true presentation of the facts it is up to you to decide. It is conceded by all who are interest ed that we need the water in fact we have got to get it It costs too much to run the pumping plant. The machinery will socn wear out and will have to be replaced. The water uui 01 Ilia noi at times is very bad. The price of fuel has aouoieu in the last five years. We are all agreed tnat we need more and better water and furnished by a gravity system. I his phase of the question need not be discussed any further. It resolves itself into bonding or raising the money some other way. Taxes, in terest and the earning rapacity of the investment must be considered. Last spring I mad up a statement at to th financial condition of th water works which was submitted to th coun cil and published in the paper. Perhaps you do not remember what that state' ment showed so I will call to your at tention tome of the items and will then proceed to explain as far at practical th condition of affairs at this time, and what you may expect in th future if you vote affirmatively on this Question of is suing bonds for gravity system. A more exact statement can be made after the end of this yearly term which terminate th 18th of March. Th statements of officers have not Hn made up for February and Dart of March this year so I must start out with the total! for ten month of th term and tttlmaUfor th btltnce.

Dr. F. F. Smith declared his conviction that th chif requisite to suc cess in typhoid cases was to "treat the typhoid patient and not the typhoid fever." It thus transpires that advanced medical thought is trending toward the attitude which Osteopathy has taken from the outset for Osteopaths always treat the patient and not the disease, not only in typhoid fever, but under all other condi tions. The logical correctness of this attitude le manifest; for it must be admitted at once that disease is not a thing apart irom me natural operation of the body, but simply the evidence that a derange ment of its normal Dhvsiolnrrir.al !.... j i vveaa place, and that correction is iui uon.DiiMBni. ana exiention ol water cauea lor. bo that, whatav.r u.

If it were a private corporation the city would be required to pay a monthly rental on hydrtms. Tne usual rental on hydrants is five dollars per month each. The city has 68 hydrants which would amount to three hundred and .orty dollars per month or 4080.00 pr year. With a gravity plant we would save the five thousand dollars per year that it would cost to run the pumping station. Starting with present rentals $12000.00 and assuming that theincr ease of rents will be next year 2000.00 Having plenty of water we can furnish the Railway Co atl7S.oo car m-mtli and for y-ar 2100.00 allowing for nydrant rental the same as if the ciw were deal ing with a separate company of disease toon cease.
