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. Wi unnnt Net Profit 16400 m
fill
Net difference 27oo.oo
The new gravity system will cost us
for operating only two thousand seven
hundred dollars more than we have been
paying assuming that the cost for suDer
intendent collecting rents and maintenance
1 th same as now and as stated . before
w can increase the rentals to 41 00,00 so
w will be ahead on th deal 14oo,ooand
win nave an abundance of pure water in
th bargain.
Then mind you th water from Beaver
Creek will supply five times th present
population.
Inciudirg the chars for hydrant rental
and for eprinkling that we would have to
pay to a privat corporation th earn at
wt are buying lishU from th Electric
Light Company now w will tee how this
gravity water works will pan out as an

A TRUE VIEW Or DISEASE
Before the Br.tish Medical Association
recently. 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

same basis as a private water Company
would operate it.
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
