We have something special for you this year, GRIFFIN AND VEATCH COMPANY A WARNING IS ISSUED Experience of Washington City Givenchy Correspondent. By D. A.. Hendricks. I once knew a kind hearted farmer who owned some rocky hill land high up on a hill near a prosperous little town in Washington. It so happened that this little city voted bonds to build and operate their own water sy tem and the farmer hearing of it offered to deed the city, for the' low price of one dol lar, an acre of his hill land, knowing that the city would need such land upon which to build a reservoir for their pro posed water system. The doner of this acre of land only stipulated that he be allowed a pipe line and free use of the water for 99 years. The little city, by its councilmen. ac cepted this gift from the farmer. It was generous, and they were well pleased. The big cistern was built upon the property and for a number of years operated, but in time the farmer who gave the acre of ground asked the city council of that city, then an entire ly new body, to comply with their agreement to furnish him a pipe line and free Use of the' water. The legal fraternity figured there was nothing left for the city to do but comply with its agreement and so the city was compelled to furnish the far mer with a pipe line at a cost of $600 in cash and furnish water at a cost to the city of $5 per month for 99 years, all for the one acre of rock land worth no more than $10, and so very gener ously donated to the prosperous little city. So from this little story, which is a true one, a lesson is learned. I am a firm believer in all kinds of improve ments. I would favor bonding the city for $200,000 instead of $100,000 if it was certain the money would be spent wise ly for public improvements. The in creased valuations would make those improvements worth double and proba bly treblle the money long before the debt became due. The system has never been known to fail, and is especially certain in a coun try so rich and so little developed as this. But in the -expenditure of the money obtained by a bonded indebted ness wise guidance should prevail. In bringing water a long ways to a city the right-of-way for a pipe line should be purchased outright leaving no loop hole by which any party or parties should have the slightest right to the use of the main except he pay for that right the same as any other user of the city’s Water. If along the line of right-of-way it is deemed advisable to trade water to a farmer for right-of- way the Value of his right-of-way should not be too greatly estimated and if the trade is made the farmer should be given a water-meter and alloWed to use the water at the same price it is sold to city consumers, no less and no more, until such time as his credit ac count is absorbed and then charged in cash the same for water as is charged any other citizen. I know nothing of the present proposed plan, or plans, that may, be in contemplation, but I believe every phase of a public enter prise should be publicly discussed as a most certain means of bringing about the aims and purposes of every booster, which ■ means the greatest good to the greatest number.
