Some people in Corvallis have
very good well water. But ail can
not have BUGh gcoi wtll water.
Many a well in this" town has had
to be abandoned beca.ise ef the bad
character of the water seeping down
from the surface. People of the
latter class re driven to use of Wil
lamette' water and cannot help
themselves. Is there anybody -for-tuxa
e enough to have good well
water that is now opposing the new
system which hundreds of people
are clamoring for?
Hlf tbe area of Corvallis is
wholly without fire prot9tion. The
new system proposes such an ar
rangement of fire hydrants that four
streams of water from differed hy
drants can be put on any building
in town, the ex'reme limits of Job's
addition not excepted. : Some - peo-'
pie in. the protected poitton of town
oppoee the new water system and
thereby insist that those without
the protected poition of town shall
continue without any fire protec
troa whatsoever. If the people in
the northern and southern portion
of town pay taxes, they have aright
to a wat?r syBtem that will protect
their property from destruction ; by
Are and give them lower insurance
rates. If the people of western
Corvallis pay taxes, and they do,
they have a right, as much as have
the people of Central Corvallis to
fire protection and low insurance
rates. If the peopie of . Job's addi
tion and WilkisB' addition and tbe
other additions pay taxes, which
they do, they also should have fire
protection for their homes and a re
duction in insurance rates, j at-1 as
much as do the people of Central
Co"vallissomeJof whom'opppse the
newwater system. In common justice,
in all fairness, by every rule ot
equity that should prevail between
man aid man,"ought not the peopla
in the protected portion to allow
tbope'in the unprotected portion ot
town t have fire prot-ction and
lower insurance rates when the lat
ter are appealing for them?
