FOSS BEATEN IN MASSACHUSETTS A FEW FACTS ABOUT THE WATER SITUATION IF the Coos Bny water system Is a good Investment for private par ties It is a good investment for tho city. The statement that It will mean nn ndded burden for taxpayers is fnlso and foolish. Tho history of a thousand cities proves that tho municipal ownership nnd operation of n water system is profitable. It Is perfectly plain to any man who thinks for himself that this com munity must support tho water company. Why not own It Instead of paying tho profits to Joo Bennett and his friends. Even If It wero true tho Biiinll Indirect tax would bo much less than tho direct tax which Is levied on every resident by tho higher rates for water. - i If they say that Marshilold Is too small to own a water system nt the present time, ask them about Coqulllo and Myrtle Point, both of which cities own nnd successfully operato municipal wntcr systems. Senttlc, Portland, Astoria, Eugono, Los Angoles, Mcdford, all Pacific coast cities own their own water systems and somo nro getting wnter at one-third to one-hnlf tho present rntcs In Mnrshflcld nnd also have n much superior service. No city that has owned Rb wnter system has returned to private ownership whllo scores of cities nro ncqulrlng their own plants bb rapid ly nn franchises expire. Coos Bay cities aro progressive Ono of tho llrst questions a prospec tive rcsldont will ask Is about wator. Docs Mnrshflold dcslro to stnto that a now twenty or twenty-flvo or fifty years franchise bus Just been granted to prlvnto parties? If tho Coos Bay cities dovolop In tho next fow years thoro Is nothing that will grow as rapidly In sorvlco nnd vnluo ns tho water system. Wnter Is ns vital aB air. Now Industries will require an additional imp ply -of wator, now residents must hnvo wntcr. Tho city should bo In n position to furnish pure water at tho least possible cost. A franchlso for nny length of tlino means Just that much of a mort gage on our futuro nnd n heavy handicap In tho rnco for progress nnd development. There nro only two snno nnd sensible methods of dealing with this sit uation nt this time. First Tho city should tnkp prompt steps looking to municipal owner ship for tho protection of tho lives nnd property of Its citizens, or Second Rofuso to grnnt nny extension of frnnchlso nnd compel tho water compnny to furnish propor service under Its present frnnchlso. The -city should then ncquiro ndequnto water rights for futuro ubo to prevent a hold up when It desires to Install Its own system. THE BUSINESS SIDE OF A MUNICIPAL WATER FRANCHISE Mnrshflold and North llcntl hnvo a combined population nccordlng to last census of 5,000, nnd tho approximate cost for wator per capita In cluding domestic and Industrial uso is nbout CO cents n month or $30,000 a yenr. Estlmntcd cost of Clear Lake system nccordlng to tho report of En gineer Rlchnrdson $371,"371. Granting tho cities bonded themselves for that timount to run 35 years nt 5 per cent nnd nllow n malntennnco ex pense of $000 per month tho totnl cost of Interest, maintenance nnd yearly redemption of tho bonds would amount to approximately $950, 000. $30,000 a year for 35 years would ho $1,050,000 or n gain to con sumer of $100,000 nnd a wntcr system out of .debt. LITTLE WATER RIPPLES THIS 1s n funny old world. A fow weeks ngo whon Tho Times op posed tho 50 yenrs wntcr frnnchlso grnb somo interested parties said this paper was frightening capital nwny. It was such a shame, too, when Mr. Nolan wanted to do so much for this community In the way of water works Improvements. Really, I think myself that ho didn't wnnt to do so much for tho community ns ho wnntcd so much to do tho community. Anyway, ho took his dolls nnd returned to Omaha but left his franchlso hero. Ho snld ho wanted only a 50 years fran chlso nt doublo rates and would not purchnso tho plant unless ho could got It. Now ho comes hurrying back nnd talks about a 20 or 25 years franchise. Ho also says ho Is in so deep that ho may bo compolled to buy tho plant to protect hlmsolf. It Is too laugh. How did ho got In so deop. Has my friend, Joo, beon passing tho collection plato whllo Nolan wns In a temporary tranco? Tho oxponses Incurred should not bo considered formidable In n $150,000 deal. But probnbly, Nolan feels somewhat llko tho disappointed swain who sang: " 'TIs sweet to lovo, but oh! how bitter! To lovo n girl nnd thon not git her." My friend Joo, nlso pays a compllmont to tho public spirit of Nolan and Jackson who enmo all tho way "FROM DENVER AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE TO LOOK INTO THE SITUATION'. So far ns they nro con corned I do feol thnt thoy aro entitled to somo consideration In view of their hnvlng gone to this expense" says Joo. Joo does not suggest whoth or It should bo n public subscription to reimburse, thorn or n bonus to ac company tho 50 yenrs franchise. Joe's plea romlnds mo of n story thoy tell bnck In Minnesota of a smart railway claim agent who adjusted all claims for damages against the compnny. Mr. Olson had a cow killed by a railroad train. In duo season tho clnlm ngont for tho railroad called. "Wo understand, of course thnt tho deceased was n vory docllo nnd vnlunblo nnlmnl," snld tho clnlm ngont In his most persuaslvo clalm-agontlomnnly mnnnor, "nnd wo sympathize with you and your family In your loss. But, Mr. Olsert, you must romomber this: Your cow hnd no business bolng upon our trncks. Those tracks aro our Prlvato proporty and when sho Invaded them sho becamo a trespasser. Technically speaking, you, ns her owner, beenmo a trespasser also. But wo hnvo no doslro to enrry tho Issue Into court nnd possibly glvo you trouble. Now thon, what would you regard as a fair settlement between you and tho rnllrond company?" "Vail," said Mr. Olsen slowly, "Ay bano poor Swede farmer, but Ay shall glvo you two dollars." Now, thon, Mnrshflold Is not In tbo millionaire class and as .Too has explained thoro nro somo big obligations already resting on us, but tho people of Coos Bny nre genorous ns woll ns hospltnblo nnd porhnps If Joo would pass tho collection plato nnd glvo us another of his blosslngs we might contributo two dollnrs to help pny tho expenses of Nolan and Jackson.
