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. I
