Hout With DELAYS IN CITY 0M1P CANCEROUS' AHO COSTLY John MacVicar, One of Foremost Municipal Officials In Coun- try Tells Why Cities Should Own and Control Their Water, Supply Success In Many Western Cities John MacVicar of Des Moines, Iowa, ono of tho best known municipal olllclnls In tho United States mid considered one of the most practical city olllclnls in tho country, is nn ardent advocate of municipal owner ship, especially of Water systems. Tho Times 1b in receipt of a lottor from Mr. MacVicar outlining his views on municipal waterworks nnd tho necessity of obtaining them ns soon aa possible. Mr. MncVlcar'a letter Is n comploto refutation of tho contention of many of Mayor Strnw's supporters that they favor muni-' clpal ownership but thnt "tho tlmo Is not opportune" for tho city to ac quire it. Mr. MncVlcnr points out tho danger of dolnys in this respect tho big prlco tho city will havo to pay Inter and tho possibility of tho public being monncod by private ownership not giving sufllclont nttentlon to keeping tho supply pure. Mr. MaoVIcar was for n tlmo mnyor of Dob Moines and was ono of the first to espouse the causa of the commission form of municipal gov ernment. Lnrgoly through his offorts, Dob Moines ndoptcd that form and he has been ono of tho members of tho commission over since its ndop tlon despite n florco fight that has been wnged on him by tho corpora tions thoro owing to his inslstonco that they glvo tho pcoplo of Des Moines a "Hntiaro deal." IIo has won out In most of his struggles. Bo- shies being ono of tho bonds of tho Dcb Moines city govornmont, ho is secrctnry of tho American League of municipalities, tho fbromost or ganization of city executives in tho United States. Tho TIiiicb' lottor from Mr. MacVicar giving his views on municipal ownership of. waterworks has a reference to the situation in Dcb Moines nnd Is strnngoly parallel to tho condition on Coos Bay ovon to tho contention over, tho purity of tho water nnd delays In Installing tho mu nicipal .system. MIoro Ib what Mr. MaoVIcar writes: "Concerning municipal ownership of water works, pormit mo to Boy thnt after 20 years observation nnd expe rience In city affairs I have no hesi tancy in advising any community to own nnd control its water works. Thero mny bo boiiio difference of opinion nB to ownership. of electric lighting, street rnllwny, gns, nnd other public sorviccB but thero Is ab solutely no two sides to municipal ownership of wntor works. It will bo difficult for n man to find in tho United States nn oxamplo of whero n munlclpnlly owned wntor works did not glvo cheaper Borvlco, whoro con ditions woro nlmllnr. than a prlvato cnmpnny. In addition to this It is tho duty of n community to own its wntor works for tho reason that then It enn bo directly responsible for tho purity of tho supply. A matter so Important ns pure water should not bo left to prlvato ontorpriso. "Des Molnea has had cxperlonco thnt would bo of Borvlco to nny city considering municipal ownership of water works. Fifteen years ngo tho city refused to purchaso its water works plant for jhgo.uuu. Touny, it Is exceedingly nnxlous to purchnso Mm nlnnt nnd tho owners nsk $2,700.- 000 for it and practically gvoryIol- lnr of extensions mndo to tho plant during tho past fifteen years has como' from tho profits derived from excessive rates which havo ohtalnod. "About a year ago, n .typhoid fovoi epidemic broke out In. Dos Moines. The wntor works company provod by analysis of tho wntor, it was good and typhoid must bo frcm Homo other source. Tho city employed exports; ono from tho covornmont sorvlco nt IWnshington nnd ono from Now York 'city and these exports agreed It was .the city water because of contamina tion which was permitted. Thoy pointed out a way in which it could bo avoided and the wnter company wnB compolled to rovlso its systom of 'purification. This Is but ono oxam plo of many. I "Omaha Is anothor example Sho bought hor plant n fow yenrs ngo nnd wtiH compelled to pay $0,500,- ' 000 for it whon Its engineer said it was worth $3,500,000. Portland, Mnlno, is nnothor examplo whoro a city wan compelled to pny an oxces slvo prlco to obtain municipal own ership. "Los Angeles, Cal., and Knnsns City, Mo., aro examples whore groat bcnofltB wero derived from municipal ownership of wntor works."

Editor Times: Although I havo mado It n lulo nevor to mix up In politics, I am deep ly interested in iho campaign now nn 'in Mnrshflold. In fuct, I go not con Bldei that tho campaign now on hero Is n matter of politics kj much as It is u plain biislnovi rropositlon, tho outcome of which will vitally affect ovory man, woman and child In our city. Consequently, I nm going to wrlto you n few lines, hoping thnt I mny influence othora who havo felt about ordinary city politics as I hnvu felt and mny not evou tnko enough Interest In It this tlmo to voto be en u bo thoy do not real'zo the. neces sity of action. To mo, it !b not a matter as to whether Straw, McCrary or Copplo wins; It is whether tho peoplo of Mnrshflold aro going to protect thorn selves, their health and their honiea by arranging for nn adequate supply of pure water. Mayor Straw stands for prlvato ownership nnd n continuation of tho frnnchlso systom under which wo havo boon writhing thoso many yenrs. Mr. Copplo Btands for forcing tho wntor compnny to glvo us tho sorvlco and protection to which wo nro en titled under tho frnnchlso thnt has mado Its owners lots of monoy nnd for tho city (tho pcoplo) owning and controlling tho wntor systom just as soon ns It can bo acquired on n busi ness like bnsls. Thou if thoro la any monoy to bo mndo out of It, tho pco plo will get it instead of somobody nt Omaha. Mayor Straw says in tho platform ho had In Tho Times tho othor night that ho is willing to do what tho pcoplo want htm to do nnd will hnvo thorn voto on ovory question about tho waterworks. What doq that moan? If I romomhor correctly tho account of a recent Mnrshflold Town Board mooting, ho nnd Tom Coke woro In favor of hnvlng us, votors, decldo who'hor wo wore In favor of paying $100,000 for tho old systom from which wo nro now suf fering or In fnvor of granting n fifty- year frnnchlso to tho company and uouuiing our rntcs. Why didn't they include nnother question asking for ub peoplo to voto on whnthor wo wantod to bo robbod or not? It would bo Just ns Bonslblo. Mayor Straw should know and Tom Coke should know that. nny mnn of any sense is opposod to paying $5,000 for a "city beauty" and $10,000 to somo got-rlch-qulck Walllngfords, Wo would Hnvo to voto it down. So would wo havo to vpto down tho flfty-yenr franchise. Then what would Mnyor Straw do? Submit n proposition thnt tho city build a brewery or something olso nnd cut out tho use of wntor? I want to toll you thnt the wntor problem now up Is tho most impor tant thing tho peoplo of Mnrshflold hnve boon called upon to decldo. Be sides our health and tho protection of our homes nnd stores In case of flro. wo hnvo got to havo plenty of wator and that at a rensonnblo rate in order to get fnctorlos nnd grow. Tho only wny to do it Is to hnvo tho city arrange to own It na soon as It can on n business-like basis. I noticed in Tho Times Inst night that Tom Bennett, Claude Nosburg, A. Ralpho O'Brien nnd J. M. Upton wero tho committee- aiding Straw's cnmpalgn. Now if I needed nnything olso to help mo how to decldo to vote, this suro would do Jt. Tom Bennett is Joo Bennett's son nnd Joo Bennett is trying to unload tho wa terworks at a big prlco or got a long term franchise and high wnter rato. Claude Nasburg is trying to got $5, 000 out of tho donl. J. M. Upton haB always been n supporter of what J. W. Bennett wants. I don't know Mr. O'Brien. Do you suppose thoy would bo working for Dr. Straw and against Mr. Copplo unless Straw was going to help them attain their ends? Not by a long ways. I wish I could wrlto bettor so I could tell my views as plainly Ai the matter appeals to me. I have Edward Jurgins and Fred Fos terCaught at Ranch Home ' Near Roseburg.
