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."

REAL ISSUE!
L
Voter Says It Is Waterworks
and Not PoliticsOpposes
Straw's Stand.
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
