Glasscock, governor of THE action of Mayor Straw and so mo members of tho city council In trying to forco a special olcctloti nt which the peoplo may express themselves on tho proposition ot payIng'$lCO,000 for tho present city water system Is whnt tho attorneys would call "incompotcnt, Irrelevant nnd immaterial." A ll4lr"iMr ilii!J! Such nn election would bd a foolish waste of tlmo, money nnd effort. It would not settle nnythlng. It would not even give an Indication of the people's proferenco in tho mattor of munlclpnl ownership. Mayor Straw might Just ns well try to get a man's opinion of tho value of Undo Sam's coin hy going down tho stroot and offering n plugged quarter for 50 cents worth of property. Whon tho man re fused lo accept the of for It would not mean that ho did not have faith and confidence In United Stntcs coin; It would simply mean that ho was not a damn fool. The peoplo of Mnrshflold aro not going to voto to pay Mr. Nolan or Mr. Ucnuott $1(30,000 for property that expert engineers nnd others say Ih not worth within $30,000 or $'10,000 of Jthnt sum. Thoy aro not go. Ing to burden thomsolvcs with additional taxes just to mako a donation ol $30,000 to Mr. Hoiiuett or Mr. Nolan. And when they rcttiEO to do that It does not mean that thoy are not tti favor of municipal owner ship of tho water works. It moroly Indicates that they are not fools. Tho people of Mnrshflold aro not Annr'chlsts. Tlio peoplo of Mnrshflold nro not fools. Thoy nro not going to confiscate or destroy Mr. Nolan's or Mr. Hon riott's water works. Neither arc they going to pay Mi. Nolan or Mr. Dennett n $30,000 or $10,000 bonus. Abrnhum Lincoln once woll nnd truly said, "You can fool nil of tho people ho mo of tho tlmo, you can fool some of tho peoplo nil tho tlmo, but you ennnot fool nil of tho peoplo all tho time." That Is tho oxact situation In Mnrshflold today. All ot tho peoplo can bo fooled once In n while on this franchise proposition, somo of thorn can be fooled nil the tlmo, but you can't fool nil of them nil tho tlmo. Let us tnkc a brief rovlow of tho water situation to date Mr. Nolan first appeared boforo tho city council with tho nnnouncomont thnt ho had nn option to purchnso tho water works from FInnagnn & Hennutt, but boforo he closed tho option he wanted a fifty years' frnn rhlso at a schedule of rates about double tho present prices. If tho council would not grant his domands he would have nothing further to do with tho proposition. Tho council refused to grant tho franchise Then Mr. Nolnn said ho would bo willing to cut down tho length of tho franchise to 25 or 35 yenrs nnd would readjust tho wnter rates. This was not granted. Now comes Mr. Nolnn nnd snys ho will buy tho plant ns it stands nnd not nsk the city for n now franchise. Ho nlso snys that "Immedi ately after purchaso wo shall construct a largo, modern, rolnforccd con crete nnd coment rcsorvolr, tightly covered, nnd will add other Improve ments to tho system ns fast as tho Income. will permit." This sounds fair. Why not tnko a common sonBo vloW of tho sit uation? Mr. Nolnn or Mr. Uonnctt hnvo 17 years' contrnct, In tlio form of it frnnchlso. to furnish wntor to tho city. Why not pormlt thorn to do It? Jf they will not do it thoro should bo somo way to compel thorn to do so. If not, whnt Is tho uso of further franchises or contracts? Three expert engineers hnvo pnsscd upon tho value of tho present plnnt. Tholr figures vnry only n fow thousand dollars. A committee of threo appointed by Mayor Strnw passed on tho vnluo of tho real' estate and other proporty. Thoy wero entirely ngreod on everything except tho value of the wntor rights. Excluslvo of tho wntor rights, tho total value (and It Is n llbornl estimate) Ic $10.1,357.50. City Engineer Gld ley estimates tho wntor rlghtB at $20,000. This would mnko tho totnl vnluo of tho plant and wntor righto $123,357.50. This Is whnt tho peo plo nro asked to pay $lii0.000 for. Another member of tho committee, K. G. Perhnm. n prnm'nont con tractor, placed tho vnluo of tho wntor lights at $35,000. which would mako the totnl valuo $138,357.50. And tho peoplo nrc asked to pay $160,000. Arno Mereon placed thn value of tho wator rights at $50,000 nnd oven nt this enormous figuro the totnl valuo of tho plant Is only $153,357.50, or nearly $7000 less thnn the price tho people are asked to pay nl tho very highest valuation thnt could ho named. Ono prominent business mnn romnrked yesterday if tho wator rights of Pony Slough wero worth $50,000 tho Clenr Lako wntor rights would ho worth $500,000. And this Is true. The Clenr I.ako water rights mean an absolutely pure and luexhnustlblo supply far all tlmo. Of courso If Mayor Straw nnd Al Powers desire to furnish the poo plo of Mnrshflold nn election holiday nt tholr own expense thero prob ably should bn no protest or objoctlon. nut It Booms foolish nnd ridiculous. $100,000.
