THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1912-EVEN1NG EDITION. & v S COOS BAY TIMES M. O. MALONEV Editor nnd Tut). DAN K. MALONEV News Editor CITY WITHOUT TANKS. ILVERTON, Colorado, Is n city without tnxes. It occupies tins enviable position, not so much Because of Its natural advantages MBough It has many such but nlso flocnuso of tho wisdom and foresight of its pcoplo and becnuso Its omclals liavo worked for tho pooplo, Instead of for their own solflsh advancement. Tho fact that Sllvcrton has no city taxes Is duo directly to tho fact that Sllvorton owns Its water and lighting system. Such an Incomo Is dorlvod from tho sale of water and light that all the expenses of tho municipal gov ernment aro met In that manner. And water and light, though car rying tho ontlro burden of tho city, Is not expense. Small consumers of fcloctrlclty pay only 7 1-2 cents per kilowatt hour; larger consumers pay as llttlo as C cents. It costs n man $8 per year for water for an eight-room house, nnd an oxtra dollar for each additional Tooin ho may add to his house. Of course Sllvorton Is most advan tageously situated, as rogards both wator nnd power. Lofty mountains tIso nil about tho city. Water nnd powor nro right In tho city's back yard. It cost but llttlo to build a .siualclpnl water nnd lighting system. THH MORNING AFTER.
