It would be a wise move for the city of Salem to pur
chase the water system, at a reasonable ;price. ':
The writer is against the public ownership and operation
of most utilities; but there is a reasonable exception in the
cse -of. the! water supply of Salem . ' '
And ihe. main reason is that the ciiy can borrow money at
a lower rate ' than an individual or a private company must
pay, anc can fior this reason, under good management, pre
pare bette'rfor'iuture growth than would be justified by an
individual or a private company 1 , C, ' - !
That is, can use larger, mains and pipes than "are called
for bv.mimediate necessities, put in 'more -permanent works
and ;in.other "way look to the distant rather than the imme
diate fdture. t.yj : 1 . J; ;'v;
'" And the city can with good -business judgment look .to
the early construction of a pipe line tov bring' in mountain
water by the gravity, system, saving the cost of pumping and
giving a. supply that is generally thought to be better, than
may be had from any other source- , '
Giving opportunity for effective advertising.
' It is likely ;ihat the city of Salem could borrow money on
water bonds at three to three and a half per cent interest
i whereas private parties must pay; around six per cent. The
TT saving on interest alone. over; a, long' period Would justify
thc investment in a pipe lineto tap, a mountain water
' supply
11 And "the time will likejy come, with the grdwth of Salem',
: ' when the; saving on water delivery by the gravity i system
; , t over the cost ; of pumping will justify the- gravity system ;
