Agt 1 NjllifeP liljIuHlitlitWH ) W"'!!!1 nJ i What happen In the charter amendment which proposes a bond issue of $1,200,000 to purchase Salem's water system, the follow ing very pertinent paragraph appears: "(1) That said Common Council shall, each year at the time of making the annual tax levy for city purposes, make a special levy in a sum sufficient to pay the interest due on the outstanding bonds of this issue, and to retire the principal thereof as it matures; provided, however, that such levy shall not be made WHEN and IF the income on hand derived from such water plant, applic able thereto, shall be sufficient to pay such interest due on such outstanding bonds of this issue, and to retire the principal thereof as it matures.' This means that if the yearly revenue on the water plant is not sufficient to pay all operating expenses, provide for improvements and STILL HAVE ENOUGH LEFT OVER TO PAY INTEREST ON AND RETIRE THE BONDS AS THEY MATUREthe balance will be made up by special tax levy which YOU PAY What probably will happen is foreshadowed by what IS HAPPENING today in the city of Portland, where the Water Works is being ad ministered under the waste ful and inefficient methods of municipal ownership A report of the City Club, reprinted in the Oregonian of March 8th, shows that in 1928 the Water Works in Portland had a deficit of $114,47663 They further estimate that deficits for suc ceeding years will range from $107,000 in 1929 to $225,000 in 1934- The water rates in Portland are perhaps a trifle lower than in Salem Why not when such deficits can be passed back to the taxpayers? The public has come to recognize that it is far more important to them to get adequate, satisfactory and certain service than to secure the lowest possible rates It is to the company's inter est, of course, to furnish an adequate supply of good water at the lowest con sistent rate the interests of the company being identical with the pufclic's interests If you do not want to face the possibility of paying more taxes in Salem, vote NO to the proposal that Salem pur chase trie water system Paid advertisement by OREGON-WASHINGTON WATER SERVICE COMPANY SALEM
