STEWART, Treas. .. - A.l.CYkUS.Sec'y. crr ir.4ri?Troi?A5. Ox tbo 28th of May, nearly three weeks ago The Morning Astobian gave tbe news that Messrs. Harris and Halsey, of Chicago, His., wanted to - pet control of tho Columbia Water oaapany. and a thirty -ear franchise from the city, the city to pay them Sa.UA) a year for water for fire pur pases. The proposition comes uplordis casdou in the city council to-morrow night. A few remarks are in order. With no more than passing allu sioa to the fact that the Columbia Water Co., from its start in '83 never complied with its contract, and the additional fact that tho city never complied with its contract with the Water company, it is to be said that the present facilities for supplying water are inadequate to present needs. Even at its present size Astoria has not tho daily supply of water it should have. Its certain and manifest growth makes it necessary to cause instant provision to be made for needed de ads in the near future. This is so manifest as to require no argument. We all agree that a larger wd aore uniform supply of water for our city u an existing necessity. How best to secure it is the ques tion. These Chicago men propose to put in about S100,000. For that anionnt a very good system can be placed. It is probable that the requisite system of securing adequate water supply could us put in for less but allow for all coatingencies say $100,000, Money is now worth five per cent in the east These men ought, therefore, to secure a net annual profit of 85,000 on their investment to have their money cam them what it would in a Chicago savings bank or a Chicago city or voofc county bond. It would bo no Jaore than fair that it earned an ad ditional one per cent by investing in Astoria. Hence, if they put in $100,000, or anything like that sum, it oaght to net them $6,000 a year. They ask that the city pav them this sum for furnishing water for fire Purposes. Thus the city is asked to secure them fair interest for their investment. The citizens-the private consum ers, will have their bills to pay, as at present From this comes the profit The proposition is a good one for the Chicago men. They invest $100, OM here; the city secures them or KTiarantees them a six per cent, inter est annually on their investmnet, and they, then, in addition, collect water rates from the citizens for what they se. The investment, whether $100, OM or more would bo an exceedingly profitable one. If Astoria can't do any better the proposition should be accepted at OBCC. Clatsop . Lartf Company.

The time arrives when cities realize the mistake made ingiv-, ing franchises that at the time of gift were lightly thought of. Let it not be said in days to come of our present council, "Oh, they were good men; well-meaning men, but they didn't realize what they-were doing." Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Chicago, have been through costly .ex perience. San Francisco is groaning in the toils of the Spring Valley Water company. That octopus cait pay bribes of 1,000,000 a year, to the city supervisors, employ an army of .high priced lawyers, and still declare big dividends on watered millions of fic titious stock, which is not for sale, too good to let go. Astoria is not a big city yet: when it is it will be well for it to own its own waterworks and save its citizens annual millions. We groan now under taxation and complain about so much money being sent away. Wouldn't it be good finance to bo arrange that at least for water, no money be sent away? i It no better can be done, make the proposed arrangement with the Chi cago men, for Astoria needs better water supply. The Astobian thinks that it would be better for Astoria to do as hundreds of other cities have done and are do ing own and administer the water works and give citizens abundant wa ter at low rates.

BHpplr; it wants to see water at every prominent street corner for firo nnr. poses and lower rates than the present xor private consumers. To do this it suggests that the city bay, own and maintain the water works. Thkisthe truo pelicy: the broad easge plan that will result in larger ba&efits than can bo derived in any other wav. The Astokiax favors the scheme of ealarsingthe present water system; of adequate water supply for fire pur poses; it directs the attention of the city council to the big profit in it for private capital, and asks them if pri vate iadividuals can make big money this matter, why can't the city save big jaoney by itself buying and run S the water works?
