Council N lltnmeil Individually, and collectively, wo hello vo It Is tho work of our council, rather than that of the city residents. And as wo ran Ret no satisfaction from tho council as Individuals, wc delrc to put the matter aquaroly bo fore tho public, with the hopo thattn sOmo manner this injustice may ho righted. Wo aro told that tho city taxpayer objects to our having tho water at tho old rate for tho reason that wo arc setting tho samo benefits and privileges that they arc getting and not paying any city taxes. Now hero is n phnso of the question that pos sibly they did not stop to consider. In tho case of ourselves. Wo pur chased our own water pipe, did our own excavating, laid the pipe gavo tho city of Mcdford $10.00 for connect ing up with tho city mains, besides other Incidental expenses. So that wo do not feci wo nro doing tho city resident any harm so long as wo pay a reasonable prlco for tho water used. Unlit Own Pipe Uncs Now as to the benefits wc arc get ting. Did tho council pause to con sider tho fact that when a city water user has water put In on a city lot, nnd It costs him say for -example $40 that ho gets $40 worth of water bo fore ho Is asked to make any cash monthly payments? Do wo outsiders get this benefit? No Indeed, wo do not. The water department inti mated that they wcro doing us an ccr lasting favor by giving us three days service that wo were on tho lino before the first of tho month. Why should the city council at tempt to saddle, upon tho outsldo resi dents an absurd and unreasonable rate. At least not to tho extent of $2. CO por month and $10 for a meter that we neither need nor want. As regards tho motor Is It reasonable to Kiipposo that because wo arc Just out sldo tho coporato limits wa should be more dishonest or inoro wasteful of tho city's water supply than those living n couplo of hundred feet away? Upkeep Coi( Nothing They tell us that many of tho city residents demand to have meters In stalled, nud gladly pay for some. This Is probably true, especially In tho case of hotel, restaurant and apartment hoiiso owners, whuro the fixed rules aro considered by tho own ens to bo exorbitant. Kvcn this fact would caiiho tho average person to think that somuouo hud been rather careless In fixing tho rato. If tho construction and upkeep of theso sur burbuu Hues costs tho city nothing, which It does tiot, why doesn't the old rato which Is surely enough, help to pay thu Interest on that bonded in debtedness? If It does not go thero, where docs It go? Thero must bo reason and gooJ senso lu all things, you cannot remedy mutters by attempting to grab every cent thero Is In sight nil at ono sit ting, Tho council surely doesn't de sire, to bankrupt nnd drive away overy pour man within sight of Mcdford. True enough, inuny of us located Just outsldo tho limits because wo real ized our fluanclul condition and wanted to curtail as many expenses as possible Hut, enn wo not bo con sidered ns prospcctlvo citizens If wo bought outsldo cheaper und can get u footing euslur, won't wo bo better nldo to help carry tho extra burden whim wo are eventually taken Into tho city? Quoting tho council'! own words, Isn't It purely a mutter of business? Don't we all ns a rulu buy where wo consider U tho cheapest, all things considered? No Juki ho In ItutcM Then if thu fit)' has water to sell, tho only wuy to cut real money for It Is to soil It, und becuiuo wo live out- iddu Is no earthly reason why wu should pay twlco what II Is woilh mutely Iiucuiimi tlio council thinks wo cannot help nureivi'.
