The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1872-03-14

Water Works, Yes 1t is pretty
generally known that an ordinance is
now before the Council, proposing to
submit the question of building Wa
ter Works at the April election. It is
not generally known what the proba-
bic cost of Water Works will be. Is
not all that a little peculiar? Here is
a question to be submitted to the peO-
pie involving a tax Of from a hundred
to two hundred thousand dollars for a
specific purpose and no one knows
what it is to lead to. All that is known
is that the people are invited to tax
themselves to 4 considerable amount.
That may be right but If our citizens
vote for Water Works they are more
willing to Ego it blind" than most
people are. We believe in the necas-
sity of these Works, their advantages
to the welfare Of the city and the pro-
priety of them being built soon. We
also believe that if the citizens Of this
city were properly enlightened upon
the subject they would vote favorably
for the Works.
With that view we believe the ques-
ton should not be submitted this
Spring, but should be deferred until
sufficient light is had upon the ques-
ton to enable our citizens to vote un-
derstandingly. To that end facts and
figures should be secured by COM
petent men, relative to the prob
able cost of the Works, the kind of
Works, the number of miles of pipe
that will be necessary, where and how
the water is to be got, the probable
expense to the consumer, etc.
