A NOTE or WARNING.

Hult W WshhlHd-
That there Is o pressing need for q
large increase in the supply Of water
for this city lie too manifest for argu-
ment. 1t is needed for the ready ex-
tinguishment Of fires. for domestic and
sanitary purposes, as well as for the or
namentstion and Identifying Of cur
city.
But because needed, and we may say
sorely needed. i. does not become Us. as
citizens having the future of this city
in our care. 10 overlook the means and
costs of that supply. There is always
danger in the pressure Of q present
want. It affords an opportunity for
capital, always far seeing and ably man
aged, to make hard bargain. Mort
cages upon the old homestead, with
their consuming interest, have their
origin in this need and opportunity.
Let us beware that our needs do not
make US bondmen to corporate power.
The gas and water franchises Of every
city in the United States have not only
yielded their owners princely fortunes.
but their corporate owners. like huge
controlling monsters. have all those cities
by the throat, aud no effort of the peo-
pie has been effective to unlcosen their
suffocating grasp. They are always en-.
treDched in the grant Of exclusive priv
ileges. perpetual in duration or running
through long series Of years. They
are always projected by able financiers
and defended by the best legal ability.
Theirs is the very essence Of coDcen-
trated and enlightened power. What
have they opposed to them but tickle,
unsteady but honest mass In such q
fight corporate power is always yicto-
rious.
Without wsging war on any of the
plans proposed, for that lie not our OBJ
ject. let US look at some facts:
ist. II isproposed to charge q water
rent Of two dollars per month TO each
household. This is the worst of all the
changes proposed. Let US suppose that
there are now one thousand of these
households. This would give for the
first year ga. 900. or 10 per cent. interest
on $40. 600. At the end Of twenty five
years these households would run up TO
ten thousand. giving rental of $780,
900. or interest at 10 per cent. on $2,-
100000. Not only this. but it is pro-
posed to levy tax of two mills per
cent. annually running oil through this
quarter Of century. Say the present
valuation is one million. That would
give $4,000; enough possibly for one Of
its officers. At the end Of the twenty
five years the valuation would no doub
reach twenty millions. and the Ia,
would net the nice little sum Of $40, 600
Now 1t may be necessary. in order 4
obtain an adequate supply of water TO
this city. to grant oil thus asked bu
it would be well for the people and on
city guardians to go slow and cautiousl
in this matter.
And, secondly, to remember Away
that corporations are not acting on an
principle OF benevolence in their prop
ositions to the city. They are attendin
to their own interests in an intelligen
manner. They are looking 10 the re
pletion Of their own pockets. Wit
malice to none and charity to all, let u
look rs prudent men to our own inter
eats and the interests of our GROWN
and prosperous city.
