PROBABLY few persons Of this city have
ever yet realized that 100000 could be
spent in putting down sewers and the
water works bought and paid for with
out costing the people nickel more than
they are now paying, except to make
sewer connections and pay water rents
for closets, which they would have to do
at all events were the sewers put down
according to the proposition now under
discussion by the Council. More than
that. all this could be done and the S2l,-
600 for fire protection, about $500 for IT.
rigating parks, etc, and the SLIGO Tor
flushing the proposed sewers, aggregat-
ing So, 600, could be saved to the city
each year, TO be spent otherwise or Sc
curing reduction OF taxes to that
amount. The present income from pri-
yate consumers OF the Breckenridge
water monopoly would more than
pay the interest and sinking fund on
the value OF the works, and the
$4,000 that the 1900 buildings that
would have to be connected with the
sewers would have to pay to the water
monopoly as water rents for closets,
would pay the interest at six per cent on
100000, and leave sinking fund Of two
per cent Is it any wonder, then, that
the people are opposed to building sew
ers until they first own the water
works? 1t is claimed by the friends Of
the Breckenridge water monopoly that
if the people would refuse to vote for
sewers they would also refuse to vote
for buying the water-wOrks. Let the
Water-works Company make fair offer
to sell to the city, and then it will be
seen whether the people would refuse to
buy or net.

THE true American idea that every

its he may climb to the top Of the social

to the implication that born a newer Of
wood and drawer Of water, nothing is
left fer him to do but to fight for an
armelioration Of his unfortunate cOndi-
ton. A true American youth who
learns trade does it for a stepping

ton to capitalist. True manhood is not
to envy a capitalist but to aspire to his
