The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1889-08-07
One Of pnwsea.s Greatest Needs.

Among Dawson's many and
pressing needs isa good system of
waterworks.
The city's rapid growth demands
it, and it remains to be seen
if our present progressive and en-
terprising board of aldermen will
arise to the emergency and win the
still greater commentator of their
admiring constituency.
The city is cut of debt and has
some money in the treasury, and
it is said by one of the aldermen
that the financial condition of the
town will warrant the building of a
first-class system of waterworks.
Instead OF being an expense, the
waterworks could be made source
ofrevenue to the city. There are
but few families who would not
pay ten or fifteen dollars year
to have supply of good artesian
water at their homes. Thus, it
will be seen. this annual income
from the citizens for water privi>
leges would soon pay the expense
of the erection Of the works and be
a source of steady income to the
city treasury for all time thereaf,
ter.
Let our aldermen take the mat
ter in hand and work together t.
give Dawson something that sht
has long needed and must soor
have.
