Will ISSUE BONDS.

Allegheny Finance Committee Decide to
Spend S1,25O,OOO in Water Improve
ments-The Question VIII Go to a Vote
of the People Other Measures Adopted.
A special meeting of the Allegheny
Finance Committee was held last night to
take action on the ordinance submitting to
a vote of the people the question of bond
issue. Mr.. Arthur Kennedy, chairman of
the subcommittee, presented the ordinance
recommended by that body. 1t provided
for an issue OF 50, ,OOO, 900 worth of bonds, Of
which 81 900, 900 was for water extension,
$500, 900 for street improvements, $500, 900
for sewers and 500, 900 for lighting pur-
poses. When it had been read Mayor
Kennedy explained the proposed plan of
extending the water main to Six-Mile
Island.
Ex-Councilman Cochran said he favored
the water extension. He suggested, how
ever, that they make it 81 800, 900 for water
and go to Nine-Mile island, but he was op-
posed to the other measure. They could
improve their streets gradually, he thought
Mr.. Arthur Kennedy said they were acting
in accordance with the wishes of the people
who wanted all these improvements Presi-
dent Lindsay and Mr. Dahlinger said they
believed it best to allow the people to vote
separately on the different improvements.
Mr.. Parke favored two ballots, one for
water extension and one for the other i'm
provements, and moved they increase the
amount to 81, 250, 900. This was adopted
and the other amounts on motion were
fixed as recommended by the sub-commit-
tee. After some further discussion as to
the manner in which the ballots should be
prepared it wa. decided to have the City
Solicitor prepare Two ballots. One is for
the question of water extension and the
other includes streets, sewers and lighting.
Special meetings of Councils will be
called soon to take action on the measures.

THE WATER SUPPLY.

James b. Scott Thinks It VIII Ultimately
Lead to the Consolidation Of Pittsburg,
Allegheny and the Surrounding Bor-
oughs-How. 1t Could Be Accomplished,
In an anonymous interview yesterday, a
gentleman said to be posted on the ques-
tion advises against the cities and towns OF
this county allowing a private corporation
to construct mountain water supply sys-
tenn as proposed by the Western Water
Company. The gentleman refers to the
grip the Southside Water Company has on
that part of the city, and says the cities
should combine, issue bonds and build the
system themselves He estimates the cost
would not exceed $4,000, 900, which could
be paid in few years easily if each OF the
various local governments would assume its
share of the bonds.
James B. Scott thinks the question of
new water supply will be the one which
will ultimately result in bringing about q
consolidation of Pittsburg, Allegheny, Nc
Keesport and all the large boroughs around
the city into one big municipality. '1t is
impossible to conceive of a proper arrange
ment of this subject in any other way" said
Mr.. Scott. By such consolidation we
would have city and county combined
with population of over 500,0 900 1t could
be much more economically handled than
with a dozen governments, as is the
case now, and the size of the
city would give her the prominent
place in the world she is entitled
to. All these towns are really part of
Pittsburg. Allegheny is part of Pitts
burg. Take the street on which live in
Allegheny. In couple of blocks there are
20 or more business men, and every morn
Ing every one of them goes across to Pitts
burg to his.business office, store or manufac-
tory. 1t is Pittsburg capital which main
tains these outlying towns, such as are
manufacturing places, and where they are
residence places they are peopled by men
who have their business interests or earn
their living in Pittsburg. Whatever con-
Germs Pittsburg concerns them all. In fact
they are identical, and in order to solve the
water problem the first step is to speedily
consolidate them into one government.
After that the balance will be comparative
ly easy."
