TO IMPROVE PRINCETON

BY a System of Water Works and Electric
Lights-Object of Mondays Election.
To the editor: Owing to the fact that
the five per cent village bonds voted
last spring could not be disposed of ad-
vantageously to the best interest of the
village the council has called for an
other election for the purpose of vot-
ing bonds bearing six per cent interest,
which is the usual rate of interest on
bonds in all western towns. There is
an almost universal feeling in favor of
this movement which will place in our
town an efficient system of waterworks
and electric lights. This was demon
strated at the polls last March by a
majority vote of POI, and in the can
vass of the town as taken last week for
the purpose of determining where
water and lights could be placed and
sold, the results are good. There is
no question whatever in the minds of
business men of Princeton who have
been interviewed and who have signed
the list as prospective consumers of
water and light, that this is what they
want and that the plant will be almost
from the start self-sustaining. Every
thing is in readiness to begin work on
the plant within a very few days after
the election is held, so that the work
can be completed this fall before the
season closes. The village has now
peerless water supply in the way of an
artesian we'll which has easy capacity
of exhausting 200 gallons per minute
of good water, soft and free from all
surface contamination. So far not one
dollar has been spent injudiciously.
Princeton is not unlike other towns

REASONS WHY
Princeton Should Wait Awhile Before It
Bonds Itself for Water Works.
H. O.. COONEY.

Princeton Should Wait Awhile Before 1t
Bonds Itself for Water Works.
To the editor: I wish to use some of
your valuable space this week to bring
some matters concerning the installing
of waterworks and electric light light
plant before the people for considera-
tion. A list has been circulated to Sc
cure the names Of those who will be
probable users and many have signed
it who have no idea of the expenses en-
tailed. In the first place there will be
an outlay of $50 for plumbing and in
many cases more. We have good
water and wells and this expense is un-
necessary. In towns where good water
cannot be secured it is different. The
writer has interviewed many whose
names appear on this list and most of
them say that they signed because if
Princeton was to be obliged to put in
waterworks they wanted the mains to
pass their door. Some of them are a
great distance from the proposed lines
and will not be able to get water be-
cause there will be no more money to
expend this time than before and if the
council couldn't extend the mains to
them last time, how can it now? An
other thing that has been harped on to
secure the laboring man s vote is that
the establishment of plant will furn-
ish work for a large number of home
laborers. A contractor informed me
that Princeton men would be employed
if they would work as cheaply as men
elsewhere would. A large number
must be experienced men, he said, and
the plant would be completed in from
80 to 60 days. Are our men going to
get into a ditch and shovel for IS cents
or $1.00 per day to enable the contrac-
tors to make a big profit on the job?
Are our labering men to tax them
selves for the next 20 years in order to
get months work at low wages this
fall? Why did the council go to all
the expense Of digging the we'll
before the bonds were sold? It doesn't
look like good business, but never
mind the WELL If we get out of it by
just paying for that we are lucky and
the well will keep. .....
Electric lights are nice enough but
are SO expensive that where gas can be
obtained it is used in preference. Peo-
pie living in cities where the rates are
much lower than we can expect here
do not use them and is it reasonable to
expect to see them used out here in the

unless. it is that it is more Of hustling
business place than the average town
OF ltss size, and not in one instance in
the Towns visited last spring by the
committee % [lr sent to investigate the prac-
tlcal workings Of waterworks and lights
IN small nal towns did they find a plant
th hat wa not growing in public favor,
and self-sustaining. So it will be here.
In the construction of this work as ad-
vertised last spring, home labor will
positively be used except in the few
instances ice where expert work is
required. This will furnish en-
ploylnent at home for a large
number of our working men this fall.
Everyone should be at the polls next
Monday between and P. M. and vote
for bonds. For the benefit of the few

These, and many others who have

ready to use and pay for water or light
as soon as they can get them. In the
canvass it is apparent that from the
very start a good revenue will begin tc
flow in and the question of the plant
not being self-sustaining is too absurd

JUST THINK IT OVER.
Water Works and Electric Lights
are Needed, But Can We At
ford Them at Present?
Let the Intelligent Voters of
Princeton Answer at the Bal
lot Box Next Monday.

The voters of the village Of Prince
ton villa be called upon TO decide by
their ballots next Monday whether or
not we are to have system of water
works and electric lights. The UNION
is not afraid to take a stand upon any
matter that affects the interests of our
town, and the UNIONS loyalty to
Princeton and it's material interests
cannot be questioned. The proposition
reads for $19, 900 at six per cent inter-
est; that means that 81, 40 must be
raised ANNUALLY for interest. How
about running expenses? The services
of two men will be required-and COM
petent men cannot be secured for less
than $50 per month; that means 81 200
more Fuel at low estimate will cost
$500 per annum. Breakages, repairs
and other Incidental expenses will foot
up three or four hundred more. It is
safe to assume that the interest and
running expenses will aggregate So, 000-
Now, has there been a canvass of the
village made to see how many have
guaranteed to take water and lights?
If so, how much has been guaranteed?
Call it $500. That leaves $4,000 to be
raised by taxation. The rate of taxa
ton in this village at present is 35.4
mills on the dollar. Surprising all the
Taxpayers paid their taxes promptly
an additional tax levy of oyer II mills
would be required to raise the $4,000.
But all taxpayers do not pay their
taxes promptly. Interest and running
expenses must be met, and in all proba-
bility it would require a levy of Is or
20 mills-call it 17.6 mills. Add 17.6
mills to 1914 mills and you have total
tax levy of So mills, or $3.50 on every
one hundred dollars worth of real and
personal property. These are plain
figures, and figures don't lie. Can the
taxpayers of Princeton village stand
an additional burden Of taxation just at
present? q
Another thing to be considered. On
what streets are the water mains to be
laid? Only small portion of the vii
lage can be covered. Is it fair to tax
those who have built up little homes
in the outskirts of the village for the
benefit of the property-owners on Main
and First streets?
Waterworks and electric lights would
be nice things to have, but can we af-
ford them at this time?
Voters of Princeton, think this
bonding proposition over carefully and
act intelligently. DO not be misled by
those who tell you the cost will be a
mere bagatelle to the individual tax
payer. If the bonds are voted and
negotiated the principal and interest
will have to be paid. There can be no
reputation. Shylock will demand his
pound of flesh. Think it over.

Reed & Sherwood have been putting
a new sidewalk across the block con-
tanning their lumber yard. w. F.
Chase has been experimenting the
job. Reed & Sherwood show credit
able public spirit for though the prop
erty does not belong to them they
were unwilling that the residents of
the West side should be compelled to
wade through sand and mud to get to
town and made this Improvement.
Reed & Sherwood are all right and
Princeton people appreciate them.
