LET US HAVE LIGHT
And Water-A Splendid Oppor-
tunity for the Twin Cities.


TIM Fl ERALD editor this morning
had an interesting conversation with
Civil Engineer John I. Smith, who
is here representing capitalists who
will construct a system of water
works and electric lights for
Brownsvills and Matamoros, If salts
factory arrangements can be con-
summated. Should such an agree
ment be made, the plant that It IS
proposed 10 put it here viii be the
equal in efficiency Of any plant in
the United States. Mr.. Smith says
the company he represents propose
putting in central station equipped
with all the necessary modern appa-
ratus to generate two Thousand 10
candle power inCandescens lights for
lighting the residences and business
hoases of the two cities, and also
one dynamo generating fifty arc
lights of 1000 candle power for
lighting the streets of the two cities.
Mr.. Smith estimates that the system
will furnish our citizens with cool,
safe convenient and efficient lights
at such rates as 10 be as cheap, if not
cheaper than the present oil light
ing. The cleanliness and great con-
yehieHCe OF electric lights, saving
the use or il1-srelling kerosene, the
trouble With smoking wicks and
bfeakage of chimfieys, will readily
recommend the electric fight to the
favor of honseteepers, while TO THOSE
who must read, study or work at
night nnder the roasting neat OF an
oil lamp, the cool, steady ray of the
incandescent light will prove an IN
valuable blessing.
Regarding the water plant, Mr..
Smith says, il will have a pumping
capacity of one and a half million
gallons per day. The water wiil be
purified in settling basins before be-
ing pumped into the mains and
standpipe. The stantl-pipe is to be
of such size as to furnish sufficient
pressure to easily put out any fire
which may occur in any cart az the
city. Five hydrants will be provid-
ed, so located as to thoroughly pro-
tect all city property. Water in all
quantities vii. be supplied TO res
licences at cost Of about 80 cents
per thousand gallons.
The conditions asked to secure
these plants are moderate and our
citizens should not fail to take sd-
vantage of this opportunity 10 secure
this gres' and much needed improve
fhent.
