INFORMATION TO ALL INTERESTED.
Now Is the time to put in your water works
as the supply Of arteslan water is plentiful.
Besides, If you wait until next spring when
every one wants water works at the same
time, you m ay be greatly Inconvenience by
having to walt longer than you would like.
We have been asked whether or not the COM
missioners CT the water works will make the
same charge for water the following years as
now, to which we reply (aher talking win
them) the CO commissioners have already shown
by their extremely low price that they 90 not
wish 10 oppress any one. AT the same time
the system must be selfsustaining, and then
what surplus cash is over will 90 toward pay
ing interest and retiring bonds. They nave
made the present charges for water upon the
very lowest basis, far below that OF Green
willie, Sparta nburg, Asheville, N. g., or New
berry; and OF course II the price now charged
proves insu ufficent to iefray expenses, then
an additional or larger levy will be made af-
ter the first year, but always as low as possi-
ble SO put in your water works and take
your chances with others.
