uKnINARY COMMON SENSE

Nearly one year ago the town OF
Moran voted $1,000 in bonds for the
purpose of prospecting for natural gas
and putting in city gas plant. The
bonds were voted under authority OF
the same act under when it is sought
to have lola vote bonds to purchase
the gas plant. Every precaution was
taken to have the proceedings com
ply strictly with the law, and the
vote i'm favor of the bonds was prac-
tically unanimous. But the bonds
could not be sold, simply because
capitalists doubted whether the law
under which they were voted would
stand if attacked in the courts.
1t may be that lola, with its eX-
cellent credit, could float $4,000 in
bonds. We doubt. however, il any
one will contend that this city could
float $50, 600.
1t is certain, then, that if we vote
$4,000 to buy the gas plant, we can
not for many years to come, vote $40,
900 more 10 build water works. AS
the matter stands, then, the people
will be forced to make choice next
Tuesday between the gas plant and
water works.
We say the people will be forced to
choose between gas and water works,
for the reason that so long as the
general utilitiesn act remains on the
statute books no private corporation
will put in water works. Three or
four parties have been here during
the past summer with view to
building water works, but when they
found that the laws of the State
limited their profits to per cent. on
the actual cost of their plant, they
promptly dropped the scheme, saying
that the prudent man would not in
vest large amount of money In such
a plant on so narrow margin OF
profit. 1t has heen demonstrated
that lola must build her own water
works or do without them; and much
az the REGISTER disbelieves in the
general. principle OF public ownership
the need Of water works is 80 i'm.
perative that 1t would take the
chances involved in city ownership
rather than do without them.
Since the alternative Is forced upon
us, then, of choosing either the gas
plant, or water works, which would
be the wisest choice?
The purchase Of the gas plant would
