Nov hcI

To the Editor. ! think the editorial
in the News and Observer of this morn
ing, in regard to the ownership of the
water-works by the city, is timely and
to the point. The present city admins
tration has been in favor of this PROPOSE
ton for sometime. and resolution was
introduced in the Board of Aldermen
about two years ago having this object
in view. A committees was appointed
under the resolution, and the matter
investigated.
1t was found that the city had made
a twenty year contract with the Raleigh
Water Company, and that it had the
privilege at the end of ten years, either
to purchase the Raleigh Water Compa-
ny's plant nj reasonable price. amount
to Sbc fixed by disinterested appraisers
or to build new plant. The first ten
year period of the contract has now
expired, and the city can at any time
avail itself of the privilege reserved
under this contract. The question now
is. shall the city of Raleigh own the
water works? This is in my humble
Judgment one of the most important
issues which has confronted our people
lot So1HetiIne. am Tree TO CONFESS tlat
my individual opinion is, that it would
be better for the people of the city.
il the wafer works plant was owned
and controlled by the city.
l believe that it would result in giving
cheaper and better water to our citi-
zens. The water supply of city ought
10 be abundant. and as free and as
pure as the air which we breathe. If il
is possible TO make it so. But there
must necessarily be some small expense
in providing for this supply, and this
cost should he kept down to the lowest
notch
am convinced that much good would
result in many ways from the ownership
by this city of its water works, and l
would suggest that the people express
themselves on this important question on
the, day of election in order that the in
coming Board of Aldermen may be adj
yised of their wishes and act accord
ingly.
A. NJ. POWELL
Mayor Powell is right. Sooner or
later the city must own and operate its
own water supply and light plant. The
sooner the better. Let the people think
upon these things and express their opin-
ion in the coming primaries.I
