Another Filipino Committee.

Washington, Oct. 3.-The following
is the dispatch of Otis, received rela-
tive to the visit of the insurgent Off
GERS: "Three insurgent officers were
permitted to enter our lines at Angeles
with twelve of our soldiers and two
citizens whom they wish to present as
released prisoners. Yesterday, in
conference they endeavored to present
a communication from the insurgent
government which was declined. Then
they presented a paper signed by ten
of the soldiers in which the soldiers
gave parole; this was received and
held in abeyance. The insurgents
then said tnat Aguinaldo desired to
end the war and send civil commits
sion for a conference, and were in
formed that it would not be received.
They will be sent beyond the lines to-
morrow. The whole affair is believed
to be a ruse to obtain some acl1nowl-
edgement by the United States author
tiles. The soldiers returned, were
stragglers from within our lines who
had been captured by robbers. They
say they were obliged to sign paroles
to secure their release, though two
refused to sign. The whole affair is
of no significance and is viewed as an
attempt at masquerading. OTIS"

Dallas, Texas, Oct. 3.-Last nights

Democrats from the west and south
west who have come to attend the car
niyal Democratic doctrine was ex-
pounded from half dozen platforms,
taking the morning, afternoon and
evening of yesterday, but many prom
inent party men who are here from all
parts of the country are yet to be heard
Today the crowds are larger and in
terest is heightened by programs of
oratory prepared for their entertain
ment. The state fair, usually the event
of the year in this section, has been
almost lost sight of in the political
demonstrations which were arranged

+ The fair grounds were crowded long
before the 10:30 hour, fixed for the
first speech this morning. The dollar
dinner at me Auditorium tonight will
close the carnival. A-uch is expected
of this affair in point of attendance
and enthusiasm, and it promises to be
a fitting wind-up to the two days cele-

WHAT WE SHOULD DO.


If the bonds are voted no more of
them than are necessary for the con-
struction of the water works will be
issued. If it is found that 100000 for
instance are sufficient for that purpose
then the interest would amount to only
$4,000 per year, but suppose the whole
issue of $150,000 is required then the
interest would amount to $4,000 per
year. A careful but liberal estimate
shows that the running expenses
would be less than 5000 per month
say $2,400 per year making
a total annual cost of $8,400
as against more than $4,000 annually
paid to the Aqua Pura Co. 1t is dill
ficult to see how saving of over S12,-
900 per year is to burden the tax
payer.

Venezuela Boundary Decision,

Paris, Oct. By the direction of
the Anglo-Venezuelan boundary arbi-
tration commission some of Great
Britain's claims as to the interior and
on the coast are disallowed. Her
frontier win start at the Waini river.
The award was unanimous. 1t is con-
sidered in the nature of compromise
rather than favoring Venezuela.
The award of the tribunal, briefly
summarized, means that of the 6C0,CJ0
square miles claimed by Venezuela,
that country obtains only 100000
formed partly Of marsh land near the
river BaTima and portion in the in
terror, while Great Britain retains all
of the forest country.

The ShinhuiIders, Strike.

Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-Seven hun
dred iron workers and ship builders
with about 200 helpe'si, went on a
strike today at the Cramps ship
yard, for working day of nine hours.
The ship builders include riveters and
caulkers, and the strikers say that
the action of these men and boiler
makers, will practically tie up the en-
tire plant. Machinists and black
smiths, numbering nearly 200 have
been on a strike for several weeks.

Co. annually charges 1,625. The city
is in urgent need of more fire protec-
tion and proposes to put in seventy
ave hydrants. The water rates on
these alone at the rate now charged
by the Egua ,Pura Co. would amount
to $i,875 pex.Year, or only SLIPS less
than the invest ON the entire issue
Of bonds; but even if the Aqua Pura
Co. were willing to make a reason
able price, for hydrant water they
have not got and cannot obtain suffl-
cient water for. sucn a system of fire
protection as the city needs and pro-
poses to have
a sewer system of some kind is
one of the necessities and certainties
of the near future, this again demands
water, as sewers without ample water
for frequent fusnlng are worse than
cess POOLS At the rates the Aqua
Pura are now charging for hydrant
service the water for flushing an ade-
quate sewer system for the business
part of the city would be more than
$4,000 per anpum. This added to the
water rates for hydrants would amount
to at least $7,825 or only $525 per year
less than it would cost the city for in
terest and running expenses.
The Aqua Pura supplies a part only
OF the city. 1t has altogether less
than six miles of pipe. Nearly half of
this is one and two inch pipe, the bal
ance consisting of three, four and six
inch pipe. Much of the pipe is so
small as to be of but little or any prac-
tical use. The circulation is poor, the
pressure light, the water dirty, the
supply inadequate.
On the other hand the city proposes
to put in twelve and one half miles of
pipe Of proper and adequate size, to
provide it with by-passes and all mo-
dern appliances; make no charge for
taps, making ample provision for irri-
eating all parks and sprinKIing the
streets and to provide such fire pro-
lection as will result in a very material
reduction in insurance rates and in
cidently 1t. might be remarked that a
twenty-five per cent reduction in in
surance rates would more than pay.

We confidently expect fifty per cent
reduction. Between the two systems
the contrast is so great as to need no
comment.

WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING.

The citizens of East Las Vegas are
now paying the Aqua Pura Co. more
than $1S,500 per year aside from the
water used for fire purposes which in
cludes twenty-five hydrants at a cost
of 81 ,625, making total of $21,125 per
year. The city has been rapidly
growing for several years and no
doubt will continue to grow and while
the revenue of the old company has
increased as the city grows and will
continue to increase as the city con-
tinues to grow there has been no cor
responding reduction in water rates, no
increase in the supply or improvement
in the quality of the water or service
and no additional fire protection; the
entire energy of the company has been
absorbed in issuing per cent bonds
on inflated values and paying divi-
dends on an over issue of stock.
Indiscreet friends of the Aqua Pura
Co. have sometimes denied that the
revenue of the company was as large
as here stated, but thorough and care
full investigation show the above fig
ures to be very conservative. The
company has been frequently urged to
submit it's books for public inspection
but always has, and still does, refuse
to do so. If the above figures were
not correct how easy for the company
to disprove it,

RATES AND WATER SUPPLY.

The cheapening OF a commodity
always increases its use, with rates re-
duced from 40 to so per cent the num-
ber Of taps will be greatly increased,
an additional impetus will be given to

HOW WILL YOU VOTE.

Their main argument is that the
burden of taxation will be increased
the solicitude of grasping monopoly
for the overburdened tax payer is al
ways open to suspicion. If the solicit
tude of the Aqua Pura Co. is genuine
and of long standing why has it not
manifested itself years ago in reduced
water rates and better service? But
to the facts.
First. Municipal taxes will not and
cannot be increased one particle. The
legal limit of taxation in the city Of
Las Vegas is ten mills on the dollar
and this limit was reached years ago.
This is a positive, absolute, legislative
limit and cannot be exceeded by the
city for any purpose or in any manner.
Second. If however, the power to
tax was absolutely unlimited, there
would be no necessity for an increase.
The city's proposed system, with wa
ter rates reduced to nearly one half
the rates charged by the Aqua Pura
Co. would not only pay interest and
running expenses but would create a
sinking fund equal to the amount of
bonds issued long before the bonds
are due.

WHO OPPOSES THE BONDS.

1t is quite apparent that the only
real opposition to be encountered is
from the Aqua lura company and it's
personally interested friends and
while this alone perhaps ought to be
sufficient to determine your vote, we
desire to call attention to the specific
facts of the case and to the alleged
arguments of the opposition.
Las Vegas daily optic. [volume] (Las Vegas, N.M.) 1880-1908, 1899-10-03
To the citizens of Las Vegas:

10 the CltlzenS VI Las vegas.
The coming election which is to be
held on October 5th, 1899, is to deter
mine by your vote whether the city of
Las Vegas shall authorize the issue of
$I50,0O0 of thirty year four per cent
bonds for the purpose of owning its
own water system.
1t is to determine q question of bus
mess and finance and while I is the
duty of every citizen to be progressive,
liberal and public spirited, neverthe
less when it comes to a question of
creating a public debt and issuing
bonds, it is his right and perhaps his
duty to consult to some extent his own
personal private interest. If it should
so happen that his personal interest
and advantage was in exact accord
with a progressive and public spirited
move, then there ought to be no diff
Guilty in determining his course. In
other words, if after investigation, he
should find that the voting of these
bonds would not only be great public
benefit but would also be a means Of
actually reducing his burdens and saw
ing his money, it is safe to assume his
vote would be in the Affirmative. A
firm belief that such results would
follow the bond issue in question is
our apology for these pages.
