The Republican has published for +
the supporters of the Tempe water /
works bonds reasons why they should |
carry, and herewith publishes for those +
who oppose the bends their reasons
for such opposition.
The city council of Tempe has sub /
mitted to the citizens Of Tempe the |
following question. viz: shall Tempe
issue. $4,000 worth of six per cent .
bonds redeemable in thirty years for
the purpose Of constructing d system /
of water works for the town OF I
Tempe" The reasons the bends .
should not carry, are as follows :
First-Because the water WORKS +
would not be seIf-sustaining- Tempe /
is too small to support the system. lis
citizens while prosperous and happy
are in very ordinary circumstances,
and as every family in town has ac-
cess to a good well. many Of them
would not buy the water because they
do not need it. Others will not buy it
because there is no sewerage and they
object to creating fever-breeding cess
pools. Others will not take it unless
the landlord viii put the plumbing IN
the house and pay for the water land
reduce the rent. Some will not take
water mere because, if it is not gen
orally used it will stagnate in the
pipes, and they prudently prefer 10
wait until the g9od quality OF the
water has been established. and so it
goes. for one reason or another the ma
jority Of the people Will not buy the
water. A canvass Of the business
houses from the Gill block tc Andres
and from Friscb's saloon TO Ryder
lumber yard develops the fact that not
aver two of the business houses
viii buy water-no matter what the
reason is-the fact is, they won't buy
the water There are only about 100
families in town whc could BE- ex-
pected to take water. and out CT that
there are not over twenty r
who could be induced. even IN the heat
of the present contest. to sign a con
tract to take water for three years.
The expense CT operating the plant
will be large. The engineers salary,
fuel, repairs and the hundreds Of IN
