TO BUY IN THE WATER PLANT.
Anacortes Mayor Recommends Issue
of Bonds for the Purpose.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Inteligencer
ANACORTES May 22-At a meeting
of the city council last evening, Mayor
Thomas presented a message recommend
ing the issuance of $4,000 of per cent
bonds for the purpose of purchasing tho
plant and property of the Anacortes
Water Company and making repairs and
extensions thereto. The council was ia
vorable to the recommendations, and an
ordinance was introduced and passed to its
second reading: which will IL finally
the question to a vote of the people.
Should the vote of the people be favor
able the water bonds will be the first
ever issued by the direction of the city
of Anacortes.
The plan outlined in the mayors mes
sage is to issue $40 900 of water bonds. of
company's property. The company owns
the water rights of Heart lake, wt&,h
Is situated two and one-half miles back
Of town, and at the foot of Mount Erie,
the highest peak of Fidalgo island, and
which rises 1.iO0 feet above tide water.
The lake is deep, is about mile long
by half a mile wide and lies at an eleva-
ton of 347 feet. The company also owns
a tract Of land on the outskirts of town,
on which they have a reservoir of half
million gallons capacity. This reser-
voir is at an elegation of 240 feet, and is
connected with Heart lake by fourteen
inch wood pipe line mile long. AL
together there are about $4,000 feet of
mains of various sizes. ranging from six
wood or spiral steel. There are a num-
Der of fire hydrants and rights-of- way
through various unplatted tracts of land.
and also, of course the general fran
chse under which the company operates
After paying $500 for the property and
rights of the water company, II is pro-
posed to renew part of the old system and
materially extend II, so that II will better
reach the water front of the city that is
most suitable for mills and factories.
Some of the present mains are in bad re-
pair, and the fact that the company could
not be induced either to make extern
sions or repairs brought about the me-
gotiations which have resulted in the
company Offering to sell at the price
stated
The question Is the most vital one that
has been before the city for some years.
on the one hand is the prejudice against
issuing bonds. while on the other hand
II is clear that the water system is In
adequate for present needs; that 1t Is
gradually falling into greater decay and
that the present owners decline TO make
the repairs and extensions which the
people seem 20 believe necessary for the
success and prOsDeritV of the CITY
