THE FUTURE BROWNSVILLE

Soon there will be all kinds of
grafters, schemers, ICON" men, etc.
coming to Brownsville with plans
and propositions to the city for
franchises and special privileges.
OF course there will be numerous
gentlemen with legitimate and fair
and honest propositions also; in
fact, several of these have already
put in their appearance. Really, we
do not know that any of the first
and adventurous class have yet
undertaken to "bilk" the city coun-
ell, ard we trust that none will at
tempt It. Not that we have any
fears as TO the capability and in
clination of the council to cope
with men with gratis, but it would
be better that they should be re-
'lieved OF the bother and waste of
time with such schemes.
The city council will soon have
to get busy in earnest, and it will
have no time to waste in attending
fish and oyster dinners (without
the fish and OYSTERS at the Point
at the time of regular meetings.
Gentlemen, you will soon have to
quit your time-old and pleasant
SieSta and remain awake all day.
The city's interests will soon be
immense" to use the stock phrase
of well-know citizen, and the
people will expect much Of you.
When men Of energy and capital
and ambition come to this city
there will he a mighty shaking mp
of the old order of things. The dry
bones will rattle and the hide
bounds will loosen up astonishing
ly. Life no longer will bean eternal
day-dream. The drowsy, narcoticin-
huence of existing conditions will
give place to the quickening, soul
stirring impulses of modern, twen
tieth century life Mahana with its
eternity Of pul-eless purposes and
unfinished deeds will be succeeded /
by an everything, ever-present day, !
big with hope and inspiration and !
in achievement.
There will be those who will not
relish the new order of things. To
them we shall say, the world is
wide, Mexico is near by, drilling"
is easy and you will have our con-
sent to "hot foot" it into the interior
Of the republic to the south, where
time runs backward and the natives
gambOl in Edenic ignorance and
innocence.

FOR CITY WATER WORKS.

in the municipal ownership of pub
lie utilities, especially the water
work system. 1t is fact, which
only casual observation will beal
out. that all American cities which
have granted franchises to private
corporations for waterworks systems
have soon or later come squarely
face to face with the alternative OF
suffering from a shortage Of water
at ruinously high prices indefinite
ly, or else vote to take the matter
over unto the city and run the
waterworks under official manage
ment as the police department and
FIRE department are run.
Invariably the results have been
the same in all cities, where the
experiment Of granting the water
works franchise to private parties
has been tried. The logic of the
proposition is incontrovertable in
favor of public ownership Of the
waterworks. Naturally men invest
capital in waterworks plant to
make a profit. After the plant is
established and in operation, then
the management studies to econo-
mize on every source Of expense-to
make their profit as great as pos
sible, of course.
The plant may be large and
costly and equipped with the latest
machinery; everything in the way
of buildings and appliances may
be frst-class and modern in every
particular, and the owners and as
sistants may be courteous, refined
people and ornaments to the city's
social life; but nevertheless, the
chances are 10 to l that the dis
tribution OF water will not be
Satisfactory, either to the city or to
its individual business houses and
private homes, nor the price reason
able.
The waterworks company will
economic in every detail of its
business. 1t must of necessity do
so. To pump up given quantity
of water means a certain expense
to the company. Hence in furnish
ing water, the supply is economical
as closely as the patronage will
stand for without resorting to the
use of dynamite If the city con-
tracts for water to flush the streets
and sewers, the company will be
very careful to supply no more
and usually barely as much-than
is specified, although that quantity
may be-and it generally is-in-
And it is the same with private
houses. The tax is ALWAYS placed
at the maximum and the service at
the minimum. In some cities in the
South we have seen beautiful flower
gardens at private homes, and .
ofthem were bare. glisten-
ing sand beds in the yards. The
indicated the financial
status of the families, and it showed
also that the waterworks in those
cities are owned by private com
panies. The tax being so excessive
that only the very wealthy can
afford to have shaded and flower
grown yards. In many cities we
nave been told that the water tax
vas nearly equal every year to the
Jctual value of the garden on which
he water was used. $
no city on earth could have
superior flower gardens to Browns !
