A Desperate Argument for the Bonds

1t might be interesting to know what
hidden reason there is for the desper-
ate determination Of few men to sad
ole the water bonds on the city at all
hazards. Finding that the tide has
turned against them and that the con-
servatism and common sense OF the
business element have raised a general
opposition to this useless debt the
statement is being made by the bond
push that the bonds won't be issued
If voted; they'll just be held over the
head CT the water company until it
completes its improvements, and then
the matter will be dropped"
This is one more proof OF the queer
belief that the people Of Phoenix must
be extraordinarily dull
Any citizen who has been inclined
to listen to this specious excuse for
voting the bonds should remember
this: The call for the election to be
held tomorrow is mandatory in its
terms. If the proposition gets the nee
essary two-thirds ma jority. the city
council must issue the bonds-they
have not particle of discretion in the
premises. as alleged.
The time to stop the foolishness. Is
row. If citizens dc not wish to place
blanket mortgage on their property for
mortgage which viii call in principal
and interest for for the payment of
Six Hundred and Seventy-five Thcus-
and dollars in cash-they will vote to-
morrow against the bond proposition.
Arizona republican., 1903-12-11

Any water main laid in Phoenix soil
and carrying Phoenix water for ten
years, will he so rotten at the end OF
that time that the slightest pressure
will burst it. If the city of Phoenix
votes to issue Three Hundred ThCu and
dollars in bonds for a water system,
it will have to pay Six Hundred ana
Seventy-five Thousand dollars in pri
cipal and interest, and long before the
maturity of the debt will have to make
another bond issue to renew the plant.
Soil and water here make this one of
the places in the world where it is
best to let private water company do
the walking.
Arizona republican., 1903-12-11
Tucson as an Example.

One of the most absurd features de-
veloped in the bond campaign has
been the dragging of Tucson into view
as an object lesson for Phoenix voters
1t is stated-and truly, no doubt-that
the waterworks plant in Tucson, which
is owned by the municipality, yields
a net profit to the city.
But what possible bearing can that
have on the question before Phoenix ?
Not only are the rates in Tucson
higher, but there is only one water
works system supplying the town.
There is no basis on which to make
deductions.
But let US suppose that the condi-
lions prevailing here were duplicated
in Tucson. Let us suppose that Tue
son had a system of waterworks
owned by the city and another system,
equally good owned by private COM
pany, and. both systems competing for
Arizona republican., 1903-12-11

the patronage of the water consumers.
Does anybody outside the insane asy-
lnrn suppose that under such condi-
lions Tucson could get within seeing
distance of profit on her water
works? The city wouldn't get half
the business. because the city could
not make the concessions that a pri-
vate company could make. In order
ia earn it's interest sinking fund.
operating expenses and so forth. the
Tucson plant would have to charge
high rates for water and continue to
increase the price as customers left it
and went to the private company.
1t might be worth while to make
comparisons. If the situation here had
parallel elsewhere. 1t would be in
teresting to hear that there was
another town In the world which, hav-
ing a contract with private company.
proceeded to bond itself for TIE DELHI
crate purpose of entering into COM
petition with that company. Such
proposition was never before con-
ceived outside OF bedlam.
In fairness. 1t is not relevant to cite
either Tucson or Prescott as examples
for the instruction of Phoenix. Tue
son gets a profit out of her plant. by
charging high rates. Prescott gets q
deficit aD charges still higher rates.

A Horrible Discovery.

I 1t appears that a Jealous. active
committee OF two or three patriotic
/ citizens has rnaee a horrible Giscov-
cry. A piece of pipe-new pipe mind
you-thrown away by the Pcoenix
Water company was found to be de-
! fectiye. This precious piece, duly
/ broken W and passed around IN sec
tions is pointed to as a frightful OBJ
iect lesson. Behold the kind of .na-
terial that is going into the new
mains!"
Unfortunately for the enterprising
gentlemen who are pointing to this
piece OF pipe as proof that duplicate
system of waterworks would be good
investment for the town. any man who
uses the said piece of pipe as an argu-
ment merely makes Ditiful exhibition
of his own ignorance Men capable OF
reasoning a little would see that the
very rejection of this piece of material
by the water company is evidence that
defective pipe Is not used. Out Of ali
the great quantity of pipe which has
been shipped in during the past few
months. one section was found to be
defective at one end. and the same was
cut off and thrown away-where it was
found by the committee. Of
course. anybody who knows anything
of cast-iron pipe knows that occasion.
ally. there may be a faulty casting,
just as occasionally an armor plate is
found imperfect. But nobody but Il
lunatic would pay a high price for
such pipe. pay freight on it. and lay ii
in the ground in order that water
pumped at heavy expense might leak
through it.
And this wonderful pipe discovery
is about as important, and is about as
good argument for two water plants |
as would be the discovery that the |
Phoenix Water company itself is OPP
posed to the bond scheme.

Exchanging a Benefit for a Burden

How would the people CT Phoenix
like to lose the Tonic road in order to
get a duplicate system of waterworks!
That is exactly what probably will
happen If the bonds are voted for the
waterwcrks-it will be impossible to
get the read.
II the road is constructed the money
for the purpose must be obtained by
the sale OF city bonds in the bond mar
Kets. But what broker will think OF
buying the road bonds when he finds
that the city is bonded beyond its Dor
rowing ability? Any banker, or any
body at all familiar with the bond mar
ket will vouch for the fact that when
water bonds to the amount OF Three
keted this city VIII be loaded down
TO the water line" in more senses than
one. There will. in fact, be no market
for additional bonds. Bends for the
Tonic road cannot be sold. according
TO expert authorities OF the subject, if
ahead of the road securities there is
the debt which 1t is proposed to create
tomorrow Los Angeles. with Infinitely
more credit than Phoenix. struggled
two years before she found a market
for her latest bond issue--because OF
her debts.
Phoenix is already in debt to the ex-
tefit of $4,000. The demand for city
variants is slow and weak. What will
the credit of the city be when in adj
ditioh to this present debt OF $4,000,
there is an additional debt OF 100000
for useless and losing water plant?
And where will that credit be when Of
eials go iAto the market and try to sell
bonds fer the Tonic road on top of
this debt Ct $4,000?
The business men of the city-and all
citizens in fact--are looking forward
to the many advantages that vii ac-
crue to the community because OF the
road to the reservoir. The benefits to
be gained from the freight traffic will
make up an insignificant part of the
value of the read. At least a million
dollars will be paid out in wages dur !
ing the construction of the dam. With !
a good road between the valley and the !
dam, as proposed, and with the men |
paid off here, Phoenix. Tempe and !
Mesa will get all the secondary bene- !
fits from the disbursement of this ;
great sum, because the workmen will |
spend most of their wages here.
1t will be fine business sagacity. will
it not, to create tomorrow crushing
debt for something we don't need. and
thereby bar the town from getting
something it does need?
Are these serious questions to be
answered by saying Tell with the
water company"
The fanaticism which demands that
the water bonds be voted tomorrow
would demand the destruction of the
town to CRAFTY prejudice.
But can the people who pay the taxes
afford to adopt the policy proposed? Is
every business man in town getting all
the business he wants or needs? Are
times good enough? Shall we say
Tell with the Tonic Eoad?"

Serious Questions.
plant

Should the city build wtter system
it would do no more than lay the
mains in the streets. Each property
owner who desired to buy water from
the city instead of the Phoenix Water
company. would have to connect his
house with the city's mains at his
own expense. just as he did in making
connections with the water company
mains. To make the tap" and con.
meet with the city mains will cost each
house not less than 50, and from that
to SIS. How many little property
owners. when offered inducements by
the water company, viii refuse to
leave the company and go to the ex-
pense of connecting with the city
mains in order to pay the same rates
or higher rates to the city? And how
many property owners will shrewdly
go to the expense of making house
connections with both systems, in or
der to play each plant against the
other in getting rates?
These vital questions. all bearing
upon the problem of avoiding enor-
nous loss in operating a competing
city plant. are studioIsly ignored by
the advocates of the bonds.
