The Water Question.

Editors of the Kennebec Journal:
In one of the circulars which have
been inflicted upon the voters of Au-
gusta recently, the writer expresses his
doubt that municipal ownership would
reduce rates. He evidently hadn't in
vestigated the experience of other
cities where the people own their own
water plants, and where in every in
stance the water rates are much lower
than those charged in this city.
Even if the rates remained the same,
7 am frank to say that I had rather
pay it into the Water District for the
benefit Of all the people, than into the
Augusta Water Company for the bene-
fit of a few stockholders. With owner
ship by the people the profits of the
plant will remain in Augusta for the
benefit of our people.
With the present ownership the bulk
of those profits go to Portland to be
divided among the controlling stock
holders. 1t goes out of circulation SO far
as the city Of Augusta is concerned. l
am strongly of the opinion that it is
best, whenever possible to keep our
money at home.
Ill you mortgage your Monies
historically shouts the youthful au-
thor of the water circular? Certainly
not. Nobody ever contemplated such
a thing. The present owners of the
Water Company are carrying Il large
Mortgage: but it Is not upon their
beautiful homes-no not at all. 1t is
upon the plant and was put there as
the security for the bonds that were
sold to get the money to build it with.
This mortgage does not appear to
have troubled the present owners of
the Water Company. l have heard of
no sheriff's sale of the property of any
one of them. They have been able to
get enough money out of the pockets
of Augusta taxpayers, to pay the in
terest on that mortgage-and divide
handsome dividends besides. If this
plant is such a precarious one, why do
they desire to hold on to it?
Circulars like these don't deceive or
brighten anyone. Agents of the Water
Company may shout wolf! wolf! to the
top of their voices; but the voters of
Augusta will vote yes" just the same.

Great Game, TODAY,

1t rather looks as if the first real
fight between Waterville and Fair
field would come off On the new
grounds, this afternoon. Thus far,
Fairfield has had an experimental ag-
gregation and has hardly expected to
win. But with one or two exceptions,
perhaps, the team, today, may be ex-
pected to be fully UP to the standard
and as capable of winning as Water
vile will be. 1t will he a fast team all
right. and one that need not ask any
quarters from Waterville. 1t is Lehey's
turn to pitch and he has shown him.
self to be a good man. With McGov-
ern behind the bat, Havey on first,
Leonard on second. Rawson at short
and Girard on third. the infield ought
to be good enough. With Allen, Wal
lace and Bucknam in the outfield, that
ought not to cause any worry. SO the
team will be in shape to win all right
and will come down after a scalp, as
sure as fate.
Watervile will be in condition once
more to meet the new team and try it
out. Britt will be back in his old po-
sition at first and Coombs will be in
the box Both sides will want this
game. as it viii tie the series if Fair
field wins, and give Watervil!e bet
