Ihe ire and water committee were
instructed at the meeting of the
town council last Monday night to
make an investigation as to the
probable cost of a stand pipe and
also OF a reservoir to replace the
water tank near the town hall,
which is getting old and by many
considered unsafe. There is but
one plan feasible to procure the
funds to make the changes neces-
sary and that is to bond the town
for the estimated amount necessary
10 extend the water privileges to
those who have been for years pay
ing their share of the tax without
any chance of protection whatso-
ever and to place the new stand
pipe or reservoir which ever may
be decided upon, on the highest
point contiguous to the town.
The $2500 for which the town is now
bonded is divided into two pay
ments becoming due in 1907 and
1912 respectively; therefore if
additional bonds are voted they can
be negotiated SO as to become due
and not conflict with the payment
of those now owing. At the rate
we are now paying on water tax the
amount now outstanding would be
almost it not entirely paid now if
provisions had been made to meet
their payment when the bonds were
first floated, this was overlooked
and it ran on without levy being
made for several years or until the
first payment was about due, since
| the levy it has been an easy matter
to meet the semi-annual interest
and accumulate surplus for the
payment of the first payment on the
bonds $1,000, which was promptly
met and a fair surplus is now
accommodating in the treasury ready
to meet the next payment, This
matter lies with the citizens of this
town. If they desire an extension
of the water system and are willing
to vote a tax for that purpose it viii
be done, for the council stand ready
and willing to fulfill the wishes o
the citizens in this matter. Our city
! fathers have heretofore managed
this matter to the best interests O
the town with the limited means a
their command outside of the towr
Bond Fund. Agitate this matter i
| you wish anything done and as WI
said before the council will act az
you decide subject to the bes
interests of the town.
