Communication.

10 the Editor o. the Herdfd
Apropos to the special town-meeting
to be held next week, will you kindly
allow me to point out some of the adj
vantages to town in owning its own
water supply system.
The town of Fairhaven in Rutland
county, where lived for several years,
is a good illustration of what can be
done in that direction. Fairhaven has
water supply system which was put in,
| think about twenty-four years ago.
The supply is drawn from Inman pond.
four miles from the village in ten
inch main. The population of the vii
lage by the census of 1900 is 1899,
probably just about double that OF Island
Pond. When the system was first
installed the village issued bonds to the
amount of $4,000, and the rate of in
terest as we'll as the cost of construction
must have been considerably higher in
1880 than it is at the present time. Sub
sequently in order to complete the
system and extend it to the portion of
the village lying on the south side of
the Poultney river, the village issued
additional bonds to the amount of $l4,-
900, making the total Indebtedness of
the village on account of the water
system $4,000. Since the system was
completed, the water rates, which are
lower than any we have ever had in
Island Pond, have paid the interest on
the bonds and reduced the principal to
$4,000. Now this year the village has
again issued additional bonds to the
amount of 1884 1000, raising them again
to $4,000, and is putting in sewer
system for the whole village, allowing
the inhabitants to connect their waste
pipes with the sewer free of charge.
The management estimates that the
addition of baths and water closets in
connection with the sewer, will so in.
crease the net amount of money received
from the present water rate, which is
not to be increased, will reduce the bonds
much faster than before. This is what
one town has done. Morrisville and
Lyndon will tell essentially the same
story. In fact | have yet to learn of any
town in Vermont or elsewhere, owning
water system that would consent to
part with it.
There are very few business enter,
prises that municipality can Legitimate,
ly engage in. Its water system it can
own, and that with great advantage to
every individual inhabitant. 1t seems
to me therefore that no one who has the
best interest of his municipality at heart
would seek to prevent it from owning its
own water system, if the majority of the
citizens desired it.
