Expert Jones has shown that a
suitable waterworks plant for the CT
ty of Roswell can be constructed for
$4,000. Can the city afford to bond
itself for that amount-and can it le-
gally do so? These are the questions
to be answered before municipal
ownership of such a plant can be
undertaken. Which is cheaper, int

deciding between private and munic-

have you to say upon these questions?

annexation. Tho committee adjourned

Suburban Development.

IN his address before the citizens meet
ing at The Bijou Theatre on Monday
night. Mr.. NJ. v. Richards referred to
The, wondrous developmentn the suburbs
Of Baltimore The remark was especially
interesting TO us, for the reason that
during a Visit 20 Baltimore several years
1 ago we were SO favorably impressed with
upon return we took up tho question With
"A Richmond and urged that the city con-
venicnccs be extended into the outlying
districts, especiallyin Leo District, which
was then totally undeveloped. The city
twas built compactly up to Lonibarly
4 Street--as far as the city eonveniences
extended-but there was no development
whatever beyond that line.
The articles attracted much attention.,
and citizens wrote communications. to the
paper. urging the Council to pursue the
course suggested Finally the conyc-
niences were extended, and within few
( years new city has been built In Lee
District. That the money expended by
Richmond in these improvement was a
good investment goes without saying
But lands In that section arc SO high that
the poor cannot afford to buy and build,
and what we now need is to take in
additional territory and encourage tho
building Of cheaper homes for those IN
moderate circumstances.
Much has been said about the cost OF
improving the districts proposed to be
taken in. For five years the revenue de-
rived from that source must be expended
in improvements but the city should not
do II all. The property owners them
selves should do their part That is the
course pursued In other cities ana 1t is

What Is Patriotism?

When II citizen OF any community gives
n goodly sum OF money to establish some

5bencfactor, ana all men sing his praises.
We would not disparage nor discourage
such bencfactlons, but 1t Is not tho whole
Of good citizenship 10 give money for

man with millions to give thousands for

sarily those who pay the largest taxes
a man must pay taxes whether he would
or not. There are many public spirited

Taxing Manufacturing Plants.

f5 dAll4S Observation-Disclosures ~ 1dlAlS. "A
Colonel William II. Palmer, who has
been closely identified With the business
and financial interests of this community
for years. said in his speech at the Bijou
Theatre Monday night that he knew u
number of cases where manufacturing
plants which had been retired from SER
vice We're sold for what they would bring,
and that the price obtained was less
!1Ean one-tenth the original cost Of the
machinery. Colonel Palmerssis very con-
| sentative i'm all his statements and no
citizen has higher sense of Justice. In
view OF these facts. however, he is sat
chinery OF manufacturing concerns upon
the basis of its cost. Machinery is val-
liable only when 1t is successfully ope-
rated, and It is successfully operated only
| when 1t has the direction Of an intelli-
gent man or set~of men who understand
their business. Even when thus opera ted,
because OF adverse conditions, 1t may he
| operated at loss, and, II SO, for the
time being at least, it is worse than use
less. One of the largest manufacturing
concerns in this community was operated
for several years n tn loss 10 its owners,
and If conditions then existing had con-
tinued It must inevitably have gone down
at last and the machinery which cost
hundreds Of 5tllousands. of dollars would
have brought the price Of junk.
1t cost u great deal 6f money to equip
| the shipyard which was operated for some
time in Richmond. but j proved to be an
Improbable venture, and had to shut
down. The machinery has not all been
disposed Of, hut 1t gees without saying
that it will bring in tho aggregate far
/ less than It cost. ..@ .,
I. II Richmond enlarges her borders and
takes in outlying territory,ain which man
ufacturing plants are situated, these facts
| will doubtless be taken into consideration
when 1.-The assessment of tho machinery is
made.
