The Town That Runs Itself.

Silyerton. Colo, June 13.-This vii
lage of . 900 people Is popularity known
throughout the corntry as the town
that runs itself" It's citizens have
paid no city taxes more than doz-
an years. yet the town Is one OF the
most PROSPEROUS n Colorado, and last
year had an income of more than Sl'.
900 above all running expenses.
Its entire revenues come from liquor
licenses and water and light rentals,
and the success Nf municipal owner
ship hero Is such that the citizens
would nol 90 back to the era Of pri-
vate public service corporations under
any circumstances Two years ago the
local lighting plant was purchased
from the corporation which owned II.
Last year il showed gross income

water rentals during the same period
was $lO.OO9.47, and from saloon licen-
ses $14,122. The total receipts from
all sources were Si9.S59. 40 an actual
surplus over the towns running CXpen.

surplus was expended Ill duulllOhS "
the towns water system, which is val
ued at approximately $4,000. The
lighting plant is appraised at $4,000.
The latter Is now furnishing four times
the amount of current produced at the
time of its purchase by the city two
years ago, the abnG NAL increase being
due to the exceptionally low price of
current. Light rentals and water rent
ais are lower than in any other city
in the west, the minimum charges be
ing $l.50 per month, with meter SER
vice. subject TO \ discount of % per
cent il paid when ITe. The discount on
water rental is Is per cent.
Under the charter, the mayor and
the aldermen act as a board of man
ayers for both the water and lighting
plants. Not a breath of scandal has
ever tainted their efforts in this dl-
rectlon, hough it is recognized here
that a change in the statutes which
would take the matter entirely out of
politics, would he AN Improvement on
the present system.
