Have we less enter prise than Morrilton or Russell vile, both of which cities have un. dertaken the construction of water works during the past few months!
 Who will be the first ten citi- zens to ask the city council to un- dertake the work? The council cannot begin it upon its own init iative. The petition has beer framed and is ready for signatures. Once properly signed, the way fo, the preliminary steps IS formed. Will you sign it? Will you be one to take the first step9

LET Us TAKE THE FIPS7
 STEP.

In The Log Cabin Democrat of the past two weeks there have been editorial articles in favor of the establishment of system of waterworks and sewerage in the city of Conway. The first article was intended to suggest the need of this improvement from from a standpoint of health. The advan- tages to be gained here, while very apparent, cannot be measured in dollars and cents-the health and lives of our citizens are without price. And yet the actual money saving in preventing loss of time from work on account of sickness, doctors bills and funeral expenses, though it would be difficult to es- innate, would be large.
 In the second article it was en- deavored to show what waterworks as protection against fire would actually be worth to the city. It was then stated that the insurance carried in Conway approximates $75o, 900, on which we pay annual premium of about $I4, 900; that the saving in the matter of insur- ance premiums would amount to $2625 per year; that not more than one-half of the value of the city's property is insured against fire, and, therefore, the real saving from this source would amount to at least $525o year; that this saving capitalized at six per cent would be $S7, 500, the amount which we would be justified in expending at the present time for waterworks as a protection against fire.
 The two articles have suggested considerable thought about the matter of waterworks. The ques- ton, however, with which we are continually confronted, IS, Where are we going to get the water It is feared by some that If we are forced to go to the Arkansas river for water, the expense would be so great that revenue sufficient could not legally be raised Ill the city. The state laws provide that no inn provement shall be undertaken by city. the cost of which is more than twenty per cent of the assess ed valuation of the real property in such city.
 Many people are inclined to be- lieve that sufficient supply of wa ter could be obtained from deep wells. If this is possible the wa ter would be purer and every way more desirable than the river wa ter besides saving cost of prob ably thirty or forty thousand dol lars in piping from the river to town. While we believe water should be obtained at any cost, 1t

is gaining favor every daythe you think about it the planer isthat is the only way business can be done with exact fairness to everyone
 Under the Spot Cash System the merchant can sell at a small profit because he has losses from failure to collect and does have add 5 or 20 per cent extra to cover the losses which occur he sells on a credit.
 If you wish to avoid paying this extra per cent get on the cash system and buy only where goods are sold for Spot Casl-you will save money, trouble and friendship.

would doubtless be the best policy to expend few thousand dollars in sinking deep wells, as an initial step. So far as we know, no wells around Conway have been sunk to depth of more than five or six hun dred feet. I. may be that at one thousand or two thousand feet a bountiful supply of artesian water can be secured Before any work is undertaken, however, we must obtain estimates and plans and specifications for waterworks
 But even these experimental or
 preliminary steps will entail con- siderable expense, 10 meet which some means must first be provided. To do this, we offer the following suggestions:
 Let ten resident property owners sign petition to the city council to take steps toward the establishment of an improvement district embrac- ing the entire limits of the city of Conway. for the purpose of constructing and maintaining a system of waterworks in the city. When this is done it becomes the imperative duty of the council to pass Ian Ordinance creating such an improvement district. If with in three months after the passage and publication of such an ordin- ance a majority in value of the owners of real property i'll the city shall petition the council that such improvement be made, the the council shall at once appoint three resident owners of real prop erty as an improvement board. Immediately after their appoint ment it becomes the duty of this board to form plans for the con- struction of the improvement and to procure estimates of its cost. For this purpose the board may employ engineers and provide for their compensation. In our case, if the board found that to obtain water from the Arkansas river would be beyond our means, 1t could proceed to drill wells as sug- gested above, and if, for any reas- on, the project had to be abandon ed, the statutes provide that the cost of all the preliminary steps may be taxed against the real prop erty in the district and collected just as if the improvement had been carried out as contemplated in the formation of the district. Thus, if no water could be obtain ed except at a cost beyond our ability to pay, the comparatively small cost of the preliminary work would be only light burden equal ly distributed by taxation for one or two years upon the real proper ty owners of the city.
 But let us not give up until it is clearly shown that the work can not be done. Let us not say i'm possible until we knoW that water works for Conway is impossible. Let us take the first step. Will as many as ten progressive citizens of the city, owners of real property, come to The Log Cabin Democrat office and sign petition to the council, asking for the establish ment of waterworks improvement district?
 As suggested last week the cit ies and towns all over the state are making rapid strides in municipal improvement. Will Conway fall in line in the march of progress, or will it be content to be slothful

enough to allow for its growth, addt-

have sOUu ueprN Ell the young men OF

limited to a very small area the space

consideration as the young men. With
The area of fifty acres now at the In>ti-
