The present taxable valuation of Che town of NoQaIes does not re9eh one million dollars Four per cent of that sum is sl00O0. Then to bond the town to build water system would realize less than forty per cent of the money requir- ed for the purpose.
 But with the necessary money available, where will the water supply be secured2 Surely not from Sonora, for the water com pany already has all available sources there. Not from the Santa Cruz river, because prior rights of ranchers who use the water for irrigation, would be apt to prevent an adequate supply. Beside that the general government has reserv- ed already all water in that ri~er not appropriated.
 Others say "let the municipality develop artesian water for a supply" But that would be an experiment, would require time, and expense, while its success is problematical.
 And what will the people be do- ing for water all the time that will be required to raise money for a municipal system, and install the liant? What will be the cost of Insurance2 What will be the loss and inconvenience?
 All the foregoing are proposi- tions that should have been raised and answered clearly by the gentlemen in the municipal council, before preclpltatlng the Issue now facing the town.
 People in authority, and those who support them, should recollect that an adequate water system, to the wants of a growing town in an arid region, is work that cannot be brought to periec- ton in a day. It is a matter for time and development. The No. gales Water Company has taken hold of that work in good faith. It has planned a system that will be first class in every particular, and fully adequate to the needs of a city of 25,000 people. The com pany has invested its money in good faith, and has expended it right here. The wise way would be to preserve harmonious rela-

MODERATION THE PART OF WISDOM.

As stated in these columns last week, the municipal council of the Town of Nogales has cancelled the contract with the Nogales Water Company for water for fire protec- tion. So far as THE OASIS has observed there is universal ap- proval of the actionl taken. So much for that.
 As all well know, the fact that any public act, or any course of public policy, meets with public approval, even though 1t be unanimous, has been never a deterrent to THE OASIS in the matter of discussion of that act or course of policy. And, although it be the very height of unpopularity, this journal will here proceed to state few facts in this connection, ask a few ques- tions, and draw few conclusions.
 FIRST: The Town ot Nogales contracted with the Nogales Water Company for a period of five years, for supply of wate2 for fire pro- lection, the remuneration for the service to be fifty dollars per month.
 SECOND: At the Termination of the period named, the contract could be extended another five years at the option of either party.
 THIRD: The contract provides that in making the necessary in- stallation of pipes and mains the water company shall leave the streets in good repair.
 FOURTH: The water company failed to haul away some rock, that had been left upon the surface after new main had been laid.
 FIFTH; The water committee notified the water company that it had failed to remove the rocks, and demanded that they be re- moved, or the town would remove them.
 SIXTH: The water company ex- pressed a willingness to pay the cost to which the town might be put in removal, and the rocks were removed by the town cart.
 SEVENTH: That omission on the part of the water company was made the basis of the motion, adopted by the town board to can eel the contract with the water company.
 Right here THE OASIS will sug- gest that perhaps 1t is question of law whether the act of omission by the water company was viola tion of one Of the terms of the con- tract which would justify cancella- tion. The very offer of the water company to pay the town for re- moval of the rocks might be con- strued in court to be a fulfllment of that part of the contract. Had the town teudered the water com pany a bill, and had the water company refused to pay, then there might have been ground for cancel latlon of the contract which a

sucl by lLa town board perfectly legal. 0i which there ome doubt. wherein h8 there been gained anything by the nasty action taken2 What was the main object Of the fire protection granted by the contract with the water com- pauy2 Cheaper insurance.
 What is the result of the action taken by the board? The town is without fire protection.
 What will be the probable result of that? Either a cancellation of all insurance or a raise in rates that will be practically prohibi- tory.
 What would be the result should a fire break out on Morley avenue and sweep the street, with the in- surance all cancelled? Every busi- ness man in Nogales would be made a pauper.
 What has been the saving in the cost of insurance alone in the prop erty along Morley avenue, by the contract with the water company? Upon one property that THE OASIS can mention the owner admits that his saving is $200 per annum. At the least calculation the saving to all the business men along that street will amount to $4,000 to 5000 per annum. That Is the saving they have made by the re- duction in rates that was brought about by the improvement made in the water system a couple of years ago. Very few of those busi- ness men realize it, but that is their gain from that contract with the water company. When the Pacific Board of Underwriters orders the rates restored to the old figure, or even higher, they will re- alize what the cost will be to them of the action of the town board, against which this protest is raised.
 THE OASIS opines that before so sweeping a move the municipality should have stopped to consider the results of the action taken, and the possible remedies. Property holders have paid taxes for fire protection, and this act in sweeping 1t away, without provid- ing a substitute, Is something that this paper thinks will make prop erty holders very sore when they realize all of the consequences to follow.
 Can the town government com pei the water company to give fire Not without new contract.
 But, say some of the supporters of the action taken, "We can make the water company take up their mains, if they fail to come to our terms"
 Can they? Immediately every one needing water for culinary or avatory purposes would crowd | nto the courts to enjoin removal of the mains or cutting off the water.
 But admit that they could com, pei the water company to remove its mains from the streets and go put of business. Where would the | people get the water needed?
 Let the town build a water 3ystem," say some.
 But how?
 Where will the town get the money? By issuing bonds," is he reply of some.
