To the Voters of Roswell:

We. the Undersigned taxpayers n
residents of the City of Roswell, hav-
ing carefully considered the terms
of the franchise for the installation
of a water. system, prepared by the
City Council, and offered to Messrs.
Chipley and Reynolds, have determin-
ed:
That said franchise is by its terms
as favorable to the city as could be
expected.
That its terms are more reasonable
than any other city in New Mexico
enjoys.
That the reduction in insurance
rates. which will follow the i~nstalla-
ton of a water system, will more
than overbalance the cost of city by
drants, to say nothing of the enhance.
ment of the value of property.
That there are so many cogent rea-
son for the installation of a water
system n no tenable reasons ag-
ainst it, that we feel impelled to ask
all who have the true interests of
Roswell. now and for the future. at
heart, to give the granting of the
franchise their hearty support.
Fire protection for Roswell is now
a necessity.

The objection the Record sees in
the Haynes & Bonney proposition is
that it proposes a limited system for
the protection of the business center
of its adoption would be
the end of all prospect for fire pro-
lection in the residence portion OF

fight against the city administration
than for it TO undertake the estab-
lishment of a limited system of wa.

interested in Main street property
might do such a thing-but the mu-
