The present rate of taxation is
quite high, and affords grounds for
opposing further increase by an
issue of bonds at this time. This calls
to mind that the city taxes are less
than those of either the Territory or
! the county,.
Wnen we consider that only small
portion of the city is in the artesian
| belt and that the hills on the north
and south and the highlands 90 the
west cannot greatly improve until
we have a water system; and that
no part of the city whatever mas any
adequate fire protection, it becomes
a question to be seriously studied
whether it would not be good business
policy to assume the additional bur
den by voting bonds for the installa-
ton of a comprehensive water sys-
TEN. Roswell has reached the point
now that an adequate system for fire
protection is imperatively needed.
There can be no question that there
would be more and better lomes
Z erected on the Nortn and South hills
and in the highlands to the west if
the home-builders could get water for
domestic and yard irrigation uses, to
, say nothing of the matter of fire pro-
lection. That the installation of a
| comprehensive water system would
stimulate the building of good houses,
and increase the value of property
nit r., o;Err n
per cent within two years is a prog
nostication to which the most CON
firmed mossback in the city will as
sent, to himself at least.
To the objection raised by some
that the installation of a water sys-
tenn will necessitate the tearing up
and rebuilding of our present system
of sewers, | cannot assent. To begin
with. | think Roswell is the only mu-
nicipality in America that ever put
in a sewer system that did not nave
a water system. To any one not ia
miliar with our peculiar situation as
to artesian wells such a condition of
affairs would seem utterly absurd.
The sewer system We now have only
covers a portion of the artesian area
of the city. 1t was never intended
that this system should cover any of
the territory south of the Hondo or
north of Spring river. The North and
South hills will have to be provided
with separate trunk lines practically
paralelling the Hondo and Spring riv-
erS whenever it is deemed expedient
to extend a system of sewers to those
hills. The engineer who planned the
present sewer system and the city
council who brought about it's install
time. 1t has been alleged that our
existing sewer system is inadequate
and over-taxed at the present time
and cannot be extended. 1t is a fact
that a couple of the laterals are aeav
lily taxed, but this is caused from the
fact that the waste from hydraulic
rams is allowed to discharge in them,
and not from sewage proper. Some of
the most acrimonious opponents of
a water system are those VINO are now
usefulness of our sewers by the dis
charge of water from their rams into
them, well knowing that with the in
stallation of a water system they
would he denied the further use of
the sewers for waste water from their
rams.

out from Washington, followed the
departure of President Roosevelt for
the Louisiana bear hunt. A day or
two after he left, it is reported that
= two large bulls visited the White
House yards and took look around
it and the monument grounds. 1t
was even reported that they chased
a negro up tree and kept him here
all night. This is a verified fact.
But no bulls or any other animals
ever dared to take liberties in the
White House grounds, with Teddy
on deck. 1t is wise bull that knows
his dangers.

ways and byways sprang into ex-
istence as if by magic, the waters of
the neighboring hills partook of the
spirit of the situation and forsook
their primeval beds to divert them

was no use. Civilization on its lumi-

The prospect looked good to the
drifters. They grew enthusiastic in
their descriptions to others left be-

eloquent in depicting the possibili-
ties with more accessions and some
work properly applied. There was
