PRICE OF COPPER
SHOWS STEADY ADVANCE

The price of copper continues to
mount to hitherto nknow figures. 1t
now stands at 24h cents per pound for
the AXE product, which is the criterion
of price for other denominations of the
metal. This phenomenal advance, how
ever, has as yet been unaccompanied by
an enhancement of values in copper
stocks such as would be proportionate
to the increased earnings of the pro-
ducing companies. Copper stocks, how
ever, are by no means at a low level at
this time, but stock exchange houses in
the east and more especially those in
Boston, where the supreme interest of
it's citizens centers upon copper and cul-
ture, the belief seems to be that the
copper stock boom will arrive with a
rush ere long.
What is of much significance in the
present price of the metal is the fact
that good times are assured copper
companies for a considerable period to
come. For as it has taken some years
for copper to reach a high level it is
probable that either decreasing con-
sumption or augmented supply will in
fiuence the course of prices but slowly.
Present Indications, however. cannot be
held to point to any turn in the tide.
The consumption of the metal con-
tinues to grow, n manufacturers are
experiencing great difficulty in purchas-
ing supplies of the metal for immediate
delivery. Most of the big companies
rave sold their output we'll ahead, and
this has been largely the determining
factor in the last advance. 1t will take
Some finoo N mt tho MANY naxy cOnnar
properties that are now being opened up
upon a producing basis, and until the
output is enormously augmented the
copper world is likely to experience a
prolonged era of prosperity.

production over the capacity of the mill
will be treated by the Buffers people.

ment of rents for water and lights as
permanent improvements, therefore
it will be impossible TO pay for them
out of the present funds,and to raise
additional funds means that the
taxable values must be increased.
It should be plain even to the dull
est mind that sto oppose the bond
issue or the score of taxation
would be a great mistake, for it is
the bond issue and the bond issue
only that will prevent increased
taxation. Therefore, if you wish
to construct the waterworks and the
electric lighting plant at once and
without increasing the taxes one
mill, vote for the bond issue.

TELL Us WHYe

From reports which appear to be
authentic, it seems that a few OF
the persons who signed the petit
ton to the city council asking that
an election be called for the pur-
pose of voting on a bond issue for
the construction of water and
light system, have now changed
their mind and are opposed to the
city's doing the work. As these
are men Of Intelligence, they must
have some valid reason for chang
ing their minds, and if so they
should be flank enough to take
their fellow citizens into their con-
fdeuce as to the cause of the re-
vision of their views. THE HER
AID would be glad to give space
to ANY such as desire to make
known the reason for their con-
version to the franchise idea, and
hopes that they may be candid
enough to explain through its col
umns.

THE BOND ISSUE.

The day is rapidly drawing near
when the taxpayers will be called
upon to say whether the city shall
be bonded in the sum of $4,000
for the construction of a system of
waterworks and the erection of an
electric lighting plant. 1t is almost
unanimously admitted that the city
Is in need of the improvements
contemplated and indeed so far
1T has not been brought to the
attention of the HERALD that a
single dissenting opinion has ever
been heard as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
constructing these utilities with all
possible speed. The present bond
issue election has been thrust upon
the city council by thefact that citi-
zeus on everyhand were urging the
aldermen to do something to re-
Iieve the present undesirable situa-
Eion, and show the world that the
citizens of Brownsville were as
progressive and that the city itself
zvas as desirable place to live in as
any on this continent. For years
the city has been trying to get
these improvements by granting
franchises to private individuals,
The holders of these franchises
gave been given every opportunity
80 make good, and have failed.
The only other course open to the
city was to do the work and make
the waterworks and electric lights
Z department just as is done in the
case of the police or any other
municipal work. 1t is held by re-
liable authorities on civic govern
-ment that the control of the water
supply is just as essential to the
welfare of the city IS it is that The
streets of the city be owned by the
municipality.
It has been brought to the atten-
ton of the HERALD that one or
two of the taxpayers are opposing
she issue of the bonds in the mis-
taken belief that it may cause an
Increase in taxation. As a matter
of fact, the only way to escape an
increase in taxation is for the city
&c build the waterworks and cleo
esric lighting plant.
IF the bonds are issued by the
Scity, the interest on them and the
creation of a sinking fund will be
zzade out of the present fund for
permanent improvement. The law
says that rs per cent of the taxes
collected shall be placed in a fund
Tor public improvements, and it is
from this amount set aside for such
improvements as it is now coEtem
plated that the bonds and the in
terest thereon will Be paid, with
out any Increase Of taxation. This
81 per cent is already being COL
{ oted from our taxpayers. The
election is only to authorize its use
to pay for the water and light sys-
4em.
If the city gave franchise away
&c q company, and were ever fort
innate enough to get the improve
Wents desired, it would be neces-
=sary to raise at once the assessable
values of the city to meet the sew
zsral thousands of dollars that the
water company would charge the
sciey for water for fire protection
and for lighting the streets. The
law does not look upon the pay
