Looking for Homes.
1t is learned at the Board Of Trade
that scores and scores of families
are availing themselves of the imml-

that these small farmers are the true
developers of country and that they
will make the surrounding country
of Salem bloom in a thousand ways.
They are buying up homes thick and

are not proclaiming the fact, but are
silently making Investigations and
picking up good investments here
and there, and one OF these days,
when the value OF their investments

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ESTI.
MATED AND ACTUAL COST.

Just at this time when the water
question is the uppermost topic OF dis
cussion in the minds of the taxpayers
of the city of Denver the experience
of the Southern Pacific railroad with
the Salt Lake Cut-Off furnishes excel
lent food for reflection for every tax
payer. 1t is a shining example of the
difference between the estimated and
the actual cost of great engineering
work The Rocky Mountain News of
Monday April Is, contained an ac'
count of the contemplated abandon
ment of the Salt Lake Cut-Off in which
it said:
"The great cutoff, the pride of Har-
riman, is now known as "Harriman's
Folly" in railroad circles. When it
was planned its estimated cost was
s6,0000O0. Up to the present time, it
is said it has cost s14,000,0O0 and
every wind storm on the lake which
sends the heavy salt-laden waves over
the structure adds thousands to its
cost"
The Southern Pacific railroad did
Lake until the most careful estimates
had been made by its engineers as to
the cost of the same which was placed
at s6,000,000. These engineers are the
equal of any in the world in their pro-
fession and it was necessary that
their estimate of cost be as accurate
as possible as the work was purely
business proposition and must be con-
structed at cost which would show
profit when put in operation, and
vet this great work has cost up to
date s14,OOO,OO0, or 1898 per cent.
more than the original estimate.
The only estimates which have ever
been made for the construction of a
water plant for Denver are those
made by City Surveyor John B.
Hunter. His nrst estimate, made II
years ago, was s5,700,00O. He has
since increased that figure to $685.
000 Mr.. Hunter is not civil engi-
neer, nor a hydraulic engineer, and
has never had the slightest expert
ence in building water system.
The Panama Canal offers another
shining example of the difference be.
tween estimate and real cost. Hun.
dreds of millions have been added to
the estimate up to this date and the
end is not yet. The Gunnison tunnel
in this state, part of the government
reclamation project, has cost just 25O
per cent. more than one estimate. And
that one engineer whose estimate was
so faulty, is picked out by Senator
Patterson as good authority for Den
vcr in building a water system.
Mr.. Patterson's experience in build
ing water systems consists entirely OF
newspaper construction. He has, in
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1910-04-30

OF the franchises OF the old company,
in the opinion of lawyers, have al
ready expired. and others expire from
year TO year until 1912, when all will
have expired with the exception OF
two or three fractional lines.
1.-TWO possibilities, therefore, ARE
OPEN FOR PROFIT BY THOSE
WHO BACK THE NEW COMPANY:
"First-The possibility of building
a new line, or material portion
thereof, and the forcing of the old
company to sell out its holdings by
reason OF losing its franchise rights
upon the streets through the lapse OF
the present existing franchises.
"Second-The possibility Of selling
at handsome figure the new fran
chise to the old company.
This latter phase OF the situation is
emphasized by the fact that 1t is cur
rently reported in Wall Street that
the old company has arranged for
floating s25,000,000 OF bonds as soon
as It can get new franchise, and II
cannot well afford not to make terms,
either by sale OF its plant to the new
company or by purchase of the new
company's franchise. in case one shall
be obtained.
with THESE TWO POSSlBIL-
tiles IN VIEW THERE CAN BE NO
QUESTION OF CLEANING UP
FROM $1,000, 900 TO s5.0o0,000 IN
CASE THE NEW COMPANY Sc
CURES IT'S FRANCHISE AS AP-
Piled FOR. Gn order TO carry on
this fight before the people It is nee
essary to inspire them with confidence
that the application for this franchise
is made in good faith.
'In order TO inspire this confidence
II is necessary to interest parties
with capital who can either them
selves, or through their financial con-
nections, make public announcement
and assurance that the bonds OF the
new company will be taken as soon
as the franchise is granted BY the
vote OF the people.
Were II not for the bond feature
Denver capital would not permit any
part OF the promotion money to be
sought outside OF that city. However,
for the purpose OF interesting men
and institutions OF capital by which
this assurance as TO the floating OF
the bonds can be given TO the public,
Denver parties are willing to give a
controlling interest OF iifty-one t5D
per cent to the parties who will ad-
vance twenty thousand dollars
$50 ,000) to assist in paying the ex-
penses OF this application for fran
chise for this new company and for
the educational campaign necessary
to thoroughly acquaint the people with
the advantages offered.
THE NEWSPAPER SUPPORT
WILL BE GIVEN WITHOUT ANY
CHARGE. and owing to the local sit
uation and the intense feeling against
the present tramway company. this
amount. together with what can be
raised locally, will undoubtedly gain
favorable vote which will result In
the acquisition OF franchise worth
100 times the expenditure.

the past decade built all sorts and
kinds of water systems at all kinds Of
prices-in his newspapers-but this
sort of construction has never appeal
ed to the practical men Of finance, or
to the ordinary layman of common
sense. 1t is perfectly patent that Mr.
Patterson is aware that a water plant
for Denver cannot be built for $6,OOO,-
900 or $S,O00,O0O, or he would not have
inserted the little "jokers" in the Cit
liens Water League amendment to
the City Charter, to be voted on at
the coming election, which gives the
water commission created thereby the
power to compel the council and the
mayor to submit to the people any
amendment which this commission de-
sires for the issuance of bonds in any
amount the commission sees At. These
two little jokers" are as follows:
THE council shall pass such ordi-
nances as said commission may deem
necessary respecting the issuance Of
said bonds or to the full exercise Of
all the powers given it, in the form
without amendment. and the mayor
shall sign the same"
The said commission may
submit an alternative bond proposition
at said special election for the issu-
ance of bonds in such sum as it may
deem advisable for the acquisition or
construction Of water plant or any
part thereof"
So much of error in estimates on
works of similar kind as a water sys-
TEN, by engineers OF approved wis
dom, shows that the claim Of too high
appraisement OF the present plant,
simply because Senator Patterson, Mr.
Fellows and Senator Rush say eight
million is enough, Is probably Ill
founded.
Do you want to pay for water sys.
TEN now by heavier water taxes. the
ultimate benefits Of which will be
shared equally by holders Of unim-
proved property who will not have
contributed one cent towards Its pur-
chase? Mr., Taxpayer, IL you grant
the truth OF our claim that the esti.
mate of cost for new plant is too
low at eight million dollars, and that
the appraisers valuation Of the pres
ent plant is not too high, you will vote
for the franchise for the Denver Union
Water company. AS clincher, to
show you beyond shadow Of doubt
that we are right as to the cost of a
water plant, we will give next week a
detailed comparison Of Denver with
Los Angeles, whose plant Senator
Patterson says is ideal.

"Mr. Thomas P. Phillips, Vice-Presi.
dent American Trust & Savings
Bank:
Dear Sir-Pursuant to the conver.
sation had with you this day relative
to the traction situation in Denver,
will say that at present the Denver
City Tramway Company owns, con-
trolls and operates all the street car
lines, but that it has made application
for twenty (20) year franchise,
which application is to be voted upon
by the taxpaying electors at the COM
ing election to be held May 10, 1906.
The Denver Municipal Traction
Company was incorporated on the
fifth day OF this month, under the
laws Of Colorado, and made applica-
ton for franchise for a complete
new system OF street railroads, not
only giving the citizens better trans
portation facilities, but reaching every
part of the business district by a
much more direct line, and with easier
grades than the present existing sys-
tenn.
Under the constitution OF Colo
RADIO all applications for franchises
must he submitted to vote of the
taxpaying electors of the city, and
the applicant must pay the cost Of
such election. This cost was deter.
mined by the treasurer to be fifteen
hundred dollars ($1,5OO). and that
amount was paid by the new company
at the time the application was pre-
sented.
Under the Denver charter, in or
der to compel the submission of this
question at the regular election, a
petition of 25 per cent. of the voters
was thought necessary, and this peti.
ton is now being circulated and
signed, to be presented to the coun-
Gil at its meeting tomorrow evening.
1T will cost about two thousand
dollars $4,000 to pay the circulators
of these petitions. The printing and
other incidental expenses will make
about FIVE hundred dollars ($5O0)
more or a total Of about four thou.
sand dollars $4,000 initial expense.
