OF the expert engineer. Mr.. Waller.
that to build a new system is impos-
sible because 1t would cost much
more than the bonding capacity or

constructed. It would be necessary to
use steam power to run II at q cost
OF at least $500 q month TOR fuel
when such electric power goes with
the present plant at $3.50 a month, or
a difference in this one item alone
OF si.b2o. a month In running ex-
penses. or $4,000 year. or enough
to pay for the present system in eight
years. The stockholders Or the
Consumers company who are oppos.
ing the sale ought to try again. The
above argument does not convince
any one.
You can look for them TO make
an attempt to minimize the facts

Influenced thereby. You should make
your own Investigation. and also get

The above paragraph contains the
only truth in the pink circular which
has been so freely circulated against
the bonding OF the city for the pur.
chase OF the water system. Every

sumers should Investigate and we
urge them to make a thorough In

Falls raising the high water level
Of the lake and impounding that ex-
ira water there. Increasing the de-
cayed vegetable matter during the
hot summer and early fall. They
undoubtedly realize that detriment
will increase each year and that some
new source of supply, which viii
furnish better water. must soon be
developed. Naturally. they would
like to have the water consumers foot
the bill in addition to the other heavy
expenses above mentioned. II Is UNI
necessary for the city to purchase
such water works, especially when
the city or water consumers can have
new water works installed which will
furnish better water and give the
taxpayers and water consumers the
protection to which they are Justly
entitled"
VIII some of the signers to this
statement point out where the city
or the Consumers company win find
source Of water supply better than
that OF the lake. Many eastern cities
would be overjoyed to have 1t. II
may some time be advisable to ex-
tend the intake pipe toward Wolf
Lodge bay to get out OF the main
channel Of the lake and secure a
supply Of water from the forest re-
serve streams. but II so this would
not cost more than $1,000.
The circular issued a few days
ago by the city attorney. advises you
that rather than build new plant,
turn down the water bonds and let
the Consumers company go ahead.
The taxpayers will turn down those
proposed water bonds but they will
also install a new water works plant.
The city attorney also states that
1t Is either vote those bonds now. or
keep still and say nothing more on
the water question for the next eigh-
teen years In our judgment thai
statement is misleading. and sounds
Ike an attempt to brighten water
consumers and whip them into line
to vote for the water bonds"
