After investigating the sewer system for the past five weeks l will try to put the results before the people of Winslow I will not dwell upon the manner in which the election was conducted. but, Mir Reader, when you take intoconsiderati. Il that the polling was intende. f r the purpose of determining the mind of the f. ee thinker, you will agree w tn me that wh> Il vo es are solicited to swing the result ot an election to dec!de sewer issue or any other pu lie utility, and especially whe Il a total of only eighty three votes are cast, some one is going too far to be fair and re-, sonable with his fellow man. 1 don't care to here cite other irregularities on the day of the ling, as 1 still have friend or two who may fall heir to something he does not want or that he is really not en- titled to. But 1 have them many.
 here were sixty-three votes cast in favor of the sewer issue and l will venture to say tat ffty-eight of them did not know whether they voted for ten feet or ten miles of sewer; whether or not there was a septic tank in connection; whether 1t was to be six inches or six feet in diameter and the chances are that they never will know what the sewer

system embraced. Why were they not informed?
 Neither do those ffty-eight vot CTS know that they will be as sessed for something they will not want and really is a luxury they do not need at the price we are told it will cost.
 Nevertheless twenty-three vot- CTS have decided that the 1900 or 2,OOO of the rest of us need a sewer system to dispatch disease germs, microbes and other bugs to the bed of the Little Colorado ri"er Those same fifty eightvot- e S, in my opinion, did not know one iOta as to the form of the bonds which it is thought were hargained for long previous to the election, and that they helped to float, or the conditions under N hich they or their ch.ldrenwould be competed to redeem atthe end of thirty years.
 Now, as stated by those who want a sewer system in Winslow for the express purpose. as have here above mentioned, say that it will serve the city for twenty years.
 Mir. Reader and dear people, would you be foolish enough to build yourself a h me that would serve you but for twenty years and then be ten years longer pay ing for 1t? Right here is a part of this argument that needs a thought from everyone.

to produce $4, 34, of this amount $3,600 is to pay the interest for the first year (191O), and $1,333.34 is to go into q reserve fund to help pay for the redemption of the bonds thirty years from now, which is ten years longer than the sewer will serve the city; therefore you will have paid $1 ,266.66 more inter est than you are paying into the sewer fund for 1910. This Is where the dollar mark is racing against time and is far in the lead right from the start.
 Next year (1911) and for twen- ty-eight years onward you will have to pay each year $2, 400 in+ terest and $1, 1888 34 additional will be necessary each ofthe twen- ty-eight years to redeem the bonds at the expiration of thirty years. So next year and for twenty eight years after 1910 the dollar mark is only $1,O6666 iu advance of the sinking fund, but in the year 1939-if you are still alive-and with healthy condil tions prevailing for twenty years you ought to be-you will wit ness something that did not hap pen in the twenty nine years pre- vious, and that is the interest for that year will be only $1,20O, but you will have to contribute $1, ,333 34 to pay off the debt on the sewer that became useless te Il years back.
 So the dollar mark slips on the thirtieth year of it's relay race to the extent of $133.34.
 If the sinking fund does bring 5 per interest (and we are not sure that 1t willy bear in mind that while you are receiving 5per cent on $1. .333.34, or $66.66 lfor tls year 1911 for example) you are yet paying 6 per cent on $40, ,OOO, or $2, 400 interest the same year and 1t is the same game for thirty long years-get next?
 Now, don't tell me that this town is going to grow under these conditions and that individ- uals will have less taxes to pay. 1 can cite a case of a man (well known) who states "that while
 Winslow is his logical location he will build home in Phoenix on account of the political situa- tion here.
 Is he narrow minded man fo1
 building elsewhere? Would yor
 buy ground and build here, or dc you know of others who would
 build in Winslow under the stated conditions? Who is going to pay
 for all of this $112,OOO luxury which means $72,OOO interest and $40. .OOo for p incipal I wa. told by a citizen that he was in formed that he would not be com pelled to connect with the sewel system.

 that too.
 Now, to get away from thos Standard Oil figures, I will pu this proposition on a monthl, basis so it can be more readil, seen what we are up against; an'
