Some Questions About Municipal

 The city Of Phoenix has owned and operated the city waterworks for several years. There is no competing plant We believe that the con sumers are, without exception, sat Since the city took the plant there has been a decided reduction in fhe cost of water to consumers Whether this reduction more than offsets extra taxes now and to come especially the taxes which ultimately must provide for renewal of the plant and provide q sinking fund for retirement of the indebtedness incurred-may be open to question. people however, as there are other compensating advantages in favor of municipal ownership. To state but one of these: the service is satis- factory, and the adequate protection from fire gives everybody a feeling of security and contentment with the situation. The people. in our judg ment, would not think of reverting to private operation.
 We understand that the issues at Williams are quite similar to the issues which confronted the people of Phoenix before municipal owner ship was adopted.
 It may be worth while for our cor respondent to know that Phoenix made one vital mistake in relation to municipal ownership of waterworks- the city was led to pay an extrava gant price for the privately owned system which had previously served the municipality The sum of s150,- 900 was paid, although the property acquired was not worth to exceed s5O,O0O. Several causes contributed to this extravagant purchase Many citizens had grown tired of the wrangle After the city had voted to go into the water business d reac- tion of indifference as to details set in, and but few men paid further attention to the business end of the deal The owner of the system had with great shrewdness. played upon local prejudice against himself and had famed this prejudice so skill fully that large numbers of citi- zens really believed that they were handing a bunch" to him in fore some uncertainty about the willing ness of the people to pay as much as sI5O,OOO. however. so due atten- ton was paid to the election which ratified the sale. Comparatively few electors voted, and it has been stated as a sort of open secret that decided financial prosperity descended upon at least one member of the council at the time the deal was made.
 We believe the foregoing is about all the information we are able to supply to our Williams correspon- dent

With the unusually low rates the
railroads are offering for the meet
ing of the Mississippi Live Stock and
Dairy Association, there is no rea-
son why any one interested in live
stock or any other line of farming
should fail to attend.
Remember that the Illinois Cen

Railroad and the Southern Railway
Company in Mississippi have granted
a rate Of one fare plus Is cents to
Starkville and the A. & M. College
and return, from all points on their
lines in Mississippi. Our friends in
Alabama along the line of the Mobile
and Ohio may also obtain return
tickets to this meet for cents mile
plus Is cents. We hope that this
