could be figured to nicety and it
would not be found to be great.
The cost of preliminary survey has
been estimated all the way from two
or three thousand to fifteen thousand
dollars. Men who have studied the mat
ter ridicule the latter figure. One en-
gineer, at least, during the time the
Sultan river project was up before, fig
ured the survey could be made at a
cost not to exceed fifteen hundred dol
lars.
1t is estimated that bond issue ap-
proximating $65O,OO0 may be raised
for construction and installation of the
system. Additional bonds may be raised
secured by a first mortgage on the
plant. State and municipal bonds are
considered gilt edged investments and it
is believed that twentyyear bonds can
be floated at four per cent.
Objections raised that the city should
plan a system adequate for the needs OF
a city of 100000 population are rather
foolish. An adequate source of sup
ply is the main point at issue. Exten-
sions to the system may be made later
and paid for with the earnings of the
plant. If Seattle had waited for her
water system until she was able to
build three pipe lines to Cedar river she
would be without municipal system to-
day. A start should be made speedily. A
permanent source of supply secured, ans
survey made. If the cost of survey will
not exceed fiften hundred dollars, and
men who have made considerable study
Of the project are satisfied it can be
done for that figure, surely the citi
zens of Everett can raise that amount
by public subscription, if necessary. As
we stated in the beginning, a municipa
water system is both necessary anC
feasible There do not appear TO be an,
insurmountable obstacles and the pub
lie spiritedness of our citizens shoul,
rally to the taking up of this project.
