First in a Series

The union of Canon. City and South
Canon is business proposition and
the question should be discussed in
the most friendly way.
Those who favor the union of the
two towns have no special interest
to serve or no personal benefit to
obtain, more than what would come
TO all our citizens md property rold-
ers. Those who oppose the union
are honest in their opinions, and have
the same right to be heard and the
same right to their belief, as those
who are in favor of the union.
The writer of this article was pres
ent and helped in small way to or
ganize South Canon and has lived in
the town ever since. Many of the
older ones who took an active part
in the organization are now dead.
At the time of its organization.
South Canon was purely fruit sec
ton, most of the land was divided
into tracts of one to 10 acres, plant
ed in fruit trees. and small fruit. The
object of the organization was to
give us few local laws which would
give protection to the fruit interest,
such as a stock law" a dog law"
and a law against flooding the streets
with irrigating water. For long
time we got along very nicely with
tax levy of from six to ten mills
per annum. Our land was very high
priced-several tracts sold for $4,000
per acre These tracts were without
improvements. Now these conditions
have changed. The fruit belt has
shifted to Lincoln Park and our land
has been largely cut up into lots and
sold to small home-builders. Our
fruit land has decreased in value and
our taxes have Increased until the
past year our levy was two mills

Unite the Two Towns
BY II RESIDENT OF SOUTH CANON
lin n agere

higher than any other town in the
county.
The writer does not wish to reflect
on any town board, either past or
present for they have all been honest
men and have tried to do the very
best thing for the town in the most
economical way, but it is the newt
able. Our taxes are away beyond
our public benefits, and in my opin-
ion always will be as long as we
keep separated from Canon City The
money We expend on our streets and
highways is for the purpose of Civ
ing people outside of our town a good
highway to Canon City. We must
keep UP our streets SO that people
hauling coal, fruit. and other heavy
articles can get them to Canon City
If we had stores, hotels, and railroad
and freight depots like Canon City.
our streets would be for our benefit;
but situated as we are they serve
Lincoln Park, Prospect Heights, and
the coal mine and stone and silica
quarries which contribute SO much
to Canon City and not one cent to
South Canon. II the two towns were
united then the entire city would bear
this burden which justly belongs to
it. To make this argument palmer;
let us look at the valuations of the
two towns. Canon City has, in round
numbers, sI,5o0.O0O worth of proper
ty and South Canon has something
over 100000 worth. OF every dollar
expended on the streets. Canon City
would contribute 6-7, and South Can
on the balance. 1t is impossible for
South Canon to compete with Canon
City in streets and lights. sidewalks
and water works. sewers and police
protection. with a 100000 valuation
as against $1.5o0.os0 valuation.
