n6 WdbCl H HuC0blOh hdS AOOLlCQ up largely in Nogales the past few weeks, and the movement that has assumed shape for calling bond election to establish a municipal water system, to supply the town with water from the Santa Cruz has occupied the public attention for several weeks to the apparent exclusion of all other subjects. Even that fruitful subject, the recall of the judiciary and Presi- dent Taft's declaration that he will veto any bill or resolution to admit Arizona with that feature not elim- mated from the fundamental law of the new state, fails to find list eners in the face of the water problem. People like to talk about things nearer at home anyhow, and the water question as now presented is a very fruitful theme and gives them plenty to talk about. A dis sertation upon the subject can be had from almost anyone if one will stop and listen. That being the case THE OASIS man has derived no little information and instruc- ton in circulating around among citizens and getting their views upon this fruitful theme, some of which are presented herewith:
 Mir. William Schuckmann, presi- dent of Las Dos Naciones Cigar Manufacturing Company and vice president of the First National Bank, said: Upon general prin- ciples 1 favor municipal water system; but 1 think that in this case it would be just as we'll to ob- tain more information than has been given me at present before committing myself irrevocably to the proposition. This proposition as presented now may be all right, and many who would support it were they sure 1t is all right will be apt to go against it unless they can be shown that is all right and for the best interests of the town to issue bonds to provide such system. For that reason l think 1t would have been better to have gone more into detail than has yet been done in the matter. l believe that longer time should be taken than has been proposed in which to present the question to the voters. A matter of such great import should not be rushed. There are many things that the taxpayers have a right to know and ought to know before commit ting themselves to a proposition of this kind. The proposed system will cost considerable money about $150,000 and the average taxpayer will be inclined l think to want to know whether the out lay required will be justified, whether there will arise from the earnings of the municipal plant Sulhclent revenue to pay the oper- atlng expenses of such a system as IS proposed, the interest on the a,ebt, and sinking fund to meet th2 principal when due. He ought to know what revenue a municipal water system can earn and what would be its prospective earnings as
 .n5 years advance, and he ought to Know what it will cost to run it, an~ whether the earnings and
 prospective earnings will meet that eos pay the interest and extin- gl' a the public debt at maturity.

bonds there should be presented time amply sufficient to go into all of these questions thoroughly and completely and let the taxpayers who will have the bonds to pay unless the proposed system does have ample opportunity to decide whether the cost is to come from them in the end, or whether the water system will return the money invested and keep itself up. Sixty or ninety days would have been no more time than would be necessary to have gone into all of these questions. posted the tax payers and enabled them to decide understandingly. I think perhaps that as a matter of fair dealing all around the town should buy out if possible the present system and in- corporate that into the municipal system. It does not require much figuring to demonstrate that if there are two systems in operation beside each other there will be less revenue for each than where there is only one, and if the water com pany can be acquired at reason able cost the revenue of the muni- cipal system will be much more apt to meet the fixed charges, interest and necessary sinking fund. It is certain that all the present cus- toners will not leave the water company.
 John T. Brickwood, proprietor of the Brickwood House, said: I am and have been always in favor of construction of a sewer system in Nogales and an issue of bonds to provide for such one; but I have my doubts about the advisa- bility of creating heavy bonded indebtedness for a municipal water system at the present time. l am pleased that the town board has decided to submit the two proposi- tions separately. for an elector can support the one he wants and will not have to vote against it to beat the one he doesn't want.
 Samuel Leeker, proprietor of the El Paso Store, said: 1 think a municipal water system would be good thing for the town provided it is within reach; but l think that before committing the town to the proposition irrevocably there should be complete and thorough investigation of the sources of sup ply, the cost of installation of plant, the cost of operation, the in- terest and sinking fund payments, and whether the system ifinstalled will meet all of those expenses. 1 do not think the issue should be hurried to a decision. Give the people time to make up their minds so they can vote intelligently, and no one can plead that he is not sufficiently we'll informed to justify himself in voting for bond issue, in which case he is apt to vote against.
 MT. Anton Proto, dealer in gen. nral merchandise, said: I do not believe that we should put heavy mortgage upon all the property in Nogales to establish another water system when we have one already which gives fair service. An unfortunate succession of dry seasons has made the water supply scant through few weeks, and we need not put in another water sys- E.. 4 |.
