The City Can

John S. Hogue In Open Letter
to Citizens of Charleston

Citizens OF Charleston: In the Char.
lesion Mail of January IA, 1911, there
was published table of figures, COM
piled by Captain White, showing the
cities owning their water works, a
study of which shows that municipal
owned water works supply water at
less cost than corporation owned
plants. This is but reasonable, as tn,
corporations must have profit suffi-
Gent to pay interest at 10 per cent
at least, and provide besides fund
that will at the end OF the franchise
pay for the works, similar in effect

the extension OF the franchise asked
for by the Kanawha Water and Light
Company. of Charleston, that the plant
OF the corporation, which supplies you
with water, has cost $3.50, 000- and
therefore the franchise must be ex-
tended because Charleston could no.
buy the plant, which the city would
be compelled to do under the terms
of the franchise granted. have
asserted in print that a system OF
water works capable Of furnishing
water for population of 10000 per-
sons can be built for $500, 900, In proos

Ought not Charleston to own ana

The contention that she cannot, four
years hence, when the present fran,
chise expires. buy the plant is fallac-
ious.
The reports sent me by the officials
OF the principal cities named In the
above table show that their water
works have been paid for or will be
paid for by the receipts derived from

that the spring election will change

legislature might do things? The cry
that the West End cannot have water
unless this franchise is extended now,
because the company must thereby
be enabled to issue and sell bonds for
the purpose, was exploded on the 10th
inst, when at meeting Of the Board
OF Affairs to receive the application
OF the Water and Light Company, by
questions propounded by myself, it
was clearly and fully rought out that
mains and pipes over there in the
dry territory were not put down ani
the water turned on because the West
Enders had not put up. the requisite
they had not put up the money. That
seems to be rather rough on the West
Side. They must pay for goods be-
fore delivered. And am told the
franchise, bad as it is, in many re.
spects requires the company to ex-
tend the service to all parts Of the
limits.
The service was extended to Fern
Bank hills without any one putting Up
the money first, and the service is
paying the company we'll. Why not
treat the West Enders the same way?

SMITH TRIES
T0EXPLAIN
HIS HGT|0N
Claims Friendship for Terrific
ries but his Actions speak
Differently

Washington, D. C. July IL
Declaring he is friendly to the
territories Of New Mexico and
Arizona; that he is anxious to see
them admitted as states and that
any delay on his part has been for
the purpose Of smoothing the
path, Chairman William Alden
Smith of the senate committee on
territories today reported the
Flood resolution favorably out of
the committee, as voted by the
committee nearly three months
ago.
Mr.. Smith insists that the Flood
resolution will be vetoed by the
president, if it passes as it stands
now; and he, gave notice that he
would present an amendment
eliminating the judiciary recall
from the Arizona constitution be-
fore its admission as a state. He
then said he would seek an i'm
mediate vote on the matter in the
senate.
Senator Nelson, stating that he
represented a minority of the
committee, said he was perfectly
satisfed~to admit New Mexico
with her constitution as adopted,
but that he objected to the ad-
mission of Arizona under her
present fundamental laW for two
reasons; first because of the recall
of the judiciary and second be-
cause fifteen per cent Of the
voters could initiate a referen-
dunn.
