An Explanation to Our Citizens:

An explanation 10 our Oitl1ehs.
Acting upon lee request Of the
Aqua Pura company that tne city, in
the event Of its refusal to meet their
terms of renewal of the water con-
tract, discontinue the use OF water
from that company's mains for munic-
ipal purposes, the street sprinkl:ng
and use oE water in the city PARKS
will be discontinued, the city coun-
ell at its last meeting, having decld-
ed that owing to the exorbitant rates
charged by the company to resident
consumers the city would not con
sent to making a contract for city
water for an amount over $1,25O per
year.
ROBERT j.. fAUPERT,
Mayor
The mayor said that the city, for
the present at least, would take no le-
gal steps to compel the Aqua Pura
company to furnish water until such
time as a contract is agreed upon and
signed He stated that the council
has laid down its ultimatum and made
it's best offer and it is up to the wat
er company to reject it or accept it.
Mayor Taupert said he believed it
would be a good plan to have the
matter discussed by the citizens after
they have learned all the facts. He
stated he believed the people of Las
/ Vegas would sustain the council in
/ it's action in refusing to pay more
than s1,25O year for municipal wat
er The mayor said if the people do
not like the action of the administra-
ton they are free to express their
opinion, but until they do so he will
proceed under the belief that the pub
i lie is in agreement with action OF
the city officials.
Following is copy of the letter
sent by Superintendent Powers Of the
Aqua Pura company 10 the mayor and
council. a
July 20. 1912.
MIR. R. J. Taupert
Mayor of Las Vegas,
city:
"Dear Sir. In converse. on with me
some days ago you stated that the
city did not desire to negotiate fur
ther with the Agua Pura company for
a contract for the furnishing of city
water and in response to my state
ments that the company was anxious
to enter into a contract at fair rate
and ready to prove to you or to the
city council that the rental you offer
namely, $1,250 year, is entirely un
fair to the company and not a reason
able compensation for the services to
be rendered, you stated that neither
you nor the council desired to con
! slider the question from a business
standpoint or with view of determin
ing a reasonable rate. You said that
the council had decided lpon the 81,
4 $50 and would consider nothing else
One member of your water and light
committee also stated to me that the
company could accept this rate OF
cut off the water, as It chooses.

"The Aqua Psua company very
greatly regrets that you have seen
tit to adopt this attitude. We cannot
agree that either you Or the city eoun-
Gil has right arbitrarily to determine
the price at which this company shall
furnish the city with water We are
ready at any time to take up nego-
tiations with you or the proper com
mittee looking to the making Of 4
contract and will be glad to make an
agreement fair to both parties and at
a reasonable rate.
in your letter Of June you de-
cline to recognize the old contract
rates as in force until new contract
is entered into. lnasmuoh as you de-
cline further negotiations for a new
contract It Is apparent that the pros
pect Of obtaining voluntary payment
for present or future services is very
remote
Under these circumstances ] am
compelled to request you to desiss
from using any water for any city
purposes until new contract is en-
tered into.
4 am sending copy OF this letter
to each member of the city council.
Yours truly

Las Vegas optic. (East Las Vegas, N.M.) 1908-1921, 1912-07-24
SUPERINTENDENT. "

'S1Htt1E.N FOW EINo,
Superintendent.
The Aqua Pura eompany's side Of
the controversy was made clear by
Superintendent stephen Powers. Mr..
Powers said:
THE Aqua Pura company is perfect
'ly willing that all Of the facts in the
cast shall be made public. At any
time that the public may desire all
correspondence between the company
and the city relative to the signing Of
a new contract viii be furnished for
publication.
The case of the controversy is sim
ply this. The city administration, fol-
lowing the expiration of the old con-
tract, notified the Aqua Pura COM
pany that it would renew its contract
only at the rate Of $1,25O per annum.
The company was compelled to re-
fuse this offer, as it believed it to be
too low considering the service fur
Inished the city. As superintendent |
|netified the mayor and city officials
that the company was willing to dis
ouss the situation thoroughly and was
willing to make any reasonable con-
cessions. was informed it would
be useless to do so, as the city posi-
lively would pay no more for water,
in spite of the fact that under the
old contract the annual cost was S2,-
500. When the final ultimatum was
given there was nothing left for the
company to do but order the city to
cease using water for municipal pur-
poses.
THE Aqua Pura company is ready
at any time to join with the city in
an effort to draw up contract that
will prove satisfactory to both par
ties. But it cannot accept the present
offer. 1t is fact that the Aqua Pura
company is furnishing water to Las
Vegas cheaper than water companies
in a great majority of the cities Of this
size throughout the United States. In
addition, we are flushing the sewers
Tree and furnishing free water for
the parks, city hall and public school
buildings. The Aqua Pura company
wishes to have no trouble with the
city administration and is hopeful
that the council will reconsider its de-
cision to stand pat on an annual rate
of s1.25O per year"
Mr.. Powers said that the Aqua Pura
company, not wishing ito put the city
in danger from CONGREGATIONS, will al
low use of water from the fire plugs
in case of fire and that he had so
informed the fire chief and city po-
lice. He said this concession was
temporary and intimated it might
be withdrawn in the event the city
continued to evade a renewal of its
/ contract on mutually satisfactory
terms.
Mayor Taupert and Chief of Police
Coles called at The Optic office this
morning with the information that
while Mr. Powers had allowed the city
to use water in case of fire he had
stipulated that the company must be
notified and one Of its men must per-
sonally turn on the water.

WH|TELAW REID
DIES AT LONDON
American Ambassador to Eng.
land h! About Two Weeks.

London, Dec. 16--WhitelaW Reid
the American ambassador to Great
Britain since 1905, died at his London
residence Dorchester House, from pui
mOnary Oedema. The end was quite
peaceful. Mrs. Reid and their daugh
ter, Mrs. John Hubert Ward, were at
the bedside.
Sir Thomas Barlow, physician tc
the king, who was called in last week
when Mr.. Reds illness became acute,
and his regular physician, DR.. William
Hale White issued the following bulle
tin as to the cause Of death:
"A fortnight ago the American am,
bassador had slight bronchial at
tack similar TO others from which he
had suffered at considerable intervals
On Wednesday last asthma supervened
and the asthmatic paroxysms became
very severe, leading to extreme eX-
haustiOn.
ct was hoped that he might rally,
as no pneumonia symptoms had ap,
peared. With difficulty the paroxysms
of asthma were got under control, but
the exhaustion became extreme and
he died from pulmonary oedema."

The Glover Country

In an editorial on northern Wis
consin development, under the head
Of THE Glover Country" the Mil
Waukee Free Press says: 1T is the
upper portion Of the state that is
most rapidly moving forward: the
north is the section where colonial
ton is taking place, where new en-
terprises are being inaugurated.
where are conferred the activities
natural to young and fluid commun-
lty not yet set in its tendencies or
hardened in it's ways The Internal
lonal dairy show is one term in the
equation, the alfalfa growing coun-
ties OF the north are another and
the dairyman is the one who brings
them together and makes them both
equal to dollars, the infalliable proof
OF correct solution. Moreover. nor
thern Wisconsin is a natural fruit
region, it grows all the staple crops
beside sugar beetS and SOY beans.
SO that the farmer is by no means
confined to dairying, but can en-
large his scope with other Interests. "

Danger in Water Supply

Over large part of the country
available source of water supply, and
in thinly settled regions they are usu-
ally free from contamination, al
though even here a tan bark plant
may lessen the desirability of the
water for domestic uses
Mines, especially coal mines, may
likewise discharge into streams their
drainage of acid and otherwise pol
luted waters with similar effect but
the most common source OF pollution
( is the sewage from towns and cities.
In fact, practically all the larger
streams and even many Of the small
er ones are highly polluted by such
sewage or by refuse from various
manufacturing plants. It is true that
such streams become gradually puri-
may be fairly safe, but the periodic
outbreaks of typhoid fever that oc-
our among the users of their water
are sufficient to indicate the imper-
feet nature of this publication.
Large cities without other accessi-
BILE sources will doubtless continue to
use river waters, but these waters
are now, as a rule, scientifically fill
tered before distribution. On NEST
farms, however, other and safer
sources are available, and stream
waters that are known to have re-
ceived drainage Or sewage from any
source should not be usc@ f-r drink

farm water supplies are discussed in

B. F. Faast, whose concern at Con-
rath is putting up seed potatoes as
carefully as oranges are wrapped and
packed, advises the Wisconsin Adj
vancement association that his sup
ply has been entirely exhausted at
$l2 per bushel. 1t is easy to see
that there is money in this. What
Mr.. Faast has done others can do
on the cheap lands of upper Wis.
consin. After deducting the cost of
preparing potatoes in this manner
the net returns are several times
the ordinary price OF potatoes. Why
go TO Canada and raise wheat with
4 return Of about $40 per acre?

The Saloon, the Grocer and the
Butcher

The Saloon, the Grocer ard the
Butcher
The Liquor Dealers Association OF
the state of Wisconsin is out to re-
peal part Of the excise laws of the
state The Milwaukee Free Press OF
November -, in prominent edi-
|torial. states the matter so we'll
that we ask every friend of good gov
eminent to read it with care.
president Langan, Of the Wiscon-
sin Retail Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton. declares that the saloonkeeper
should have as much right to collect
bills under the law as grocer or
butcher.
THAT proposition seems fair upon
its face-but only Oh it's face.
"A man goes to the butcher to
buy a beef roast, and he may stay to
buy chops and then steak sausage
and liver, but he continues RESPONSE
bic for his purchases.
If a nei2hhor happens in he does
not offer to buy him a roast, too.
In other words. whatever the man
buys at the butcher shop or grocery
he buys because he wants it and
buys for those who depend upon him
for sustenance. If the butcher or gro
GER trusts him for these purchases,
he does SO in the belief that he is
serving need and that the patron
is buying in the full possession Of
his faculties.
bills that are difficult of collection
We're contracted when the saloon pa
iron was more or less irresponsible
and when he INDUCED in the fool
practice Of buying drinks for others.
THAT, no doubt, is originally his
own lookout, but it becomes far more
the saloonkeepers lookout, since he
ministers to the creation of the ire
sponsible condition and then extends
should refuse the further purchase of
liquor even if the customer had mon
ey to pay for it.
That saloonkeeper, unlike the sro-
Ger or butcher, is serving his custo-
mer with something he does not
need, and which he is buying while
not in the full possession of his
faculties.
Moral consideration aside, the
financial responsibility in such a
transaction rests with the seller and
not the buyer
The fact that SO large a percent
age of saloon debts is irresponsibly
contracted, and with no effort on the
part of many proprietors to limit
them has placed such credit beyond
the pale of the law.
Before President Langan can hold
that the retail liquor business is as
legitimate as any other and entitled
to the same privileges. he must bring
about some very radical reforms in
the conduct of that business.
Instead of trying to make bar
bills collectible under the law. he
might begin by agitating the aboli-
ton of saloon credit
