Purchase Of Water company's Plant
Gives Immediate Municipal
Ownership At a Fair
Cost.

Without knowing within several
millions of dollars Of how much the
construction of new water plant by
the city would cost, but upon the
broad assertion that it will not cost
over $S,00O,OOO," property owners in
Denver are asked to start out on an
enterprise of building a new water
plant and take chances that the sup
porters of the new plant plan are
good guessers.
This is the most absurd of the
many unreasonable, and at times,
ridiculous proposals made to the vot-
ers of Denver by the follow u.s.
crowd that was gotten together from
among the discontented primarily to
back up a few who have set their
hearts on revenging themselves, if life
lasts, upon people against whom they
have a deep-seated personal hatred
for many years.
And the pity of it is that this few,
who have been more or less power
full in the past, are able to still exer'
else their magic upon certain ele'
ment, and lead them away from
sane consideration of the truth of the
water situation, by continuing tc
pl each destruction and ruin.
Denver demands and must have mu
nicipal ownership. We must have this
in the quickest possible time and at
the least cost. To buy the plant OF
the Denver Union Water company at
it's real value Is greatly to be pre-
ferred than to enter upon the indefi
mite and uncertain plan of construct
ing a new plant. The Retail Mer
chants proposition seems fair to all
sides and with the added offer of the
Water company of reduced rates
pending purchase, Denver voters
should have no hesitancy in deciding
that they will cast their ballots fol
the Retailers plan, and end this wa
ter controversy.-Adv

WHY THE STAR FAvoRs MoFFAT
TUNNEL.
|. Because we will own tunnel.

/. Because we will own tunnel.
The citizens of Denver will own the
Moffat Tunnel, the same as they own
the city hall, court house, parks,
streets or other city property, without
it costing them one dollar.
They will also have the right to the
use of the tracks of the Denver &
Salt Lake Railroad Company for 80
miles east and rs miles west of the
tunnel for other railroads at a rental
of per cent of the cost of construc-
ton.
It will increase the value Of the 27O,-
900 acres of school lands located in
the territory more than enough to
build the tunnel three times, which
will benefit the whole state.
2. Because here are a few OF the
advantages:
1t will put at least 10000 men to
work at good wages.
It will increase tire growth OF our
state outside of Denver 100000 inside
of five years, and with that increase
Denver can support 100000 more
people. ....
1t will bring $20,0oO,00o new capital
to the City of Denver, thus benehting
the city and whole state.
The tunnel is the financial key to
building the road on to Salt Lake City,
and is the key to the whole situation
of the Northwestern part OF the state:
The tunnel will belong to you as well
as all the valuable minerals found In
its construction.
It will solve the problem OF Denver's
water supply for all time to come.

END THE WATER FIGHT IN THE
RIGHT WAY.

Any effort to becloud the issue in
the water question should be resented
in the minds of the voters. The muck
raking being done is a discredit to all
connected with such program.
What Denver wants-and needs
most of all-is a fair and just settle
ment of the water controversy.
A calm and dispassionate view of
the proposition of the Retail Plan is
what the voters should attempt to ar
rive at before casting their ballots on
February II.
1t is inconceivable that a group of
Denver's most substantial citizens
merchants whose all is centered here
in an effort to acquire reputation and
standing as business men-would en-
ter into conspiracy to rob The peo-
pie through support Of a plan to give
the city prompt municipal ownership
of its water plant.
After all the principal thing to be
attained is to give Denver Municipal
Ownership. The building of an entire
ly new plant cannot be other than a
gamble from the start, and it assumes
the aspect of desperate plunge into
the region OF the unknown when one
considers the fact that water Is a
scarce article in and around Denver
just at this time.
The failure of many Of the big irri-
cation enterprises to develop into ef-
fective working concerns through
their inability to supply sufficient
water is evidence of the scarcity of
that essential. ~'
The Denver Union Water company
has been able to supply sufficiency
of pure, wholesome water to the city
for many years, and unquestionably
this company will fight through all
the courts any attempt to take from
them their claimed ownership of the
water which they are providing for
the city.
Rather than risk endless contro-
versy, which will throy the city into
turmoil, over this water, and the enor-
nous expense and waste of time in
building an entirely new plant, let us
buy the company's plant at a reason
able figure, fix it up where fixing is
needed, permit the people of Denver
to go on undistrueb di ntheir pursuit
of happiness and end forever this
seemingly interminable warfare be-
tween people whose only purpose
seems to be the venting of enmity
grounded in years of personal hatred.
The Retail Plan for early municipal
ownership at fair purchase price
and includes a 10 per cent. reduction
in rates while the final details of TAX
ing over the plant are being decided.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
improvements to Be Made by |. & G
N. Railroad Adopted.

A called meeting of the city council
was held yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock for the council TO look over
the plans and specifications OF i'm
proyements which the city will ask
the International a Great Northern
Railroad to make on the streets on
which their tracks are laid. These
plans were drawn by the city engi.
neer and were approved yesterday af-
ternoon By the council.
Following is an outline OF the i'm
provements which the road will be
asked to make:
Grading and graveling OF Bryan
street from the depot to the oil mill.
In the grading OF Bryan street the
present grade OF Fannin street viii
remain the same, and from Fannin
street north to Caldwell street the
railroad track will be lowered In
places as much as two feet. A curb
and gutter will be built along all prop
erty on Bryan street. leaving drive
way OF seventy feet. including the
railroad.
From Caldwell street to Franklin
street the railroad company will be
required TO fill the street In 100 feet
wide and win be required TO build un.
der the bridge on Bryan street con-
crete conduit for proper drainage. The
city storm sewers will be connected
with said conduit. From Caldwell
street to Franklin street will be filed
in on level with the railroad track.
Burleson street will be graded prop
erly and twenty-foot driveway will
be made on each side Of the track.
Curbs and cutters will be built along
the property thirty-two feet out from
the center OF the track on each side.
In laying out the drainage on each
street to be improved the city will set
the curbs and cutters so that each
block will take care Of the water that
falls thereon. The improvement on
Bryan street is thought to be neces-
sary for the improving of the inter-
secting streets to Main street.
When the International G. Great
Northern track is lowered on Bryan
street. West Anderson street will be
excavated from Bryan street to Red
Top street and made about three feet
lower in front of the present postoffice
building 10 give the street proper
drainage. This last improvement will
be made by the city.
The plans will be submitted to the
International & Great Northern of
| ficials Immediately
