CITY WATERWORKS ELECTION IS TO Be HELD ON SATURDAY
Ten Reasons
Why MaryUiNe Should Own Her
Own Water Plant
Editor The Times:

Editor The Times:
submit the following ten why Maryve should own
her waterworks system:
FIRST-Franchses for public utilities inherent in the peo-
pie and should not be given to individuals corporations
SECOND-Prof the operation of such utilities will be-
long the people and may be used for their benefit.
THIRD-Should there be loss in the operation of such u
ties it will be borne by the people whole result
paired and inadequate service would be the private
ownership
FOURTH the of private ownership there would be
city for hydant which would result in increased tax
when this charge pped the interest of the cost of
the will practically equaze thereby resulting In
increase taxation between municipal and private municipal
ershp
FFTH-The principle that most dishonest will not
hold true honest and there be but conc
sion and that is that Maryve will have honest commission
manage waerworks and will obtain economical management
as private ownership.
SXTHThe water system belonging to the people the people
will have in their power correct inadequate service
SEVENTHThe construction of public utilities, either by the
people private usually let by competitive bidding and as this
will be the case in Maryve builds her water plant
there should be increase in the cost of the installation under
municipal and private ownership.

Sentiment GroWS
For Town Plant
Records Show That Municipal Own-
ership is Preferred in Nearly
All Towns With Plants

The municipal water works
bond election will be held Satur-
day. Voters of Maryville will
determine by ballot whether
the city council shall issue $55, 600
in bonds for the construction of
a waterworks plant. 1t is gen.
orally believed that the issue
will carry. Sentiment favoring
the bonds has been growing very
rapidly and many who were op-
posed to the issue one month ago
are now working for its passage.
No town that has ever con-
structed its own plant has dis
posed of it to a private Individual
or corporation" said Norman B.
Morrell, of Knoxville, in an ad-
dress at the court house here last
Friday night, on municipal own
ership of water plants. But
many towns which have issued
franchises to private individuals
and corporations have bought
back the plants, 4 continued Mr..
MorreIl.
The address was listened to 3y
between 80 and 100 men. TIE
clear cut and logical arguments
had their weight in the minds of
TIM hearers. He said he did not
know whether the proposed bond
issue should be passed or not but
he did assert that municipal own
ership of water works is always |
preferable to private ownership. |
"Monopolies are undesirable,
and private ownership of a water
plant is certainly a monopoly of |
the most undesirable type, said |
Mr.. Morrell. He asserted that he
once tried to get a franchise for |
a corporation which he represent
ed to construct a $45, water

by the superintendent and teach
ers to eliminate all hardness and
fix in the minds of the pupils the
importance of punctuality and
regularity. 1t is hoped that all
parents will cooperate.
The telephones which were
placed in the school buildings by
the Improvement Leagues are
proving to be quite a convenience
and are very much appreciated.
Rev. J. W. Browning conduct
ed chapel service at the East
Side school Wednesday morning,
March 8, and gave a very inter-
esting and instructive talk.
Rev. J. A. Smith visited the
West Side school March 4, and
conducted the chapel service.
Miss Smith, teacher of art at
college, is now giving the teach
ers in the city schools instruction
in drawing. One hour each week
is devoted to this work.

TOMATO CLUBS ARE
TO BE ORGANIZED
Girls Desiring to b. come
Members Asked to No
tify Miss Broadly
Opportunity to Make $50
to 500 With a Few
Weeks Work

Blount county girls who desire
to become members of the Toma-
to clubs this year are asked to
send their names and addresses
to Miss Nancy L. Broadly, county
superintendent of schools. Or
ganization of clubs will be begun
soon, and it is important that
girls apply early, join at the be-
ginning of the work, and thus
avoid the loss of time in prepar-
ing the soil and setting out the
plants. Seeds and instructions
will be furnished free to all club
members. -
A study of the successes of to-
mato clubs will convince the most
doubtful as to the benefits to be
derived from these organizations.
Last year about fifty girls were
in the county clubs. This year
the membership should be not
less than $50. With the fine soil
of which Blount county boasts,
our girls should reap as rich re-
turns as do girls in any counties
in the state, and many are max
ing more than $100 clear each
from their tenth-acre
tomato plats. The entire time
put into the work is less than two
weeks. So one can readily see
that the pay is excellent.
This year unusually attractive
prizes will be given to winners in
Blount county clubs.
1t is announced that there will
be no boys corn clubs in the
county this year. This is indeed
to be deplored, as the corn club
work has been a great incentive

plant in Maryville. But the coun-
Gil believed it net best to issue
the franchise. He said that he
told the councilmen then that he
believed it could find no better
franchise than the one he repre-
sented and the only reason he be-
lieved it should not be granted,
was that municipal ownership
would be preferable.
Mr.. Morrell referred to the two
most recent franchises before the
council, neither of which was
granted. Neither of those, he said
contained one word as to the pur-
ity of the water which the back
ers proposed to furnish. The
quantity was referred to, but not
the purity. He said that the pur-
ity of the water is the thing the
citizens should demand, and this
can best be secured through mum
icipal ownership.
The speaker said that he had
studied the waterworks question
for a good many years and that
after investigating many towns,
he found that of about 855 which
have waterwork plants, and
which he studied, nearly 800own |
their own systems. In those towns
which issued franchises, he said !
the towns furnished about ninety /
per cent of the support of the
plants during their first few
years of operation. This comes
from hydrant rentals. The fran
chise read that the town shall pay
so much each for a certain num-
ber of hydrants, and an equal
amount for all others installed.
That will soon run up into the
thousands of dollars, said he, and

to farm boys to help in the inn
provement of their fathers
farms. Boys in these clubs have
produced two and three times as
much corn as their fathers usual
ly reap from their fields. Thus
it can be seen that the clubs are
beneficial, and certainly it is a
mistake not to, give the boys the
benefits that come from training
in scientific farming under direc-
tion of a scientific expert. The
work of c. F. Striplin the past
few years was most gratifying
and the results should encourage
officials to make provision for the
employment of a corn club direc-
tor the coming season,
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-03-18

a three-nozzle hydrant can be
bought for $17.50
Mr.. Morrell related the history
of the Knoxville water plant and
said that during the first few
years of it's existence the city
paid ninety per cent of the cost
of operation for the use of hy-
drants.
The hours for the election are
the usual hours in Maryville. 1t
is believed that a large vote will
be polled. 1t is hoped that voters
will express themselve at the
ballot box, and pile up a big ma
jority for the issue.
There has been some criticism
of the absence of provision for
sewers. Has any corporation
which has sought a franchise
proposed to build sewers? None.
and the city proposes to issue
more money for the water plant
than have the persons who sought
franchises, in some instances.
The city can build it's own plant
and then issue bonds for the con-
struction of sewers. AS we are
informed, this is the plan. Other
towns have built sewers from the
earnings of the water plant, and
what other towns have done
Maryville can do.

$149.5O Secured For Pur.
chasing Books For
Various Schools

Last fall the teachers and pu-
pills of the city schools raised
STATS for the purpose of buying
books for the school libraries.
Application was then made
through Prof. Mccall for state
aid. The state, after some delay,
gave an equal amount, which
means that $149.5O has been in
vested in books for the schools
during the school year. This is
not much but it is a beginning,
and all feel that the, effort was
worth while. A part of the
books are here and are being en-
joyed by the pupils. Some of the
books were to be shipped from
New York and have not yet been
received.
Pupils are permitted to take
books from the library on Friday
and are required to return them
on Monday.
The reference books are prov
ing to be of great value to both
teachers and pupils in their work.
The average attendance of pu-
pills for February was higher than
for the month of January.

County Fair
Is Proposed
BLount Farmers and Business Men
viii be Mutually Benefited
BY County Fair

If you are going, to have a
county fair next fall-and your
county certainly ought to have
one now is the time to begin
planning for it. Talk it over
with your local editor, your busi-
ness and professional men, and
your teachers, and get your
county Farmers Union and your
town chambers of commerce in
terested. ..,
1t will not be hard to get up
the prizes. You will need some
cash premiums and some prizes
in the form of goods, etc, donat-
ed by merchants and others for
the older people; then some pure:
bred pigs or improved machinery
offered IS prizes fer the Corn
Club boys, and some E3oks. nag
azines, subscriptions, ETC., for
the Canning Club girls. Then,
as for the rest, the honor of hav-
ing beaten all C mpctitors and
carried off a blue or red ribbon
or an engraved certificate in
proof of victory will be attraction
enough for other prizes. 1t is
the winning and not the thing
wor which most stimulates pride
and effort. AS the Asheboro
Courier says in urging a fair for
its county:
mo costly buildings are nee
essary; plenty of room. can be
found with little expense. 1t
will take some money, to be sure,
to purchase the prjzea, but that
can be had. Fairs bring people
together; old friends greet each
oIher, and new acquaintances
are made. A fair encourages
and others to further
effort. Nothing advertises re-
sources and possibilities of a
county like fair. Household,
agricultural and school exhibits
can be made a great success in
this county, and live stocA exhib-
It's will be excellent. din
Think about the county fair
idea; we must have it. THE Pro-
gressive Farmer.
Why could BlOunt coun-
ty not have a fair this
fall? 1t will be worth a
good many times what it
costs. LET'S BEGIN TO
ARRANGE FOR ONE.

l-ast Days of PrzemysI.

PETROGRAD, March 2S. - Events which preceded the final desperate sortie of the beleagured garrison at Przemysl. which was designed to break through the encircTiug ring of Russian troops are descrihed in an official communication which was is- sued here this morning.
 Tho statement was preceded by one issued last night which says that the Russians captured nine Austrian gen. erals, 300 other officers and more than 90 GOO troops. Many large guns, hun dreds of field pieces, thousands of stands of small arms, great quantities of ammunition and other stores and supplies.
 The statement describing the events leading up to the surrender. The statement says
 During the last days before the final sortie from Przemysl the garri- son received increased rations. Each soldier was issued biscuits for five days warm clothing. new boots and increased allowances. The officers were instructed to explain to the troops that if they returned to the fortress an inglorious fate awaited them. consequently they must pierce the Russian front at any cost.
 After this preparation, more than 10000 troops were selected and order ed to participate in the sortie. How ever. several units refused to move despite the urgings of the commands CTS.
 "Finally only the Twentythird Hon. we'd division and some parts of the Elghty.ffth Landwehr and the Fourth Hussars took an active pari. in the at. tack. They were promptly and de- cisively defeated.

WILSON TO HOLD BLOCKADE UNIaAWEU |

WASHINGTON. March 2S.-it is understood that the Identical note of President Woodrow Wilson. which wnl be sent to Great Brltain and France. will urge objections against che blockade against Germany on the eround that there is no precedent in the history of international affairs for such a declaration, and that there is no basis for 1t in law.
 The note will, it is said, cover the whole situation, setting forth the or. guments and precedents to sustain the position of the United States. It IS believed, also. that the note VIII be ID strong language.
