WATER WORKS
and ELECTRIC
LIGHT BONDS

The notice of special bond election
running in this paper, by order OF
the Commissioners Of Logan City, is
the great issue which should receive
the careful consideration Of all tax
payers for the next few weeks.
A bond issue of $4,000, for in.
creasing, improving, enlarging, en-
tending perfecting and adding to the
present water supply and waterworKs
system" and for more adequately
supplying and distributing water 20
the inhabitants Of Logan City" is
asked for.
Tax payers will be interested in
noting that among other important
things the money is for "perrecting"
the city water system and little ~
vestigation on the part of any tax
payer will convince him that the city
administration has the matter well in
hand, and that in case the $4,000
bond issue is voted, the money iii
be sufficient to perfect the system so
that practically all the inhabitants OF
the city will have an adequate sup
ply Of pure fresh water.
During TIE past two years ten
mill tax has been levied by vote Of
the tax payers from which $4,000
has been collected. This money has
been expended on the "De Witt
Springs Extension" This year a
three mill tax has been levied from
which $4,000 will be colleced this
fall. This with the $4,000 is needed
to complete the de Witt Springs Eek.
tension and reservoir, and to enlarge
and extend the present distribution
system by adding another large dis
tribution main through the city, and
make extensions where there Is no
pipe line to various parts Of the city.
With this done there will be $4,000
I,of water works bonds outstanding,
the present bonded Indebtedness for
water works being $4,000. After com
pletion on the above basis, 1t is ar.
gued by the commissioners that the
, revenue from the water works de-
partment will pay the bonds before
, they are due, land that in the mean
time there will he no occasion for
any special taxation, The commits
sioners will no doubt have something
officially to say on the matter within
the very near future, and in the
meantime the tax payers would nc
well to think the matter over so as
to be ready to cast an Intelligent
ballot on election day.
$4,000 For Electric Light Plant
In addition to the above $4,000 is
asked for to rebuild, repair. recon
struct, extend and otherwise improve
the present electric lighting system
of the city. This is another very
important matter and before II can
| NC ih'NhitNh'iy pdoocu upoh IL Wouiu
seem in order that a complete and
exhaustive statement be made. In
the case of the waterworks, 1t is
apparent that II the bonds are voted
and the system completed in accord
ance with present specifications, the
future for great many years is clear
but in the electric light matter II
appears that the present request Is
but a small beginning. No doubt the
commissioners will have something
10 say on this matter Officially with.
in the next few days, setting forth
plans in detail and giving such fig.
ures that will enable tax payers to
see just what is necessary TO make
the electric light plant complete and
adequate.
