LET US HAVE FILTRATION

While the water bond proposition

jecti6nal from many standpoints. III"
Intclligencer is inclined to believe that
a proposition providing for filtration
alone would be acceptable to the voters
of this city. There is OF course. Il very
sensible objection 10 any addition to
the burdens OF the city proper preceding
The greater city incorporation. How
ever, th~rr is a thought in connection
wit9 the filtration project which in a
sense eXernpts it from the general op-
position 70 further heavy expenditures
at this time Should greater Wheeling
be incorporated. in the very nature OF
things it will be some time before any

and if VIC arc not To have filtration in
Wheeling UNTIL after these things are
done, we will hc denied filtration for
many years yet. On the other hand II
filtration proposition should be sub
mitted 10 all the voters Of greater
Wheeling the voters Of Warwood and
out -the-pike territories might very
properly argue that they could receive
no Immediate benefit from filtration and
would. therefore. oppose it
The logical thing 10 do at the present
time Is for the citizens OF w ncellnS 10
provide themselves with filtration at a
moderate expense. They can do this N
a cost of from four TO five hundred thous-
and dollars and it seems to the 1ntcIli-
gcncer that il ought to be done in the
very near future. Other improvements
can wait until the greater city is incor-
tions named above this Improvement
might wait until after greater Wheel
ing is formed. but we ought not delay
filtration Indefinitely. and to wait until
after greater Wheeling is formed will
mean an indefinite delay.
