LINTON TO HAVE WATER
WORKS AND SEWER SYSTEM

The city council met in adjourned
session on Monday evening Of this
week to confer with T. R. Atkinson,
civil and consulting engineer Of Bis
marck, who came here at their re.
quest to give advice concerning the
installation of a water works and
sewer system. Mr.. Atkinson, who
was formerly state engineer, has.
during the past six years, design
ed and supervised the installation of
water works and sewer systems in
ten cities and villages in the state,
the cities of Wilton and Anamoose
having been completed by him in De-
cember of 1918. The engineer had
with him the assessment lists of the
cost assessed against the lots in these
two cities and the list showed that
the total cost to a fifty foot lot in
front of which water mains and sewer
mains were laid to be $40. This
cost is spread over a period Of 10
years on water mains and 20 years
on the sewer mains, 30 that the aver.
age annual payment lincluding inter-
est on deferred payments) for the
water mains was $40. 20 for ten years
when it will be fully paid, and the
average annual payment for the
sewer mains was -. .25 for twenty
years when it will be fully paid.
The law provides that any property
owner assessed for improvements Of
this kind may pay his assessment in
full at any time, whereupon all inter-
est and further payments cease.
After questioning Mr.. Atkinson fully
concerning the construction and as
sessment Of the two systems, the city
council deemed it advisable to have
him make detailed survey of the
city and prepare plans and specifica-
tions and detailed estimate of cost
and present them at the first meeting
of the city council in February and
should it then appear that the cost is
not excessive, the matter will then be
presented to the citizens for their ap-
proval or disapproval.
If the city of Linton desires to keep
on in it's present growth and pros
perity it would seem that now is the
proper time for every one to get be-
hind the proposition and help push it
through.
The cost cannot be in excess Of the
cost Of hundreds of other cities and
villages in the northwest and the cost
is 50 small in comparison with the ben
efits received that it would seem to be
ths height of folly to let the present
opportunity pass without making a
serious attempt to put it through.
During the past few years we have
made many improvements on our
streets and sidewalks and we know
that we shall feel fully as well salts
fed with . complete and up to date
water and sewer system a. we have
felt over the Improvement work al
ready done. Aside from the health,
convenience and comfort to be derived
from these systems, there is also a
material advantage to be gained in
the decreased cost Of insurance and the
increased value Of the property in
front Of which mains are layed.
Furthermore, should the work Of con-
strdction go forward the contractors
viii probably spend $4,000 locally in
labor and supplies, all Of which will
increase the business Of every store
and shop in the city. :.
