REAPING BENEFIT
From the Experience Of Deming
People.

We are fortunate indeed to be able
to profit by the experiences Of our
neighbors. The public utterances Of
Deming residents on the following sub
ject will interest and benefit many of
our readers. Read this statement.
No better proof can be had.
W. II. Carson, 400 w. Spruce st.
Deming, says: Sometimes when I do
too much heavy work, or catch cold.
my back and kidneys bother me. When
bend over, sharp pains catch me and
I can hardly straighten up. l have
spells of dizziness and spots seem to
float before my eyes. As soon as l
feel an attack Of this kind coming on
I use Doan's Kidney Pills. They al
ways straighten me up in good shape"

OLD DIR. CHARACTER

Tzu Lao Shing character, old
healing teacher) was what he was
called In Chinese, and character he
was, too; of Arabian extraction, tall,
angular, few hairs on his upper lip
in lieu OF mustache, very little hair
on his head, with short, thin que,
immense horn-rimmed spectacles, edu-
Gated in the medicine shops by some
old noted medicine man and by some
OF the priests in the temple till he had
acquired face as mobile as the sphinx
.and dignity which seemingly nothing
could shake.
A suave voice at my side, speaking
words which I did not understand,
asking my honorable name, my honor
able country, finally ending with the
request that the great man, the Doc

was ordained not TO be our last and
more than once Western medicine and
science was pitted against the super
stition, nominations and ignorance of
the east, often with DR.. Tzu ON the
other side.
DR.. Tzu had medicine shop on the

friend used In his extensive practice.
Curious things were found-sure there
were many good medicines even In the
ideas of the foreign devil doctor, yet
there were jars of scorpion stings, horn

WATER AND SEWER BONDS

The constitution of New Mexico pro-
vides that there Is no limit to the in
debtedness that may be incurred, either
for the purchase or construction of u
water or sewer system and that bonds
for either purpose can only be issued
upon majority vote Of qualified elect
ors who have paid n property tax dur.
ing the preceding year. Such election
can only be held at time of regular
election Of city officers, after notice
has been published in newspaper of
general circulation for five weeks prior
to such election.
Consequently the question OF bonds
for water system cannot be voted on
until the regular election In 1922. II
sewer bonds are defeated at this cleo
ton 1t win be two years before the
town can again vote on the issuing OF
bonds for that purpose.
The issuing OF bonds for any purpose
other than water or sewer bonds Is lin
tied by statute TO one and one-third per
cent Of the assessed valuation Of prop
erty situated within the corporae limits
of the town. This limit will probably
bar the town from acquiring any pub
lie utility other than water system
and sewer system, and which, as
above stated, can be issued in any
amount at regular elections only upon
vote Of the people.
The issuing of $4,000 Of sewer bonds
to run 40 years, as proposed, will re-
quire $4,000 to pay, which sum will
be raised by taxes at the rate of
s4,250 a per year. To raise this amount
on our present valuation will require s
levy of. mills, which is only 81 on
each 1000 assessed valuation. As the
assessed valuation of the town in
creases this rate will decrease. 1t is
certain that our assessed valuation will
double long before the bonds are due
and in that case the rate would be only
50 per 81 900 instead of 81.
Letters of inquiry to the city clerks
of Deming and Silver City in regard
to the amount of water used to flush
their systems bring back replies that
Deming uses about 5000 gallons per
day, for which the local water COM
pany charges the city $3.50 per month.
In Silver City, owing to the steep
grade upon which their sewer SYSTEM
is constructed, so little water is used
that the water company makes no
charge to the city for water used
through the flushing tanks.
Thus you have the extremes between
a very flat system at Deming and a
very steep system at Silver City 1t
is estimated that Lordsburg would be
between these two in the amount OF
water used.
The local water company has a
humping capacity of 100000 gallons per
day and the consumption of water by
the town at the present time is about
10000 gallons daily, so 1t can readily
be. seen that there is no lack Of water

City can be seen at the office Of the

making at least total OF s150,0O0, or
three times what some understood the
whole plants estimation.
At the present time and the condi-
ton Of the city Of Deming financially
II is believed that the purchase Of the
water company will be the most feast
Bile. When the water plant Is paid fol-
and the other indebtedness Is lifted
the city will have free water to pave
with. II is understood that the heavy
taxpayers don't want 10 shoulder Il
heavy burden as paving as the front
foOtage with few would be tremend-
Gus and the cost would be much greater
on account of private ownership of the
water, which is big item IN mixing
concrete.
Some cities vote that one-half or one
third the entire expense would he as
sessed proportionately among all tax
payers, but some think II absurd to
take in consideration anything more
than the water question. which is, of
course, the most beneficial to the ma
jority. Water is IA necessity, paving Is
II luxury
The citizens must not listen 10 the
dictum Of few, but they must use
their own volition in all matters per-
tanning to municipal development.
In our last publication we began the
embryo series of articles as to munich
pal ownership of water works, the
same which became very popular IN
the past decade ms well as profitable
throughout the United States. | admit
the Headlight and Graphic are better
posted than l in this matter.
To my knowledge this is not the first
attempt to forcibly point out the spe
cific channels through which waste
occurs by city not owning their owl
water works. many of which may have
passed unnoticed by the average eitl
zen.
This vital subject has been over
looked perhaps by the class that has
the most to say in city politics because
| they would not be benefited as much
as the small home owner proportions
iate!y.
! But now the ice is broken, the ctti'
zens have the chance to purchase some
thing at a very low cost which is an
asset to the citizens and not ha'
bility. II is something that they have
been praying for, especially those that
have been where water, 1.-The Gilt oil
