FACISABOUT PROPOSED
$4,000 BOND ISSUE

This bond issue will be voted upon
by the qualified voters of this city
at the coming municipal election to
be held at The City Hall on April 4,
1922.
This money is needed by your
city government for the replacement
Of the wood water mains with cast
iron mains and for many needed ad-
Gitions to the present water equip
ment.
One of the most needed additions
to the equipment consists of an ad-
ditional engine and generator unit.
The installation of this until will
insure an adequate water supply at
all times. The supply cannot be
guaranteed with the present equip
Tnent. In addition TO this, new
unit will mean cheaper and more eff
ficient operation at the plant with
consequent lower rates to eonsum-
ers.
Forty-seven per cent of all water
pumped into the standpipe at the
city plant is lost by leakage in the
wood main now serving the water
consumers of this city. This loss
takes into consideration the allow
able loss in water distribution and
also the consumption due to fires
and flushing.
II costs the city 80 cents per 1900
gallons to put this water into the
service pipes. On this basis the loss
TO the city on leakage alone will
amount to 100000 per year. In ad-
The Clayton news. (Clayton, N.M.) 19??-1954, 1922-03-10

clifton TO this, the potential value of
this water from a sales standpoint
is approximately 100000 making a
total loss of $4,000 per year 10 the
city.
There is an imminent danger to
the residents of this city due to
possible contamination of the water
from cess pool seepage entering the
wood main. Several towns in Che
country have suffered severe and
fatal epidemics from this cause.
These towns have had leaky wood
mains. BY replacing the wood main
before such a calamity occurred,
untold suffering could have been
averted. Clayton cannot afford to
take chances. After the damage is
done it is too late. Now is the time
to act. Vote for the Bond Issue and
protect your family from sickness
and worse.
The miscellaneous discharge line
from the swimming pool, which
serves to convey the water emptied
from the pool to the camp grounds,
has been relaid with iron pipe. The
original line was constructed of tile
with concrete joints, which was
found impracticable, as the expan-
sion caused the pipe and joints 10
crack, with consequent leakage. The
present iron line will serve this de-
mand for years to come with no fur
ther expense, and will give suffi-
cient water for irrigation at the
park grounds.
The City Office is publishing re-
port Of the municipal operations of
the last two years, with a complete
financial statement as of December
81, 1921. This report will be placed
in the hands Of every citizen and
should prove of considerable inter
est to everyone interested in the
welfare of the city. The financial
statement shows the city to be in
very good shape, with very sub
stantial margin of assets over liza
bilities.

MANY LEADING CITIZENS
WANT THE Water BONDS

At a meeting held last week in

cuss The pending issue Of bonds for
;hc completion of the present mu-
nicip2l plant, the progressive bust
ness men Of the town were present.
Meetings of this sort, as a rule,
90 not accomplish much. However,
this was the exception, for it re-
vealed two distinct phases OF the
present situation Clayton finds her
self in today.
1. This meeting revealed this one
lact Tht people Of Clayton are not
eonversant with the conditions un-
der which the water plant is oper-
ating at present. Because we are
having plenty of water at this time,
and also because we have suffered
no serious breakdowns at the water
plant, which have inconvenienced
The citizens for the past few months,
we have been led to believe our
troubles are over--that our water
plant is complete and serviceable.
2. That the water plant as il
stands today is losing proposition
and il would be q crime for the cit
liens of Clayton to permit the posi-
bilities of its becoming a real rev
cnue producer TO pass them by, be-
cause they feel satisfied to do with
uncertain service, which they have
had for the past few years.

Second Community Sale

Saturday, February 25th, under
the auspices of the Clayton Chamber
of Commerce the Second Commun-
ity Sale Day was held for Union
county.
Col A. Il. Chilcole was in fine
form. His trip to Oklahoma had
been regular pep producer" and
while he didn't get married, his
hopes were still running high and he
threw his usual spirit of optimism
into the sale that made il real
event. The offerings were very
good, and the sales were readily
made. =
The Chamber of Commerce has
recently had letters of inquiry from
other cities requesting information
as u method of conducting these
sales, since they are gaining much
favor in every community in which
they have been held.
With such q favorable beginning
the News is heartily in favor of the
continuation of this program. II
will not only stimulate business, but
will help us to bust the city limits
until Union county will be strictly
one community, with one well chos-
en- purpose and that will be to push
forward.

Clayton was offered last year, a

Clayton citizens were anticipating
the advantages of a splendid armory,
and the younger set we're thinking
their troubles at an end for some
place to hold their social functions.
When Clayton was all set and ready
TO go, the story of the negro and

This time. however, it was the u. S.
treasury department of national
guard organization, and Clayton cit
ixcns had the position on the outside

General Brown informs the News
that no funds will be available for
the Clayton unit until appropriations
are made in June Of this year.

priations are made Clayton will not
be left out Yhis organization will
not only bring to Clayton an armory,
