Water SERVICE EXTENSIONS

The City Water Bond Issue should be increased. If there is no
money in the city golfers, it is high time to provide some for such
vital and necessary work.
A city grows only as fast as its water supply. The poor man
in Casper can not buy a lot today with city water on it. because
any lot with city water is held at n more or less exorbitant price.
This fact is one of the greatest factors in the unnecessarily high
cost of living in Casper.
The obvious result is that the most ordinary sanitary condi-
tons are violated in Casper ms they are in few, if any, other cities
of $4,000. The working man who wants his own home is forced
to purchase a lot in some outlying section, where there is no water,
no sewers, and no other improvements.
The labOring man has as much right to a decent place in
which to live as anybody else. Simply because he can not pay as
much for property, is no reason why he should be arbitrarily de.
prived Of the ordinary comforts Of life. People Of small means
should be able to buy land with water on it. They can not do this
unless the city keeps progressing and putting in improvements.
Paved streets are a fine thing, but city water is more vital.
The city council ought to take action Immediately and sec that
additions to the city are provided with adequate means of devel-
opment. Nobody will erect decent houses in restricted sections
which have no water. and the poor man should not be forced to
put up shanties in unrestricted sections which have none.
