IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO
LIVE IN ARVADA

II the author of the the Brown
Stone Mansions had signed his name
TO the article we may not have got
The Arvada enterprise., 1923-03-29

1t will be seen that the first lot
will have to bear an assessment of
$40 and thAsecond an assessment of
only $25.
The taxpayer should realize that
the foregoing figures e.simply ten
tative and illustrative; and that the
actual assessment cannot be deter
mined until the district in which the
taxpayers property is located is
formed, and until contracts actually
have been let for the construction of
the district sewer in such district.
When the cost of the district sewer
has been finally determined the town
board must conscientiously, eauita-
bly, and fairly. take into considera-
ton all the circumstances and condi-
tions properly having any bearing
! upon the subject, arrive, in terms of
dollars and cents, at the benefits ac-
oruing from thc sewer to every nar-
eel Of property in the district. and
levy an assessment to pay for the
same. The taxpayer may pay this
assessment in frll. Immediately after
levied, less 3 per cent, or in install
ments over period of about 20
years, with interest.
Question: How does the cost of
sewer compare with the cost of a
cesspOol for property owner?
Answer: The value to lot of a
sewer is ut once apparen. when one
considers the cost of sewer. The
cesspool may cost from $50 to $50,
and such cesspool may not last more
than from three to five years. The
FEWER would cost probably around
$40, as noted before, and will last
Indefinitely and be without uainte-
nance cost The cesspool fills up
and must be emptied or a new cess
pool built. Thus it is seen that not
only does ccsspool cost in the first
place three times more than sewer,
but it viii also need continual re-
placer>ent.
Question: What is the law in re-
rard to the cncineer's compensation?

acted. Everybody come.
The Arvada enterprise., 1923-03-29

We stand for strictest economy in
handling your municipal affairs. We
are unanimously in favor of a sewer
"a sewer without a Joker. We are
in favor of building sewer at the
earliest possible date. Mt the lowest
possible cost, and before establishing
a district and locating sewer or let,
ting a contract for its construction
we will call II public mass meeting
and discuss the matter with all citi-
zens and taxpayers Of Arvada and
get your ideas before we start to
build the sewer. We believe that in
the management Of the affairs Of Ar
vadt the town board should consult
the citizens of Arvada and not itin-
Grant engineers, contractors and
bond sellers.

IN SCHULTZ, TOWN ATTORNEY,
TELLS ABOUT THE SEWER PLANS

Meeting with the sewer which a given
taxpayer is obliged to bear and which
the other property owners are not
burdened with. (For instance, sup
pose the sewer lines are laid at a
distance from one piece of property
greater than that at which laid from
another piece of property, necessi-
tating a longer sewer line in making
the connection, it would obviously
be proper to grant the owner of the
former deduction on that ac-
county
(e) The difference between the
value Of the property before the
sewer is installed and its value after
the installation of the sewer.
To illustrate how the statutory
rule will work out in actual practice,
let US take two extreme cases. One
of lot worth $1,000 and another
of lot worth s1OO-area and front
age the same. Say that the cost of
the sewer properly assessed against
the property in the district is 10 per
cent Of the assessed value of such
property, and that on the basis of
area such cost is approximately $40
per lot. Assume further that value
and area are treated as of equal
weight as determining factors. The
assessment against the more valu-
able lot would then be arrived at as
follows:
The Arvada enterprise., 1923-03-29

10 per cent Of 81 ,000 (assess-
ment on valuation basis)
10 lNu.'v
Area basis of assessment is 1000
Total $4,000
To strike an average, divide the
foregoing total by ., which gives $40.
Apply the same formula to the less
valuable lot:
10 per cent Of 500 $1,000
Are2 basis 1000
Total ------------$ $4,000
