people here who protested that it rep
resented huge waste of money. as 1t
was larger than we ever would need.
Our water system has been paying
for itself and leaving a splendid
profit. When the improvements at
present contemplated shall have been
made it will continue to pay for it
self. The revenue from the water
sold will by the time the bonds shall
have been redeemed amount to most
of the cost and interest, and from that
time will leave big profit in the city
treasury each year.
The amount of bonded Indebtedness
Flagstaff now has is s207,0 900. $685.
900 of that is sewer bonds, 100000 is
represented in the new city park
bonds. The water bonds have been
cut down in the short time since the
system was built to only $4,000. The
final payment will be made in 1928.
The last one of the other bonds now
outstanding will be paid in 1849.
The engineers have made most
exhaustive study of the situation here,
Investigating all possible sources OF
supply, carefully studying the springs,
the present reservoir and storage line
pipes and the pipe system through
which the water is distributed
throughout the city, They have over
looked no detail. The report is mar
vel of completeness and understanding
of our water resources and needs.
City council agree with the engin-
eers that it would be wisest to build
an additional 50.O00.O00 gallon reSer-
voir near the two present reservoirs.
This the engineers estimated Will cost
1922 ,503. They recommend improve
ments in the gathering system at the
springs to cost S15,245; an additional
flow line to cost $148,000, and en-
largement end extension of the dis
tribution pipe system throughout thA
CITY to cost S64,150. The engineering
fees would be $22,490, making a total
for the whole Improvement of $42,3S0.
This would be covered by bonds which,
it is estimated, would be retired IN
1862.
Looking Up Land
But the statutes may prevent al is
sue of that amount of bonds IN addi-
tion to our present bonded indebted
ness. That point is being gone into
carefully, so that no mistake may be
made. In case bonds to that full
amount cannot be issued legally, the
alternative is to get along for the
present without the additional flow
line. 1t is believed that perfecting
the gathering system until it can be
assured that the present flow pipe

Dog License Next.

Preparations are now being
made to take care of the licensing
of dogs for 1924 as required by
provisions of the Wisconsin Dog
Law. The Shawano Journal says
that approximately 10000 dog tags
are manufactured and furnished
to the various county clerks for
distribution to the town, village
and city treasurers who issue the
license. Recent reports show that
the dog law is steadily gaining in
favor, and that the protection
that it offers to owners of stock
killed by dogs is of great aid. By
taxing all dogs, an ample fund is
provided which is sufficient to
take care of all losses sustained.

WISCONSINS CLIMATE
People Have Delusions Re-
garding Climate in State.

Why" said a lady the other
day, 1 never saw such wonderful
weather in my life, and we were
warned about this climate. / can't
understand it!'
1t isn't surprising that people
who do not live in this region
should have unfavorable decisions
about the climate here, nor that
people who have dropped in for a
few. days in the spring when a
northeast gale was blowing the
full length of Lake Superior,
should imagine it must be really
dreadful. here in the colder seas
ons of the year, but the trouble
Is there are a whole lot of people
who have lived here all their lives
without discovering what a won
derful climate they were living in.
Apparently their experience of
other climates has not been suffi-
GENTLY extended to afford them
good basis of comparison and they
have taken the warnings of out
siders who dropped in for few
days at the wrong time too much
to heart.
1t may be freely admitted that
there are unpleasant days here
now and then at almost all sea-
sons of the year and that there
are good many other places
where March, April May, and June
are more enjoyable as whole
than here. But a climate is not
judged by single season and it is
pretty safe bet that the climate
here at the Head of the Lakes will
furnish more enjoyable days out
OF the average year than the eli
mate in any other given region of
this country.
All falls may not be as fine as
this, but our falls are notably fine,
and while there are stormy days
in winter, that season as a whole
is more enjoyable than it is
througout the middle belt of the
United States, and to the robust
person, who lives a good deal in
the open air, just as enjoyable, al
though in a different way, as the
winters of the Gulf Coast. Some
of our summer days may be cool,
a few of them, but that is more
than counterbalanced by the fact
that practically none of them are
too hot.
The spring is the season least
generally approved, but that is
partly matter of taste and there
are some who find even that sea-
son highly invigorating and en-
joyable
Whether climate is enjoyable
or not may be matter of opinion,
but whether it is healthful or not
Is matter of statistics and mort
atty, and disease statistics show
beyond dispute that there is no
more healthful climate in the
country than right here. Super
