All former Editorial What To Do Now? Ort.-r- . f' Why was the bond election on September 22 defeated? This question has been asked many times and now that the proposed construction of the sewer .plant and extension of thelines has heen turned down by the'citizens of Payson, what are we going to do? After giving the question some thought and, discussing it with several persons, we came up with three possible reasons why 229 persons voted No on the proposal and 210 voted in favor of the proposition. Reason one: The apparently high cost of the project The engineers estimate on the construction of the plant and extension of. the sewer lines to the eastern section of town would be about $620,000. Reason two: The high interest rate. The two questions submitted on the ballot called for. an interest rate not to exceed 6 per annum. Reason three: The engineers for the sewer project were from the same firm as are handling the curb and gutter project presently under construction in six areas of the city. The project would not have necessarily have cost the The state polution $650,000 called for by the bond election. the has board Payson project high priority this year and given has provisionally approved 140,000 as an outright gift. When bids are opened for a project such as this one, they are nearly always lower than the engineers estimate. Spanish Fork recently built a plant much similar to the one we proposed to construct here, the bid on their plant was $340,000. The OOD. engineers estimate on the Payson plant is about $450, Lower Interest Rale The 6 interest rate called for in the election, would most certainly not been the rate we would have to had to pay. A Denver firm had made an unofficial offer of 4Vfe on a straight .revenue bond issue. The bond election .held last year for $30,000 fire station bonds and $60,000 in hospital bonds called for an interest rate of not to exceed 5 per annum. When the fire station bonds and the hospital bonds were sold, the fire station bonds' called for an interest rate of The The hospital bonds were sold for 3Vi, 3 Vi 'U and because rate a interest for they called bonds higher hospital were for a longer period. The engineers, Fuhriman, Hodgson, Rollins and Company, some time ago, of Provo were hired for the the curb and for as hired were the. engineers long before they were hired under of matter a as fact, They, gutter project. have. we now' than administration a previous city The firm were thoroughly investigated before a contract was entered into by the city with them. They were found to be competitent and qualified. They have been the engineers on several big sewer plant projects, at the present time they have under their direction the construction of the Orem Sewer Disposal Plant which will cost over $1,000,000. I am of the opinion that when the curb and gutter project is completed will be a good job and a big improvement to our city and for the most part we will be happy with it . 3. 2. sewer-projec- t WHAT TO DO NOW? What to do now is the question. We must build a sewer now disposal plant we are the only large city in the cdunty we will be How sewer long disposal plant. without a good a directive without the to present plant operate permitted from the state polution board, cant be known. It has been suggested that we call a meeting of the city officials with the Chamber of Commerce board of directors, head of the civic clubs and other prominent citizens. Out of this meetihg, possibly a course of action could be determined. Another suggestion made was why not construct the discost of the Spanish Fork plant It posal plant.
