Show CITY WATER GOOD proposition tills this coin coining monday april 18 tile tho of bountiful will vill hold bold another election to voto bonds for city water works evory every tux tax no doubt lias has boon been thinking tills this mutter over seriously and if so wo do not lot soo see that lie ho could have arrived at uny any other conclusion than that it would bo be to his host best interest to voto vote for tho proposition the first thing usually thought of Is will it cost us anything will our land bo be taxed and do wo we need tile tho water now wo think wo we should not worry about our land being taxed the only tiling thing to consider is is it a good gond investment will our faatu bo be worth moro more when tile the debt has boon paid through the alio water works it having boon been installed than it was whon when tho the obligation wits was assumed assum ass u mod od it doos does not prevent our building houses and inal making cing improve matits because thuy they cost money us its long us its tile the value is thoro there wo we would wager that no ono one would gould havo bava to soil it a CILY lot it a cent cheaper than the original liuo of 0 tile tho lot bonoro tho water works wore put in plu the taxes lio ila pays extra to pay for installing thorn them on oil account of tho the water works hoing in what applies to city lots also applies to forni farm land as you cannot sell a olby city lot for a high 0 figuro figure without affect on oab ing 1119 tile the price of the farm farin land but says ono 11 1 1 I 1 cant grow any more truck on my farm after tho the water works tire are installed i broat to sell my land but wish to koop it lor for my children now does docs it malce make any difference dilT orenco whether you make your money froan tho the truck or through the loud land in value tile tho main thing 0 I 1 is to make and save sao tho the money and tit at least tho the saving part of it is easiest done by the value of tile tho land increasing now as to keeping 0 your farm for your children that is to be an impossibility anyway for as soon jooa as land is needed for residence purposes it be becomes cornes too dear to farm and as soon as it is needed for business purposes it becomes to expensive for residence property on the same principle plo tile the two story store ila has to give way for tile tho skyscraper sky scraper the same is true about water it has the preference for house use over arri irrigation ra you can call no moro more stop the onward march ot 0 civilization than you can call a tornado but ono one good thing about it is that those who have to give way aro are always well paid for their property somo some think it is all ri right ht for down town but tile the bench prop orty should be loft left out in salt lako lake tho the bench property is the most su sought glit after for homos homes and wo tire aro confident that will bo be our experience here the en engineer V indor realizes this as ho is making r provisions for a reservoir high ti nn and covering tho the bench with pipes P tho tha same as down hero here wo we think ho is right C in this uT uter wo think whon when tho the street car line is built out here from t thu ai u city and car faro fare does no lit longer fluctuates so othata that a working man can tell exactly what tho the fare will bo be all the time that tho the bench will soon be dotted with the homes of men who work in salt lake and they will all need water there is fresh assurance in this his t direction I 1 how does it look in regard to tho the syphom boin bein 1 self support 1 iti I film the start and a money fildi 1 ahi 1 T i U till as i 11 11 I 1 f 1 ia 0 i I 1 alst lt tW atul duncas und and business housos und and that with tho wo already havo it can call bo installed Install eil for ov about of 01 courso course tho the pro sont debt of about lout i hlll have to bo be iod if 11 wo put tile tho aholo I 1 to tile tho system tind arld pay on oft tile the same saino at tho the rate of live P por cent it will amount to 1750 and not quitu quite double tills turio to pay off tho the debt in twenty years yeara now it would not bo be inconsistent to il cluro uro that lit in it a short with tile tho fifty wilt c I 1 users tho city already liny has and tile tho now houses that tire aro being bein and will bo built will have at least two hundred houses connected up at 1 per month tile rato rate now charged tills this would yield 2400 it a year this is tile the lowest rato rate charged there is an all additional charge fa f i a certain number of taps bathtubs each cow or horse lawn etc that we havo not counted in III which would greatly increase tho rl receipts apts probably nearly nearl y malco thorn them total ut at As soon as tho the hundred houses como come in wo we would have flayo money to spare oa as tile tho interest and sinking fund will only require I 1 por per year wo we ii have avo not however allowed anything 0 for mastors ser services vicos main to torance ton nance etc but till should not nol exceed it a few aundrea hundred dollars a year if not quite all of tile tho Br should bo be required re to Install tho sy system stoin then probably tho first antor interest t and payments into info thu the sinking fund funa could bo paid out of till thip amount if not in tilts this way it might inight bo be possible to defer alia starting star t ing of a sinking fund for it a year or two and if neither of tile tho above schemes would work the alie ux levy would only leave to bo be light as our assessed valuation la Is high being nearly double that of any other city la in the county last yeara thred enill tax in boo bo jn n city ralson avor 1800 1300 there is an all indirect way that business people other property owners and residents could got i some money to pay this tax with or if no tax bo be required would make money and ana that is in tho the reduction of fire insurance ilum hurn ber bar of cases oi of typhoid fever consequently doctor bills modi medicine etc how long could a man pay a mill tax with it a 75 doctor bill or a business house whore where tile tho insurance ianco is now 2 45 per redia reduced cod possibly ono half wo cannot soo see any way for tho the people to go water than by installing 0 a water system if we wedig dig 0 surface wells they would cost on an average close to 1100 a well and then there ther oara aru buckets pumps ropes etc to koop hoop in repair wells in town range 11 1 1 from one to ft iu in depth and in many pla places os on the bench you cant got get thorn at oil all so tho the into in rosL on would bo be 88 or 10 a year besides paying for buckets etc and car carrying carrein tile water and dry seasons wells go godry dry civilization has certain cor tain ly not made any inis mistake tako in in stalling water sy systems status oven even in ia towns that are remote from largo cities and this is all the more urgent near a large city from which a nearby town draws from 30 80 to families it year wt we have not kept accurate Curato ILC account but wo we fool feel confident that upwards of thirty families moved to bountiful last year and all it a big per cent of this number located within the city limits tile the proposed water system as planned by tile engineer cov ors nearly tile tho whole incorporated portion of tho the town from way kiy tip on oil tho the bench to below murk mark s in tho the northwest parley browns in III the southwest sout hwesi corner and to joh john n porters place on oil tho the main road wo va think tho the water
