purposes and the tax ac payers of brigham city will be privileged to say whether they I 1 want the city to bond for the sum of I 1 for or improvement of the w vater a works in connection with the obligation for road purposes it seems to us that all the meats avo ring bonding for or roads have been bei nus used d when the matter came before the he people last year the question was pretty thoroughly discussed and the majority of the taxpayers voted in favor of 0 bonding if it was the lie right thag to do then why is it not the right thing to do now had it not been for a little technicality in the law of which our county fathers knew nothing at the time the county would have come into possession of two hundred housand dol dollare larg vs is a result of the bond election carrying but when the money was getting closer and closer the technicality bobbed up and the entire transaction was ani in view of that fact the com r s felt that he be people jh ild be given 0 c more chance and so a notice was prepared conforming to the requirements of every known authority on the matter and it has been published tor for the required length of time and the election comes next tuesday the notice states clearly where the money shall be expended and every taxpayer in every precinct should get hold of a copy of that notice and ana read it carefully they will then be made fully acquainted with the situ situation atlon and in a position to vote intelligently upon the matter that box elder county needs roads I 1 cairol be htiu cl that bluin 1 is an easy way in which to raise funds without burdening the people is equal ly without question that it will re quire more funds than arc at present I 1 at the disposal of the commissioners for road purposes to wake make any kind kima af 6 f a sl oming ing Is also an admitted fit so eo why the use ot bf more argument when a busine business 28 man anim finds his work ing capital insufficient he sets about to increase it and is considered a sale sa c and sane business man when a community finds its working capital clent it ft has the same same right to increase it and bonding is one of the avenues it is done b by communities ra in almost every part of the world the amount of the bonds for each purpose being limited by statute so that unwise executives cannot bankrupt the com commons monN balth and in the case of box bos elder county the law makes it possible to bond for something 0 er according to our present assessed valuation for road purposes the commissioners ners are not asking tor for the full amount this time only with which it would be possible to construct roads and install bridges where they are sorely needed today giving to the people of 0 the county increased faaili ties in transportation an absei asset of great importance to the growth and devel of an any y community if if the people w want ant good roads the opportunity is given them to express their views next nest tuesday as to whether they want to get some of 0 them started iu in construction at once or whether they prefer to tak take e the slow cr method of making the annual mile mileage of good road construction conform to the funds which can be used for that purpose through the regular system of 0 taxation it Is it a bis big question one in which every every taxpayer should interest himself and be ed d to vote intelligently upon the peo plo are the sovereign in this fat fair 1 land of ours and our county officials official d desire 1 the people to express themselves in this matter for the people rule in the matter of 0 brigham city bonding for water works purposes there should not be any necessity tor for argument when the present system was first proposed a storm of protest wasi was raised by some and they were sincere in their opposition nut but the majority ruled and the water works were installed today the persons who opposed the system admit their mistake and nd tire are among the most staunch supporters of the present movement to bond again for the improvement of the water works 1 last spring when the great flood i occurred it filled the cites pipe in box bos elder canyon with rocks and dirt almost from one end to the other to clean it out was an impossibility and to replace the pipe was equally impossible for the reason that the city had no funds since that time tho the city reservoir has been supplied as best it it could be from the nearest springs the supply is insufficient and property is jeopardized by reason of that insufficiency at the same time there is an abundance of the purest clearest and coldest water that springs from the earth running to waste up in ia the canyons which ought to be coming into the city reservoir it has been estimated that by laying in a suitable pipe line that will tap all the springs along the line to a point up in devils gate canyon the supply will be ample for Brigham for all time with the expenditure of 0 the amount asked for the improvements can be made and the water supply secured twice that amount yea three times that amount would be cheap it if we had to pay it or go without the water another thing that should be remembered by the taxpayers ot of the city those who aday m ay not bo be on tho the water mains at prem preset nt hasten the day ot of getting that convenience into their homes by voting the bonds for it is ie the purpose of the city officials to expend nearly ot of tho the total sum sum in making extensions to those who have already made application as aa well as to others had and they do not com commence to pay one dollar in hi the redemption demotion tion a ot oi the bonds until aby get connected up with the water mallis mains and then they are given water in return far for the tax in other words the revenue from the water works will pay off the bonds when they come due and the citizens will bo be enjoying the convenience in the meantime all authorities on bonding axe are unqualifiedly in baior fa or of that manner of raising funds for making public improvements prove ments such as water works systems electric light plants and the like and brigham citizens have had enough experience in the business already to know that such procedure is absolutely safe and wise vise therefore turn out on tuesday next and roll up a good majority in favor of tho the bonds in order that we vve might get the public improvements that are so vital to our progress as well ell ns as our happiness and comfort |
