JOURNAL PUBLISHtNG CO i esse GREAT DAY FOR OGDEN day's work was done AKPIJCNDID for the futur, of Og- den City when the water bond was voted by a majority of upward of two to one. It is an expression of faltn and confidence in the future of the city that means more than It is possible to realise at this time. By assuming this responsibility of ownership of the waterworks system, by saying to the world that It has absolute confidence In Its own ability and Its own Integrity to conduct Its own business In Its own way, this community, makes a definite start on the road that leads to true municipal greatness. accomp-ishme- overlooked that In The fact la voting this bond Issue the taxpayers have assumed a heavy burden. Many, In voting yesterday in favor of the municipal ownership of the waterworks system, made heavy sacrifice! because of their loyalty to the community In which they live. Their taxes were heavy enough before; they will be sttil higher now, at least, for the next year because of the purchase of title property. It Is not possible to buy property for $555,400 without paying for it and the money to pay for thla must conte out of the pockets of the property owners, whether it la paid in direct taxes or In water rents. The fact that tlte cltisens yesterday expressed a willingness to pay this amount to secure for themselves and their posterity the water system of thle city. Is a splendid tribute to their loyally, their faith and their public spirit. It Is the firm belief of those who have looked most carefully into this subject that the men and women who voted Tea1' on this Important proposition, will never hare cause to regret the step taken.
