Show MORE WATER TALK for a number of years past brigham Brig liam city has had very striking illustrations of her absolute need of more water these costly lessons have made their impression upon our minds at the time we were getting then them and our determination to correct the situation before another such experience was stimulated to the most active stage ot of activity but we have permitted the time to pass without vit bout taking any definite steps and now agothar year is s upon us and it does not require a prophet to make a guess that the water shortage will be just as acute to if not a little more ia so this i 1 i t yearl year than ever before deliberation I 1 must characterize arize erize the launching of every iiii big movement arnov earnt but when necessity cornea comes along then deliberation means suffering and sometimes death what have we done citizens to safeguard safe siard our water supply and guarantee antee enough water tor for even our bare needs practically nothing and do you know that water Is be becoming comini more scarce every year more expensive and harder to secure time was ewhen when brigham city could have ap all tile the water sho she would need for practically all time but the opportunity was permitted to pass and we tand stand today a community whose progress is seriously hampered and I 1 even threatened just because we have not sufficient water to meet our requirements quire ments wily why procrastinate why not go ao som ethrig right now every day we delay the problem becomes that much harder to solve and bear this in mind the price of bf water is going ging up like everything else because it is getting scarce wily why should we wait when we have the expensive experience of 0 other cities to enlighten us its as to the absolute tolly folly of such a coursed salt lake city did just as brigham Bris liam is doing and when the people 0 that city alty finally awoke to the fact that the town would bould burn up it if more mare water was not secured the city went ahead and constructed expensive canals and installed pumping plants to bring the iho waters of utah lake miles up to salt lake to exchange with farmers in order tuat the city might have the call canyon water for its water system suca a proceed ure costs money and yet brigham city is going serenely along worrying little over the future apparently trusting to good fortune to open opell the way when the absolute exigencies of the case demand that something be done springs that could have been pur chabad a few years ago at a reasonable figure are worth more tod today ay and the owners are asking the advanced price those springs will get no cheaper and if the cit city falls fails to take this opportunity to secure them it will have to pay a great deal more in another year or years from now As citizens we ought to auth authorize oriz nay demand that our representatives in the city government go right ahead and secure all the water they can purchase right now there is still much water going to waste which can be secured it bought tor for it has practically Elly all been appropriated by private individuals who are willing to sell to the city get the lowest price possible but buy at once if the price seems high it will seem higher when the owners get a notion that thy ought to tack on a little more delay dclay is fatal in such cases as this and the years of experience already passed thru should serve as a warning |
