alio majority report on the bothwell proposition As the readers of will doubtless remember sir turner expressed himself in the council in a few but clear words in favor of the proposition lie adheres to this view and says further that the city is secure from any imposition in answer to a bomber of queries he gave about tho following follo winn reasons for being in favor of the position made by the oin ganv in alie crat place when ahia proposition was on the council abero vaa but little water the water master said eliat alio which he dug up were rotten and that a new system was necessary before loni wo did not alien know that BO much of alie water which we had a right to was running to waste or being used bv parties w ho had no right to it now that the was leage has been remedied the lack of water is not felt as badly as it was and we have comparatively plenty yet I 1 am in favor of the rothwell poth well proposition because it ears to ha fair and business like wo need water and we need gewere we can not get the latter only uy getting the first alie majority report simply recommended the acceptance of the proposition in order that a contract suitable to both parties might be drawn up this contract has been drawn and is being considered now it would not seem that a company would go to work at such an expense as alio botha ell company has already entailed unless they knew what aliey could do to their office where all the maps and profiles can be seen would at once convince any one versed in those matters of the amount of work already done they have hired the roost skilled engineers in the country to look the ground and that the work can be done and at aliat cost this is not done on wild goose chase the city at all events is secure from any loss the contract stipulates that no money is to be paid until the work is completed and then not until the city is disposed to buy it we are to buy the plant at the original cost when we are able to and then to pay in three installments one macli year until the sum is paid beginning with the year in which we make the purchase in alie meantime mr bothwell is to give to the city a bond of for the faithful performance of alie contract we are to have that bond and nothing to pay until we can buy alie plant alie price of alie plant is also to be fixed by the rental of alie system at the time of purchase they promise that in the period of six years the rental will be lowered to about sixty per cent of what it is now and if such is the case it will not be such a great price to pay when we wish to secure alie plant for alie city again I 1 hold that wo should not pay for thia vast system alinn and let choso aho vho come after us profit by it without any cost whatever for that reason the contract i good as by extending it for say ten years it may be eliat time before we dare to venture on a purchase of the system the population will have so greatly increased that it will not work a liall ship on tho people as it would at alio present time it would bo much easier tor a population of to buy it than it would for the present population the conduit in ogden river is going to cost a great deal that conduit we cannot buy but alie contract says that it is to be used by alie city for all time to come we have a certain amount of water in the river we have not disposed of it nor could we if we wished we simply loan alie water to the company and when we purchase tho plant we do not have to buy any other water than that owned by the company and aliey are obliged to sell ua alt the water we wish to buy for the uee of the city from this you can see that there is no need of our buying alio ogden canyon conduit as should we buy all the water the contract provides for the use of the conduit for all time I 1 think the proposition fair in every respect though I 1 also think eliat some changes should bo made so as to make the document not only understood by a lawyer but by every citizen of the town and by all affected by its provisions the scheme has been talked of for the past ab or 18 years all that has been lacking is money and now a company comes and to provide the means and give us all he water we need alie talk about eliat bear river has no water or eliat bear lake can not be utilized for a reservoir is all nonsense the company has the finest reservoir in the world right there and the most and prominent engineers who have investigated alie matter for months declare that to be a fact what |
