The Ciiy of Ocriien will hol.l a special election on Tuesday, September Sep-tember 6tli. 1010, for llie purpose of authorizing the issuing of $100,l)0(.l in bonds. Hie same to be tied 1o build an additional conduit from Cold Wafer Canyon to (lie new reservoir, also to build a new conduit leading from the new reservoir to the distributive system, and also to build a small dam for lh- storage of water in Cold Water ; Canyon. The present conduit, running down Ogden Canyon, was built 20 years ago ami is too small for present needs. If water extension are to be made, more water must be secured at once. The following water main extensions are demanded by tho people. STATEMENT OF PETITIONS. For extensions of water mains; giving the location, and the nam of Ihe applicant; amounting to between five and six. miles of 6-inch mains. 32nd Street, between Wall and Pingree, by C. A. Stephens and others. 21st Street, Harrison to Ja'kson, by Pithian Fiehtz and others. Pacific Ave.. North from 2Sth Street, by Alex Baxter nnd others. 32nd Street, bet. (irant and Wash., by I). C.

Jefferson bet. 3.fh and 361 h, by J. "W. F. Volker and others. In addition to these petitions and requests for extensions of water mains, wc have had numerous verbal requests from different districts for extensions, and also for the replacing of the 2-inch mains by larger ones because ihe smaller mains do not, at the present pres-ent time, give the water consumers a sufficient supply with so many consumers on the small mains. This difficulty, however, cannot be overcome, even with larger mains, unless we increase the supply of water for the entire distributive system, as we are, at the present time. beond our capacity and cannot give an adequate supply lo the present water takers; consequent!', it would be useless to make any further extensions without the additional supply of water to be oh-tained.by oh-tained.by building a new conduit from Cold Water Canyon to our new reservoir and enntinring from the new reservoir down 22nd. or 23rd. street to Quincy Avenue, which will materially increase the water supply through the distributive system, and give all plenty of water. WATERWORKS WILL PAY THE BONDS. "While the city is asking the taxpayers consent to issue the bonds, the mayor and city council promise the people that the bonds can and will bo paid from the profits of the waterworks system in four annual installments nf $25,000 each year.. We. propose to issue the bonds, and no matter who are the successors of the present mayor and eity council, they will be compelled to pay the bonds at the' rate of $25,000 each year. The bouds will be for $1,000 each and 25 will be made payable in one year, 25 in two years, 25 in three years and 25 in four years. The water department will even pay the interest on the bonds Some people have nsked why Ihe city does not build the new conduit and run in debt for it by borrowing the money from tho banks, if we can pay back one-fourth each year. That is just the trouble. The law says the city must not run in debt beyond itj taxes for any year, except by permission of the taxpayers granted" at a speeial election. The banks will take the debt if it is authorized author-ized by the tnxpayers, If the taxpayers of Ogden refuse to authorize us to issue tin bonds, there is nothing left for the city to do, except lo abandon all contemplated extensions of the water mains and improvements. Under the law. the city council must furnish water for the people and it takes money to do that. Kilhcr the taxes will be increased or the taxpayers must grant ns permission to run in debt for foil r years by issuing bonds. It will not cost the taxpayers one cent 1o issue bonds, but it will increase the city taxes for two years over 50 per cent, if the money is raised by taxes. Vote "Yes" with no increase in taxes; Vote "No" and your taxes will be increased, or the improvements will not be made. We submit- this matter to the taxpayers of Ogden for their earnest consideration. Think, taxpayer, what plenty of water for Ogden city means. Think of nnr city's future. Grant our request and wc promise, to double your water supply by stnrting the work this fall anil making nil the improvements, nnd also water extensions abovo called for, having nil ready before the opening of next summer. There will be no carriages or automobiles to take you to ihn polls. The city has im money lo spend for that purpose. Each taxpayer tax-payer must furnish his own conveyance. Tin's question is up to thtt taxpayers. Tot I hem decide without interference from anybody. Respectfully submitted to the taxpayers of Ogden. ' GEO. W. WILSON, J. A. A US. CHRIS FLYGARE, H. E.
