Show POINTED) " QUESTION ON WATEiR WORKS Answered So That a Child Can Understand It Pingree and West Shown Up in Great Style Proof That These Fellows Do Not Know What They Are Talking About. If the waterworks can pay $25,000 o year from Its profits, to pay off the bonds, why not spend $2r,O0o a year and make the improvements In lour years? asks the wily Joo West and Smooth Job Pingree. Here Is the answer: Because all Improvements should bo made in one year, to bo of uny value for the flr.ut four year, for the following reasons: If we divide the work in four years It would require, for the first year, the building of a dam to increase in-crease tho water supply In Coldwater Coldwa-ter and Wheeler canyons, which would cost about $20,000. Second, wo could not use the Increased In-creased water unless we had a new plpo llnta down the canyon, which will cost about JtlO.OOo, and would take two years or more to build. This would bring the water to the reservoir, but It would not be used brrauso there is only one pipe line from tho icservoir to tho distributive distribu-tive system, which, though carrying Its. full capacity. Is wholly Inadequate Inade-quate for the present or future needs of Ogdcn City. And under the Plngree-Went plan, wo must wait for the fourth year to build the big pipe line from tho reservoir to the distributive system. Hence, it w ill be seen, that the i ity would get no Increased water supply under the Plngrce-Wett plan In less 111 an four years. If the bonds are voted, the Improvements Im-provements will be made In one year and the: people get tho waler begin-Elng begin-Elng the llrst year. Shall wo wait four years? j Taxpayers, you answer with your VOte. |
