WATER WORKS.
The Proposed Appropriation Considered.
Mr. Editor: I am emphatically a Water
Works man. I favor them upon the score
of health, comfort and safety, and my
great desire to have them alone induces
me to suggest severjjl insuperable objec¬
tions to tho action of counsel now before
the people for their approval or rejection.
I am anxious to avoid any difficulty which
can possibly defeat the WILL OF THE PEO
PLE. Our worthy Mayor may well say
that he is anxious to be one of the ad¬
ministration which inaugurates a work
which will redound to his credit and be a
monument to his children. In reading
your local’s report in your issue of the
28th ult., of his honor’s “ calm, sensible
and convincing arguments, for which he
has a reputation, ” in support of the bill,
I wondered that so old an official, associa¬
ted with other veterans in the public ser¬
vice, should have failed to see the defects
in the measure they were so interested in.
It is not merely desirable, but absolutely
necessary, that all acts of deliberative
bodies, involving the issuance of bonds,
should be beyond any question, or else the
bonds go before capitalists with a “taint”
which offers good pleading against them,
and depreciates their value always.
CITY ORDINANCES.
On page 79 of the City Law's, section 84,
of an Act assented to Dec. 28th, 1853, is
found the following: “ It shall not be law¬
ful to issue bonds, use the credit of the
City, or its funds,” beyond the sum of
“ $10,000 for the purpose of being expend¬
ed or otherwise applied beyond the corpo¬
rate limits of said City, or in aid of any
Railroad Company, or any other project
foreign to the ordinary purposes of the
government of said City, without first
passing a resolution to such effect.” The
Act submitted to the people is not a reso¬
lution, but an ordinance. Some friend of
the measure, with more zeal than judg¬
ment, may take ground that it is “all the
same.” But it cannot be; the Act says
resolution ; and that a difference exists
between a resolution and an ordinance is
shown in the fact that, under the rules of
Council, the former comes up on its pass¬
age when introduced, while the latter lies
over without discussion, and can only be
passed at its second reading. It is a fact
that at the meeting which completed the
Water-works Ordinance, the requisite vote
of seven could not have been secured for
the measure, and had it come up as a res¬
olution upon its passage it would have
been lost. Some fractions taxpayer might
suggest the adoption of the form of an or¬
dinance instead of a resolution as good
grounds for an injunction, and the plead¬
ings of the capitalist would come in and
wax strong indeed, when informed that the
bill, whether one thing or the other, had
not passed “two successive meetings,” by
a majority of the whole Board.
Personally, I dissent from the necessity
of such action; but to show that grave
doubts, (sufficient for capitalists,) must
exist, I will review a chapter in the history
of city appropriations.
In June of 1870, an almost unani¬
mous petition of the prominent tax payers
of the city called upon the Council to sub¬
scribe to the stock of the Columbus, La
Grange and North Georgia R.R. On 0th
June the Council, by a vote of seven to
two, passed the appropriation by resolu¬
tion, and directed Mayor Mcllhenny to
issue his proclamation to the voters of the
City for an election for their ratification
or rejection on the 9th of July following.
No attempt was made to suspend the rules,
as the friends of the measure, under the
advice of Peabody & Brannon, city attor
nf ^- held thflt a11 ste P s n <* e W to re “;
der its action legal had been taken. If
Mayor Mcllhenny could doubt the legality
of this action ’ P a8sed b y the same ™, te
and 3" st as often as 1116 Water Works
bill > wi!i not the capitalists and the dis
contented tax-payers pick all the flaws
their interests may require? So strong
was bls P° sltl0n a S alIlst the legality of the
bill, that he arrayed himself in opposition
to a majority of the board of aldermen,
the city attorney, and the most influential
Petition ever offered to Council. On June
12th, in reply to severe strictures, he ad
dressed a letter of a column to your local
ec j itor _ i n w hich he took the ground that
^ re g o]ution under the act of 1837, ap
proved Dee. 25, (which the Mayor claimed
was superceded by the Act of 1838) should
t, e p asse d at two successive meetings by a
ma ; or jty 0 f the whole board to become
legal. He said that otherwise it “would
have been an assumption of authority, and
would have had no force or effect in law.”
Avoid the “taint,” fellow citizens, if you
- , „ ,
esire se > our 011
don’t build monuments
to Aldermen and their children at the sac
rifice of the City’s interest. Mayor Moll
henny, in the letter referred to above,
said: “ During my service in the Council,
I have never known or heard of any meas
ure involving the expenditure of any sum
OV er $300 being carried out until the
a ; )OVe p i a i n provisions were first complied
with.” The provisions are as plain to-day
^ r were then, and Monte Moore’s re
cord shows but one vote upon the passage
of the bill.
Another trouble exists, which renders
^ ntterly inoperative . gee. 1
reads- “’The management of the Col um

COLUMBUS GA., SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1873.
bill upon which the people are asked to
vote.
Another point which is full of objec¬
tions is the limit of 80 cents placed upon
the bonds. How easy to put on in price
of work to meet enhancement of value of
bonds! I believe in selecting good men,
and relying upon their discretion and hon¬
esty to do the best they can; but if a limit
is necessary, require the negotiation and
money in band before the work eommen
ces.
THE $.10,000 FLOATING DEBT.
At a meeting of Council, July 4th, 1871,
the Finance Committee were authorized
to issue $10,000 in bonds to fund the
floating debt of the City. John King had
arranged to place the lot at 73,but Council
limited their sales to 75 c. After months
of onerous interest, another Council came
in and the bonds were sold, not at 7fl or
73 either, but at the best the market
would afford, which was sensible, but not
the law.
I merely cite this instance that voters
may not rely too much upon the 80 cents
limit provided by very clever reliable men,
bnt whose authority expires with their re¬
tirement from office; whose limit may be
stamped out or modified by other Coun¬
cils.
THE COST OF WATER WORKS.
Last but not least comes the cost. Vo¬
ters will no doubt object to any experi¬
ments with piping on the pipe-stem order,
Accepting iron, then, as the basis for our
calculations, we are shown by Mr. Bass’s
survey that a two million gallon reservoir
can be built, and a twelve inch pipe laid
to the “northern line of the City at a cost
of $100,435.” This calculation was doubt¬
less made without regard to rock excava¬
tion, or the expense of crossing Woolfolk’s
branch with the main pipe, or the cost of
right of way. A twelve inch pipe must
prove inadequate, as the friction in a dis¬
tance of over four miles, with the fall
stated, will reduce the supply greatly.
But waiving all these objections, and ad¬
mit a reduction of 25 per cent, by the
panic, and no depreciation of the bonds
from the same cause, and it will require
$75,000 cash, (a fair valuation of the en¬
tire appropriation in good times,) to do
what? Bring water to the “northern line”
of the City.
Don’t believe the too pert assertion that
“now or never” must decide the fate of
Water Works. As good men will repre¬
sent the interest of Columbus in the fu¬
ture as ever graced the Council Chamber
in the past. An election is even now at
hand. Aldermen can be selected whose
discretion, conservatism and honesty will
entitle them to the same respect enjoyed
by the present Board. Let them decide
W'hat the City requires; let it be known
exactly; then elect Commissioners. The
people are very much interested on this
point. Let this Board state what is want¬
ed, and advertise for bids to do the work.
When a satisfactory bid, sufficiently gua¬
ranteed as to its performance, is secured,
and the cost is within the ability of the
City to pay, then the voters can vote intel¬
ligently, not before.
Who is afraid of competition? Speak
out and say w>hy. Don’t ask Columbus to
incur an indebtedness of $100,000 to bring
water to the ‘ ‘northern line” of tire City,
and then have a deficiency appropriation
of one or two hundred thousand more to
carry it on to the Bankin House.
CONCLUDING WORDS OF CAUTION.
It will hardly suffice to reply “I believe
from my study of Water Works that it can
be done for less;” or, “ I would be willing
to guarantee,” <fce. Let responsible per¬
sons have a chance to say, in black and
white, what they will do, and then we will
know what to expect.
Now these are my ideas, and for all my
most excellent advice I do not charge one
cent; consequently, I shall regard any one
as very unreasonable who objects to so
good a thing at so cheap a rate.

jj rlnk Well Water and Vote AgalnBt the
Appropriation of $100,000 next Satur
day.
Next Saturday being the day appointed
to vote upon the question of appropration
of $100,000 of the city s bonds for the
purpose of bringing water to the Northern
limits of Columbus, I would suggest to
all who desire to see this measure defea.
ted, to go to the polls and vote against
the appropriation.
The Mayor’s proclamation calls upon
“the citizens of Columbus to assemble at
the Court House.” Does this mean an
election, at which every one who lives in
the corporate limits can vote, or only those
who are registered ? I think it means the
first named. If so, how easy to carry
this measure unless citizens opposed to
the measure turn out in full strength.
Factories on half-time, people scarcely
a y e to buy provisions and fuel for them
Be i ve s and families, and many unable to
pay the municipal tax of two per cent, on
their property, bonds of all descriptions
selling very low, this does not look as if
it were the time to saddle $100,000 more
of debt upon the citizens, particularly
when the measure was so rapidly rushed
through the present Council. Drink well
water until after the panic, and vote
against appropriation. H.

SAVANNAH LETTER.
Extremely Cold Weather—rFew Visitors at
the Fair—Imposing Catholic Demon¬
strations — Wo rk on the Netv Cathedral
Inaugurated — Capt. Roberts and C}ie
wacla lime Interested—Hotels Filling
Up—Gala Week in Savannah.
Pualski House, Nov. 20, 1873.
Editors Sun: It would have been dif
ficult to select a more disagreeable week
than this has been for holding the Savan¬
nah Fair. The weather has been extreme¬
ly cold and blustering up to this time,
and nothing but necessity or an unboun¬
ded curiosity has proved sufficiently pow¬
erful to draw people out of doors, espe¬
cially the ladies; and a Fair without ladies
is robbed of its chiefest and fair-e st at¬
traction. Hence the Savannah Fair has
thus far proved a very dull and unattrac¬
tive place. On yesterday afternoon, when
hundreds of beantiful ladies were expect¬
ed to grace the occasion of the Hussar’s
sabre tournament, there were hardly a
hundred persons of both sex on the
gronnds, although the attendance was
larger than it had been on any previous
day.
The tournament was appointed at an
inopportune hour, as the laying of the
corner stone of the new Roman Catholic
Cathedral took place at the same time,
and attracted an immense concourse of
people—probably as many as six thousand
beiDg present at the commencement of
the services. The procession was one of
the most imposing ever witnessed in this
city, and the various organizations com¬
posing it were highly complimented for
their fine appearance and good conduct.
Father Rafferty was the only representa¬
tive that we had from your J city, but Ma
prominently , ... her
con was conspicuous in
excellent delegation of about fifty Hiber
nians with a splendid banner, who added
much to the imposing character of the
procession. The services of laying the
corner stone were very solemn
tive, and were listened to with great pa
tience, despite the intense coldness of the
weather. We were especially pleased with
the eloquent address of Bishop Gibbons,
although it was thoroughly Roman Catho¬
lic. He is a fine speaker, possessing a
vigorous, cultivated mind, aud many of
his utterances were sublimely beautiful.
It may not be amiss to refer to a grati¬
fying fact connected with the construo
tion of this magnificent Cathedral. Capt.
Joseph A. Roberts, formerly of Columbus,
has the contract to supply all the lime and
cement required in the erection of the
walls, and he has already furnished for
that purpose large quantities of the cele¬
brated Chewacla lime, from the Yonges- ,
boro quarries, which now has the control
of the Savannah market, having been
found a most reliable and desirable arti
cle for buildiug purposes. Much of this
success, however, is due to the energy
and business tact of Capt. Roberts, who !
is fully alive to the necessity for prompt
action and untiring fidelity in all com- j
mercial transactions. Although we have
always found him busy, he has never yet
failed to render us any service that we
desired at his hands, for which our best
thanks are due him.
This popular hotel, during the past week,
has been the stopping place of quite s
attendance upon the sessions of the United
Stutes Courts. Wo We think think thsufi these trihunalM tribunals,
and the laying of the corner stone of the
Cathedral have drawn a great many more
people to the city than the Fair has attrae- j
ted. All the hotels present a very lively
appearance to-day, and it is probable that
many of the Catholic delegates will visit
the Fair Grounds this afternoon, at which
time the running races take place.
Notwithstanding the hard times and
scarcity of money, this has been a great j 1
week for amusements in Savannah. Balls
and parties have occurred nearly every !
night, the Great Eastern Circus has per¬
formed to the largest crowds we ever saw
uuder a canvass, while the Little Eldridge
Troupe, under the management of Messrs.
Barker and Spalding, has played to fine
audiences at the theatre. This splendid
company will be in your city in a few
weeks, and we commend it to the liberal
patronage of your theatre-going commu¬
nity. Harry Pearson and Belville Ryan,
old favorites, are with this troupe, which
is securing very excellent notices from the
press here. Sidney Herbert.
