BONDS FOR SEWERAGE AT LAST--A
TRIUMPH.
The election held last Saturday on the question of bonds for sew
erage and other improvements resulted in a vote of 290 for bonds and of
10 against bonds.
This result we consider a distinct triumph for the city.
For years past sewerage has been a growing necessity until it finally
looked like the city had just about as well pull down its signs and go out
of business as to attempt further to do without this greatest of modern
utilities.
Nothing could have been more broad and unselfish than the man
ner of procedure of our City Commissioners to bring about this bond issue.
They first invited citizens to make suggestions as to the best kinds
of bonds to issue and the best methods of bringing on the election and
carrying it through, reserving nothing for themselves in the ordering but
conceding everything to their advisers, even changing plans and designs at
first formulated to others that might fit a wider range of opinion, until it
was believed all but the most ultra of the opponents were satisfied and real
ly desired the bond issue should go through and the improvements con
templated should be secured.
The result more than proves the wisdom of the conservatism exer
cised by our officials. Ten opposing votes is a mighty little showing in a
contest where something like 400 votes were possible.
And yet those who opposed bonds have as much right to their opin
ion as those who favored them and should not be censured as they doubt
less felt their position and opinions conformed to an idea of material ben
efits and progress just as much as the others with different views.
Sewerage will be of vast benefit to the city and we don’t yet begin
to realize the extent of such benefits.
And yet if we went much longer without sewerage, we might find
ourselves encompassed with evils we haven’t heretofore dreamed of.
Though it was not blazoned by the people or the press fever has
been already making its appearance in the city. There were nine cases
reported a little over a week ago in one locality. This may not be typhoid
but it is a type of fever almost as bad—a kina of typho-malarial, that gives
patients prid physicians trouble enough and it indicates that fever can get
a hold here and the worst types are likely if timely action in preventing
such is not taken.
A great improvement contemplated as a prouct of the bond issue
will be street paving, it being planned to pave with some modern substan
tial certain of our principal streets. Nothing adds more to the looks of a
town than well paved side walks and streets, ft gives a stranger a fine im
pression of the town besides the utility it affords in making comfortable
and pleasing all rhe vehicle travel over our thoroughfare.
The contemplated improvements to school buildings and grounds
and the improvements on our water system are well recognized needs.
