An election in noon to he held in a
this city for the purpose of decid 1 pared with the editorials ot that
ing whether the City Council shall journal today,
be authorized to issue bond* to the | u in ~, 1(1 ^ orlIl f' utv
amount ol $25,000 lor the purpose |j nn paptis that near Plymouth,in
of erecting water works. The voteis the northeastern purl of the slate,
in mnkim: up their minds as to how trees which boar c
they will east their ballots, should
not lose sight of the advantages
From tlic cut above you will see that we are somewhat in
haste, not alone to tell the readers of the Recorder of the Great
llargninswhich are coming in daily, but for the shortness of
time we have to make out this advertisement, and then we had
to run like this
that would accrue from such works,
which may lie briefly enumerated
as follows:
First. It would he such an effi
cient protection against extensive
loss by Are, that this alone would
pay tor their erection, to say noth
ing of th • saving in insurance by the
lower rates that would prevail. In
the case of (ire there woidd lie no
waiting for steamers to flic up, but
the hose could he instantly attach
to the plugs and as many streams
of water thrown as is necessary.
There would lie no danger of the
failure of cisterns, as all the water
- would lie available at any one point
There would lie little, if any, usr
for the steamers, and one of them,
at least, could be disposi .1 of, which
would effect a considerable saving.
Second. The water tax paid by
consumers, although small, would
he sufficient to pay the interest on
the bonds. It would ensure plenty
of good water throughout a large
portion of the city, and year by
year the pipes could lie extended
until every portion of the city was
supplied. Ky these works our
business streets could he sprinkled
and our merchants saved many
dollars from damage by dust.
Third. The spirit of enterprise
thus shown by our people would
serve to attract people here, in.
crease our population and taxable
wealth to such an extent that the
increase in revenue from taxation
would soon meet the extra expense
incurred by erecting these works.
As nn abundant supply of water is
a necessity in all manufactories,-
our city could offer such nn induce
ment as would attract enterprises
of that character. The city could,
if, necessary, offer to new maun fac
tories a sufficient supply of water
for a certain number of years free
of charge, to iuducc them to locate
in our city.
Fourth. As the bonds are made
payable during a term of twenty
years, only those will pay for the
works who are benciilted. Wo arc
not taxed this year to pay for tlic
benclit that will accrue toothers in
other years.
These are toe advantages. The
only disadvantages are those arts-
ing from the payment of the tax.
It has been urged by aouie that
a private company would under
take the work and the city would
thus avoid the necessity of issufug
the bonds. Hut it must be remem
bered that the city would have to
pay this company for the use of all
wuter for public purposes, and the
coat would go far toward paying
the interest on the bonds, besides,
our citizens would have to pay a
water tax to this company the saun
as they would the city, wilh the
disadvantage that this lax would
go into the compauy’s pocket, while
otherwise it would go into the city
treasury.
There aie,of course, other points,
but these will be brought out in
the consideration of those given
above, and our aim at this time is
only to set our people thinking over
the matter, so that they may a ole
intelligently when the time comes

of goods, cfm often find with us s|«*cial lots which we are

witli marked benefit to my patients.
There can be no better proof as

I remain respectfully yours,
