Sewerage wells are cess pools of disease breeding germs which are fast saturating our soil, and soil sewerage is even worse. Medical authorities agree that no town with water works is long safe without a drain ige system for sewerage. Where many people live together, no sanitation is possible without sewerage. We all know these facts now in a general way. As typhoid and other fevers and sickness increase, doctor’s bills grow, good health in the child’s face fades away and the little life goes out through our fault, this knowledge of conditions will come home to us with cruel accusation. Unsanitary conditions kill more men and women and children than all the wars of all the ages. We owe it to our chil¬ dren to provide sanitary conditions for their upbringing, and if we put it off much longer, "it will be too late to prevent disastrous re¬ sults. we have tempted Providence too long already. For this most pressing need, involving the life and health of all, we should go the limit of bond issues and taxation if necessary, and put in a proper sewerage system, and let outsiders know it, for they already know our unsanitary conditions. So uigent is this need and so well recognized, that next week the whole state votes on a Constitutional amendment permitting counties to levy special ad¬ ditional taxes for sanitary purposes. Good health is getting it’s rightful place, next to religion, for verily, cleanliness ic next to , Godliness. Our next most pressing need is additional water supply- The artesian well seems a failure. Factories can’t get along with pres¬ ent water facilites. Population is increasing and the water supply decreasing and water becoming poorer in quality. It seems we must move our water works plant, placing upon our people an ad¬ ditional burden*of taxation of many thousands of dollars, but some relief should by all means be had before another summer. Then, Oh, how we do need a school house. Towns half our size have school buildings beside which our is a shanty. No need to discuss this questi(«- Go look at their buildings, then look at ours. Go inside ours and see the cheap crowded conditions, and the great need of additional teachers wham the town in its poverty is unable to employ. After wo get the sewerage and after we get mure and better waler, after we get a good school house aad alter we get the many dark streets in town lighted—then let’s get together and discuss whether it would be well to add sti 1 more burdens <>f taxation and tax everybody in town so as to give the few who want it. the luxury of a model telephone, provided this can be furnished by municipal telephone ownership, something that has never been tried in the United States. In other words it would seem good sound business sense buy the necessities first, and and after that, the luxuries. ■K- * Tax Payer. •tr&rv. ramn.’ When You to the Fait 4D Don’s fail to visit our store and inspect our magnificent stock of FURNITURE, CARPETS.
