- What is the matter that our tax
_payers are not getting value recciv—‘
*ed for the money they are paying.’
.We are not inclined to insinta‘e
?‘b”ad management, but we do, think
that there is a screw loose some
--tthm-e. Our people are entitled {o
both lights and water, the city has
_been bonded for the purpose of
“furnishing the supply and the con
sumers are paying the toil and only
- getting half rations. There s no
gexcuse for such astate of affaits,
“no lights and practically no water,
Suppose we have a fire and no’
_ protection, is it a supposable prop
‘osition that the Insurance Com
panies will stand for it, no, rates
- will go up and in many instanoes
the companies wil! withdraw. Arc
our citizens going to stand for this,
_one ot the most important depurt
"fi’len't of our government, we think
not. Why nct make a contract
contract with some responsible
party to furnish the reqaired a
mzuut of wood to . operate the
pl%ib and shways bhave sufficient
_ ahead, su that in bad weather there
- will be no passible chance of a shut
_ down, or easier still why not buy
- coal by the car load and put ina
. supply to last. The experience of
~ thoge wbo run such plants is that
~ steam coal at $4.50 per ton deliv
~ered ic e¢heaper than wood at $2.00
_per cord. Let the proper auihor,
ities get to-gether and satisfy the
i tax payers.
