Shall Camilla Own Waterworks]
and Electric Lights.
This is the question that will
agitate the minds of the citizens
of Camilla for the next thirty
days from the fact that an elec¬
tion has been ordered by the
mayor and council to be held in
October calling for an issue of
bonds to the amount of $20,000,
which, if carried b.y the requisite
vote of the tax payers, will be
used as follows:
$2,000 to retire the outstand¬
ing bonds against the school
building.
$7,000 for the purchase of ac¬
quirement of the system of elec¬
tric lights that are now in opera¬
tion and owned by the Mitchell
County Fertilizer Company, so
that they may become municipal
property.
$11,000 to be used in establish
ing a system of water-works,
whereby the town may have ad¬
equate and efficient protection
against probable losses by fire
and also to provide in a measure
some sanitary protection to the
health of the town.
The first proposition is one
that Camilla has got to meet
whether we vote bonds or not,
for it is already a debt the town
owes, but the benefit to be de¬
rived in this item is that the
town will have thirty years more
within which to meet it.
The second proposition is one
from which Camilla can hope to
derive great benefit in the future,
becacause it is now almost or
quite self-sustaining under the
management of its present own¬
ers and should not only continue
so under municipal control, but
should in a few years be a very
profitable investment for the
city, by virtue of its growth in
furnishing lights to private citi
zens and corporations sufficient
to pay running expenses and
thus secure to the city her street
lights, which now cost$68.75 per
month, nominally free to the tax
payers. The electric light fran¬
chise for the next thirty years
will be worth a great deal to the
town and in the opinion ol the
Enterprise will pay for itself
many times over, to say nothing
of its being an aid at the -very
start in helping to sustain the
third proposition, or water¬
works, which is the only real
venture the town will enter upon.
Tne water-works question is
one that every- live town has to
meet sooner or later, and no town
nowdays is considered up to
date, or an inviting field for in
vestments that is not provided
with plenty of good water for
home uses, sanitary purposes
and fire protection.
The 811,000 to be expended for
water-works will not be sufficient
to provide all three of these at
the start, but it will provide wa¬
ter for fire protection and home
use for all who may desire it, and
in the matter of protection
against fire, the savings in insur¬
ance rates to property owners
will very nearly pay the interest
on the bonds, to say nothing of
the conveniences and comforts
that will be in the reach of every
citizen who may desire them.
Every citizen of Camilla who
has lived here many years knows
something of the benefits that
have been derived from the in¬
vestments made in the artesian
wells which furnish drinking wa¬
ter to the greater portion of the
people of the town, and if you
want information as to whether
or notit will be a good invest¬
ment, see Mr. J. B. Palmer or
Mr. G. C. Cochran, who have ex¬
perimented by putting in a sys¬
tem of water-works on their farms
at a cost of several hundred dol¬
lars each, and they will tell you
at once that they would not be
without them for three times
their cost.
It may appear to work a hard¬
ship upon the property owners
of the town for the first two or
three years, but after that it will
be easy sailing and you will not,
in the opinion of the Enter¬
prise, regret the sacrifices you
will seemingly make in procur*
ing water works for your town.
Think over the matter and see
whether or not you want your
town to go forward or stand still,
while your neighbors pass you
by in the race of progress.
