ESTABLISHED 1873 MAY CALL GENERAL STRIKE THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE CITIZENS GIVE THEIR VIEWS ON WATER SITUATION; MOST FAVOR CITY OWNING OWN WATER PLANT: Symposium of Views of Many Business Men on the Situation) Presented by The Tribune.—Arbitration, Purchase and} Building of New Plant Are Discussed by Taxpayers Who Would Have to Help Pay Cost of Any Method Chosen to; Settle Present Situation | i | The city ought to move to a settlement of the water situ- ation, and the citizens and the city commission ought to approach the problem in a business-like manner without bias or prejudice, according to the opinions voiced by'many busi- | ness men of the city, asked for a statement of their opinion by | The Tribune. hans , Most of those interviewed want the city to acquire a: water plant, but differ to some extent upon the method. Some do not want to give an expression on the proper method until they know all of the facts. f ane SS ‘As many were interviewed as could ‘plant is in every way inadequate to be reached in a reasonable period. But a few asked for expression of their opinion declined to give it. A resume of views of many citizens fol- lows: Fruitless Litigation. J. G..Cowau—I feel that something should be done but what that some- thing is I cannot say because I. am not familiar with all the legal prob- lems involved, A great deal of money and time hasbeen wasted in litiga- tion, it appears, from lack of good judgment. The city ought to find what the exact legal situation is and let the people know.” B. E, Jones—The present water supply the fire, domestic, sprinking and other demands of the city or cap able of supplying water of proper quality, owing to the lack of a filtra- tion plant or other proper method of purification. , The greatest single need today of this city is a correction of this con- dition. The only real remedy is a city-owned water plant. I am not interested in any. move, legal or otherwise, which fails to lead to that end. I am in favor of buying’the present: plant if it’can be obtained at a fair.price to the tax- payer as well as the water company. If this cannot be done, I am in, favor | of the .city builditg an eitire new plant. The reason which caused me to come to this conclusion two years age are being strengthened constant- ly as time goes on. Bismarck has outgrown its present water supply system. John Feterson—I think we ought to have ao municipal plant, either buying the present plant of building one. It may not be the most eco- nomical method. but it gives more satisfaction to the, people. | Wants Meter Tester. E. G. Patterson—I am in favor of the city buying ‘the electric light plant and the waterworks at actuat value. I am also in favor under the present system of having a public meter tester as everybody knows that the older a clock or a watch gets the faster it runs, and that is true of an electric light meter but not so with a water works meter as the dampness and corrosion causes the | water meters to run slow in some in- stances. “If a new plant is built, promoters such as engineer’s architects etc., wil] get from five to six percent bon- ‘us on the contract price. Also we 5% to engineers on the pavement and I am not in favor of paying another 5% to dig it up.” J, F. French—I ba: eve if the water company has a contract with the city they ought to live up to it, and if they won’t live up to it they ought | to’be willing to sell the plant to the! city at a reasonable price. This ought to be determined by unbiased engincers, W. J. Jones—Personally, I'd like to; sec the city own its own plant, buy the old if it can be bought right, by negotiation, not arbitration; and it not, to put in a new plant. Favors Arbitration. R, D. Hoskine—I think the matter | should be put before the people ofj the city on direct questions, to-wit: | 1. Do you desire us to proceed by ar- bitration as provided by charter. 2. Shall we offer the water company (a certain sum, named), for its plant. 3. Shall we build a new plant irrespec- tive of the present plant. Personally I am ta favor of arbitra-| tion on the theory that the city would name its man, the company its; man and, as I understand, the water ; company is willing to let any United States district judge name a third man, This judge probably would be Judge Sanborn, and if the people can- not trust Judge Sanborn I donot know who we could trust. E. W. Washee—I think the city ought to put in a waterworks, unless it can buy the present plant at the right price. S, E. Bergeson-I believe ought to be taken to put in a new! plant after we have been drinking | slop instead of water for as long as} we ought to, | F. S. Henry—I believe we ought to purchase the present plant. City Too Ragged. “I am of the opinion that the ‘city should either purchase the present steps water plant or put in a plant,” said E. V. Lahr, of the First Guaranty bank. “Now is the time to act. The city looks ragged, and we need cheap- er water in order to change this condition.” (Continued on Page 3) ( ROTARIANS T0 G0 TO ISABEL resonate with the standing electro- Bismarck, Jamestown, Valley City, and Mandan Clubs + Plan Outing at Lake About 225 Rotarians and their fam- ilies from Jamestown, Bismiarck, Val. ley City andgMandan will attend the Rotary pienie at Lake Isabel.
