Can't Escape Responsibility “One of the things we cannot get away from js individual responsi ity,” said Justice’ Johnson. “Thi one of the fundamental laws of life and of all human relatios. It is also one of the things most frequently overlooked or forgotten. We organ- ize ourselves into groups the church, congregations, clubs, and community groups, motto mention the political subdivisions culminating in the state, and it much easier to shift the responsibility for the conduct of affairs upon the group than it is to carry it ourselves. Yet, this is one of the things that cannot be done beeause, when we do it, we violate a law which, though not enforced by police officers or in police courts, is nevertheless executed rigorously and without exception by the very spirit that permeates all social or- ganizations:-this duty is individual and cannot be shifted. “In the first place, we become members of the contmunity where we Jive and: conduct our business activities. We are members of or- ganized society because social and governmental organization is neces- sury to protect men against the self- ishness and avarice, that unfortun- ately are a part of the human chara- eter. By living in a community, we necessarily assume obligations to- wards that community. The com- munity provides a living and from it we get most of the things and comforts that make life worth living . - We'owe the com- munity, in return, for these privil- eges and comforts, a portion of our time, of our talents, and of our funds, in ordpr to promote its gen- eral well being.. It should be our desire to make it a better place in which to live, a place of which we may be proud, and out. of which| will come: the best kind of citizens. Community pride does not mean van. ity; it means a real gesire to make the community whe! you live a place where men and women may come and live. and be better citizens for having been there; it means that the community in which you live has a spirit, a sdul, if you please, which 4 (Continued on Page 2) Potato bug destroys $25,000,000 “worth of potatoes annually in the United States. , THE BIS BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1923 WHEN MOVIE FACES ARE MIXED Behold the features of seven of the silver screen's most beautiful women molded into one face. nose, Bebe Daniels’ mouth, Po’ sponsible for tie eyes, Nita Dalton, the dimples. Editors. Note:—Request hi been made by C. B, Little, Vice- President of the Bismarck Water Supply Co, to print a series of three articles upon the water works issue from the utility’s standpoint.’ This ar- ticle in no way should be con- strued as representing the view- point of The Trihune on the is- aue. The: position of this paper on the isspes involved have heen made very plain editorially from time to time. By C. B. Little, Vice-President Bismarck Water Sup- ply Company. The tity engineer has now esti- mated that the total cost of a new water plant based upon his plans and specifications would be $706,928 in- cluded inethis total is the sum of $40,083.54 for his engincering fees, supervision-and incidentals. It must be remembered that this last item must be added to the contractor's bids which may he received next Monday and as much more for engi- neering at the rate of 5 per cent ns the bids may exceed the city engi- neer’s estimate, In regard to his e timate there is quoted from the re- port made by the water company to, the Board of Directors of the Bi marck Association of Commerce when the matter of a plant was before them for consideration, “Based upon plans and specifica- tions made by him in the spring of 1920, Mr. Atkinson reports that a new plant embracing a filtration plant and about eight miles more mains than that owned by the water company, in other words, a complete plant may be constructed at the pres- ent time for $704,420. On March 12, 1920, the City Com- mission requested the city engineer to prepare plans and specifications | ang an estimate of cost for a\com- plete water works system including a filtration plant. The plans and spec- ifications were prepared and submit- ted by the City engineer to the Com- mission together with his estimate, which was as follows: Construction cost ....$747,903.00 Engineering and super- vision 5 per cent....

The Construction company of St. hid for the comptete plant $1,867,600, or more than 130 per cent higher than Mr, Atkinson's estimate, Sure~ ty bonds were furnished by the bid- der in the amount of $1,900,000. This was the only bid submitted for the complete plant but there were how- ever, several bids on different parts of the plant. When these bids were added together they approximated the total bid of the National Electric nstruction company. All of these bids were rejected as excessive upon recommendation ’ of Engineers Atkinson and Wolff, but the proof of the pudding is in the cating” and the bids were the best evidence of the probable cost at the time of Mr. Atkinson’s proposal.” | The only public excuse offered by the city engineer for so large a ead between his estimate and the is is the following quoted from his first article taken from his Bismarck Tribune series of articles. “No one niliar with the situation at the time bids were taken doubts’ but that a “frame up”. was made by the very few contractors present to place these bids ridiculously high.” , What posstble object could there have been for such an alleged “frame- We have little to offer on this sub- ject in addition to what was snid to the Board of Directors of the Asso- ciation of Commerce, except to say hat his estimate now has been re- uced $80,000 from that of two years | agd while pipe and other materials | the largest items entering into the were submitted National Electric Paul plant is as high or higher now than it was when bids were received two , years ago.

The city engineer in his fMoposed schedule of assessing ¢: to abut- ting property has figured \n the in- terest on special assessment warrants at 6 per cent, at least that is what he said to the directors of the, As- sociaton of Commerce in his report. What would be the effect if the war- rants could not be sold at an inter- est rate of 6 per cent? We are still justified in saying that the “proof of the pudding is in the eating” and that bids will be the best proof of the cost of such improvement. ‘that | bonds.
