*¥) BEE: OMAHA, TT'ENI).\Y. )I.\\' 4, 1909 WATER BONDS Why They Should Carry TO THE PEOPLE OF OMAHA: Many questions are being asked in regard to the prop- osition to vote $6,500,000 of water bonds of the city. We deem it proper that the public should know the rea- sons why we urge the people of Omaha to vote for the water bonds. NUMBER 1— We believe municipal ownership to be the best solution of the situation; that it will result in better water service, more prompt extension of.water mains, and in reduction of water rates without increasing taxes. There can be no muni- cipal ownership without voting bonds. NUMBER 2— We believe the plant will sustain itself—paying in- terest on bonds, cost of operation, and create a sinking fund t pay off the bonds, without additional taxes. In other words, we believe we will be buying a revenue producing property which will carry itself. NUMBER 3— We cannot and will not use the $3,000,000 of bonds heretofore voted. NUMBER 4— It is important that the bonds be voted now that the water board may be in position to make immediate com- promise of the litigation, if this is possible. NUMBER 5— If immediate compromise cannot be made, it is equally important that the bonds be voted, that the water board be in position to pay the amount found due by the United States NUMBER 6— We do not intend to, nor will we pay the amount of the award [$6,263,000], unless compelled to do so by the decree of the supreme court, where the matter is now pending. NUMBER 7— We will not compromise unless upon a substantial re- duction of the amount as found by the award. We will try to compromise the matter immediately if the bonds are voted. NUMBER 8— We are not in position to make any compromise until the issue of bonds shall be authorized by vote of the peo- ple. In previous attempts to compromise, we have been met with the statement that we were in no shape to carry out our proposition until bonds were voted. NUMBER 9— We do not believe in granting a franchise to the water company, nor to any Omaha syndicate. If it is a good pro- position for a syndicate to take hold of, it is a better thing for the city to handle for its own people. NUMBER 10— If the bonds are voted, they will not be issued, nor will they bear interest, until the water works are acquired by the city. NUMBER 11— ; No more of said bonds will in any case be issued than are actually necessary for the acquisition of the plant. NUMBER 12— Should the decision of the supreme court be against the city, a decree will be entered which must be paid. The supreme courlt. and prekcnt the diplomas. Rev. W.

A fine of 85 and costs was his reward He lives at 1406 Jones street, and the scene clty cannot avoid the payment of such judgment by refus. ing to vote bonds. The judgment would be enforced by & levy of taxes on the property of the citizens, If the bonds are voted the judgment can be paid by the proceeds of the bonds, and the interest and expense of running the water works will be paid out of the revenues derived from the sale of water, without additional taxes on the property of the city. NUMBER 13— It must be remembered that the valuation, $6,263,000, includes the whole plant of the water company in the city of Omaha, South Omaha, Florence and Dundee, and not merely the portion pertaining to the city of Omaha. The bonds for $3,000,000 heretofore voted concerned alone the portion of the plant in the city of Omaha and the pumping station at Florence. NUMBER 14— The voting of these bonds will defeat the effort of the Omaha Water Company and the Omaha syndicate to se- cure a franchise, and will secure municipal ownership for the people at the earliest date possible. These are a few of the reasons why we unanimously urge the voting of these bonds. We have given the matter our best consideration, and believe good business judgment dictates the approval of the bonds. THE OMAHA WATER BOARD. MILTON T. BARLOW, ISAAC E. CONGDON, A. H. HIPPLE, R. B.
