SIX MAnERS OF
TO ABILENE
CITY COMMISSIONER DALLAS!
SCARBOROUGH CALLS AT-
TENTION TO MAT-TERS
WHICH ALL
SIDER.
SHOULD CON-
Diiring 4ho nest two years AbUen
rlioukl build tbc following entorlBes:
First. Elm creek water site should
bo built and water furnished to our
people for domestic purposes free.
Hecond. The city should take over
mid properly extend the sower sys-
tem. Third. The greatest caro should be
B'von to the conditions of our public
schools.
Fourth. The city should so con
ntnict its pipe tine if feasible) from
tho Elm cicolt dam so as to develop
power to generate olcctrtGity.
Fifth. The city should linvo n city
hall and atop paying rent.
Sixth. The stockholders of the.
street ra'lway company will give the
city their stock and if the city could
get the bonds at their pro-nnt market
value (about 40c on the dollar) if w
ran develop our own power the city
should own and operate the street
railway
Free Wnlcr For Domestic Tie.
Tho city should permit every cltl-
scn to havo all necessary water for a
surface of two lots and tes'denco with-
out any charge. All larger places
should be rotiulrcd to pay a small flat
rate per lot payable annuall in ad-
vance at tho City Secretary's office
r.robably Sfi.on per lot per anr.um. All
huild.nKH that pay no taxes such as
the Federal building court house etc.
should pay n reasonable flat rato per
annum. All commercial users should
at their own expense install motors
nnd pay a reasonable rate. Wc should
ttell vast nuantittea of water outside
of tho city limits for Irrigation pur-
poses. In the course of a -very few
years the demand for Irrigation and
ci'mmorclal purposes should be suffl-
c out to pay tho Interest nnd .slpklng
.iirilin our project anil therefore
the o'tiam should and will fet water
for Domestic purposes ABSOLUTELY
FREE Cntll we can roallzo sufficient
revenue from wnter sales we should
Py tho Interest and sinking fund by
taxation.
The Sewer Stslem.
Private 'ndlvlilunls own and operate
sewers for prof t. No Individual should
be ovpiK tod to do more han this. Tho
illy can awn and operate a sewer
cheaper than nu Individual because
tin city can get a Bmuller rato of In-
tret and baa no taxes to pay. The'
greatest and motst Important factor Is
Hint tho city should own and operate
sower fnm primarily n standpoint
f fwnUntlon. From I'oach street and
Ornpo street west including both the
colleges tho present sewer system
.annul accommodate. It is therefore
u'-OTsary for the city to either buy
out the present system and properly
oAiond it nnd develop an ent'rely so-
parole system west Qf Peach and
drape streets or put in one big sys-
tem all over the city paralleling the
present concern. Th city should how.
-ovor. deal justly with tho present con-
cern and if it will boU on a reasona-
ble basis nnd its system is at all ade-
quato. and U) be made so. u fairness
to th present company the city should
take over Its plant. This should bo
di-ne Immediately.
Public Schools.
The salvation of a democracy Is in
the Intelligence and patriotism of her
rtJaenship. Our system of public
schools is the avenue through which
knowledge iB disbursed and a better
citizenship developed. No government
can b greater than its people espe-
cially la this true of a democracy. We
cannot be too careful In providing
comfortable and sanitary conditions
for our youth and In seeing that they
receive the proper instructions.
Our bun Ltehts.
If it is proeCcal to generate electri
city from our pipe line tma suoum un
done. If the water power is nui tsun.
dent it can. be sup'plemented by en-
gine power so as to save cost In the
production of electricity. If we can
produce a sufficient amount oi power
tmm the wator tLat would enable the
city" To TurSSh HgMs Its own Itghtt
and power lor street reuiwuj- -uall
eaat we should do so This is
a matter concerning which no dej'nite
information is at hand at this time
but If It Is practical and can be done
no time should be wasted m dtfug it.
City Hall.
The nltv should Immediately cof-
strwet a city halh providing ior a fire
station in the same build'ng. The ran-
tni that we are now paying would go
a king wy toward paying the interest
and sinking faud on a first city
ball The old fire statiun should be
a..V.i ami the T and P. Railway

city should ocqu're tho strH railway
Tor about $12000. With its own power
tho street railway would bo a success
to tho city. If tho city can acquire tho
street railway and operate it to an
ndvantngc it should be dope. This Is
a matter however depending upon
tho c'ty developing Its own power.
Tlieso BUggostlous are mado to the
citizenship as a wholo Jn order that
you will think about H nnd discuss It
to tho end that wc may adapt the most
feasible plan for the development of
tho city. One matter however should
be suggested and that Isj do not get
afra'd of bonds because no project ax-c-wpt

should be developed unless It will save
money to the citizenship as a whole.
Upon this basis and this basis alone
