The voter of this town caa always be re lied upon to take aa active interest in aa election, ao matter what macaer cf mea or principles are involved. Tbe mere fact of voting, of discharging the highest right aad privilege of free men. ia incentive enough to draw them to the polls. The election to be held next Saturday, for the purpose of de ciding whether or not the borough shall be bonded to establish a system of water works has probaUy crean J more disr-ossioa than say election ever held ia Somerset. This is proper, however, inasmuch as tbe question is one directly arTerting the inter ests of every property owner, sad ia the eoo- si deration of which the voter should care fully wetgh his own and bis town's interest before casting his ballot. Advocates on both sides continue to claim a majority, while cooserrative voters, who have refrained from expressing their sentiments agree that the majority is likely to be from Z to 00 either way. Come in," said the good-aatarsd shop keeper to our reporter one evening during the week. The water works question is ia full blast, and I think I can find a seat for yon oa as empty fish barrri." The invitation was sccepted, but the porter was too late to nave a voice ia the vote that had just been takea, aad which resulted ia IS to 2 against water works, but climbed into tbe seat designated, and follow ing are s few of the remarks he overheard aa they fell from tbe lips of the gentlemen surrounding the store stove. " For pure, unadulterated ignoranre," said the maa with the high tenor voice, " the sanitary improvement it is claimed water works will effect in the town, takes the cake. Look at the gutters aad dnias as tter are at present, aad think of the complaint that has been going up to the town council for years about their foul condition, and then stop to consider what their condition will be if all these people ap street have all the wa ter they caa use. A mere statement of facts ought to satisfy aay reasonable person tha: the health of tbe town will be ia far greater peril after the introduction of water than it is at present, unless sewers are put in at the same time water is. " I can't for the life of me enderstand,' said the boom town man, why certain par. ties in this Iowa are opposed to water works, and I have no respect for their opinions. They are so confounded miserly that they can't think of having their taxes increased aod are so ignorant that they cannot appreci ate the benefit water works woui 1 be to Som- eret. Tbe town authorities have expended a considerable sum of money ia having a survey of Kimlieriy run made, and estimates furnished as to the probable cost of tbe wa ter works, aad I think they should be sus tained by tbe voters of the borough, at the election next Saturday. If the question car ries, there will at least be aa effort made to introduce water into our town. That will be a great step forward, and will lift as out of the rut we have been ia for the last hua dred years. There caa be no o lost ion but that tbecitizsas of the town will vote for water, by a large majority. Tbe cracker-barrel man aervocsly exchang ed a great chew of "Climax " from one side of his mouth to the other, aad after the enthusiastic young speaker quoted above had found a eat oa top of aa applebutter keg. said : I hardly anppxee your remarks were intended lor me, because I own very little property, bat many of you fellows wbo are bellowing for water works own none at ail. Now, there are two aides to every ques tion, aad it isn't right that the motives of men wbo don't think as you do. should be impugned aad tbe characters of the men themselves be assailed by irresponsible par ties wbo own no property, and who have nothing at stake. It is the future property owners we have to look after, aod when it comes to aasumiag a deb! of $JT, , or more, they have s right to know how that money u to be expended, or whether it is to be squandered. This is a very grave question," pat ia the aiaa with a drawl, aad one thu I think many of our people have failed to properly consider. At least one-half of the people Lviag in Somerset doubt whether it is practi cable to get a supply from that swamp drained, black-water stream even though the water should prove to be Ct for domestic a sc. Now, it is reported that the town au thorities will not iarestigate aay other meth od of introducing water, aod tbe question that we taxpayers have to solve is, are we going to empower the tuwa authorities to expend a large sum of money in attempting 10 do something that will ia all probability prove a failure 7 It is indeed a very serious question, gentlemen, aad one that we should ail carefully consider before we vote for it." You are wroag-shipped, eatire'y, old fel low." said the freckle-nosed maa. The Kimberiy run scheme is the only one under consideration by the lowa authorities, sim ply because no others have been otTered, and until some one otfers them a better system than the Kimbetly ran one, why, of course, that's the one they 'll adopt.' " Wei!, I should like to know," screamed bow-legs, from the far end of the store, where be was admiring aa assortment of candy hearts the favortte Christmas present of hs boyhood whether the borough authori ties didn't expend !j to hare tbe Kimber iy run territory surveyed, and for having aa estimate made as to the probable cost of pip ing that muddy water into town? Do they expect every maa wbo chooses to ditTer with the engineer wbo made the survey, to offer something better, and at his own expense 7 Why, it is simply preposterous in them to insinuate such a thiing, if, indeed they have. Haven't they got the same authority to in quire into the feasibility of supplying the town with water from drilled wells pumped on to Tayman' hill which, by tbe way. many of the best men ia town think to be the ouly proper aad practicable way of ever securing a water supply that they had to employ an engineer lo make a survev of Kimberiy ran? The borough authorities have the power to investigate all measures in this regard that appear practicable, and it is hardly fair, as I look at it, ia them to ask tbe voters to authorize the hsueof bonds un til after they have examined every possible method of introducing water into town, and then have adopted the best and cheapest system. I have due respect for the opinions of tbe burgess and town council, and they should have tbe same eotusideraiioa for the opinions of those wbo ditTer from them. I'm Oppoted to every question until I know what tbe question is, aad that's the reasoa why I am opposed to voting for the issue of bor ough bonds for water ; no one knows where the water is to come from." " If tbe town daddies had the authority to employ aa engineer to survey Kimberiy run," said ragged whiskers, why haven't they got the authority to mike a caa v as of the town and ascertain how many persons will take water at a fixed price ? Way shan't we know what revenue caa be derived from water works, aad bow nearly they caa be made self-sustaining ? This whole business reminds me of a child trriar to walk before it can creep. " Wby, as s nutter of course, the work will be self-sustaining, and the saving tbe twn will nuke in insurance rates will be clear gain, said the boom town mac, " aod next year we will have electric lights, with the wire underground, and don't you forget it" " Tbe saving on insurance a the m t ab surd claim about all this water works ques tion," said the man cn the coal box, elevat ing his " two-fr" on til the firesiaged bis eyebrows. Advocatas of water do not claim that the Kimberiy run system will famish any fire protection worth talking about, and even if it does tbe expense of keeping op fire companies will more than off-set the saving oa insurance. Well, rrntlemen. I am honestly for wa ter works," said the man with the crooked neck, " and it doesal make much difference where tbe water come from, if the supply i sufficient, and it ia not too er pens' re. 1 do not propose, however, to irscrease my taxes, and the taxes of my neighbors, by voting for msasrue that I know Bathing about, sad eoDceraiag which I have so far been unable to learn anything. It does seem to ne those persons whaie urging this matter have not made the proper uveatigatiot of all matters to be considered before submitting it to the people. There are many other ex peases that most follow the introduction cf water, and wc should certainly soow where I the water is to come from, and what It is ro- ing to east, before we consider these other matters. Now, if the same interest was ta kea in electric lights that then has been ia wafer works, this ton would have been lighted by electricity Ion-W bare one of the prettiest little towas ia the Staff, acd there is nothing too good for as, but remem ber, we mast par for everything we get. I have always found it s very good custom to inquire the price of aa article before bcyiag it, aad I should like to know aomethiax about this water works question before I ote for it. "There has been a great deal of talk about certain parties wanting to supply the town with water aad ro the consumers." and Whiskers. "All I've got to aay is that the men so acenstd Lave done more for our town than those who make the accusation, aad I knew that the thought of putting ia water works never entered their miads. But sup pose what these blatherskites say is true, yoa can rest assured that the people of the town will not be asked for s cent until the water is conducted to their doors, aad will be sup plied as cheaply as the borough caa do it. This statement is absurd, too, because when private capital ha made no effort u build work the borough is asked to spend $J7. UO at the instance of a few fellows who have nothing to lose and no taxes to pay. That's decviedly the better way to took at the matter. 1 hare heard the wildest statements as to the way tbe vote will be on this question I have ever beard ia my life," said s promi nent young county, officia wbo has had a fair share of political experience. "I made a poll of the borough myself this afternoon, snd unless I am badly rattled, the water works question will be defeated by at least fifty votes. Some of yoa fellows may con aider this a bluff but I haven't asked a man to vote against water and I don't intend to. but that's tbe wsy it is going to stand.' "It may be possible to get wait? from Kimberiy run." said the maa with one gum boot, "but we eaa never get it for any such amount of mooey as it it claimed w can. Look at Idford as aa illustration. Their water supply cot them between e .-' aad and if yoa can judge of tbe com plaints one reads in the Beuiord papers the works are always out of repair and there is a scarcity of water. The great mistake Bed ford made was in putting in four, six aad eifc-hl inch main that are constaatly chok ing np with sand, mad sod rust, aad conse quently have to be taken up frequently. It seems to me we can learn a good lesson from Bedford mistakes, aod if we must pat in water works, why let as raise enough money to have everything done right aad not put in pipes that will be sure to prove inade quate and a cons tint source of annoyance and expense." Weil, the greatest objection I have to tha borough patting in water works, said the man with one pant-leg ia his boot, "is that what is everybody's business is nobdy's business. If our town council were salaried ocers. aad if the burgess received s salary worth having, Uiey might be expected to devote some time to seeing that sii improve ments they undertake for the public good are conducted as economically as possible. Of coarse tbe water works will be left to contract, but wbo is to watch tbe con tractor" Water works will be very burdensome to the people wbo can't afford to as the water," said the nail-keg man, ' and as I ana one of that clas I am going to vote against water."' "Over ia Caiontowa,' said the cracker barrel man, "the water company have served notice on (he people that on and after A pril 1st they will look to tbe owner of property for the payment of water rates, aod not to the parties occupying tbe same a tenants, which is only another argument why only owners of real estate should be permitted to vote aext Saturday." "Well, brethren," said the secret-society maa, "I can't help but think that if we vote for water and the question carries, it will be a step that we wiil have reason to regret as long as we live. I am aot opposed to the borough putting in a plant, but I am opposed to our expending the last cent the law will permit us to, unless it is absolutely certain that the supply will prove su 21 dent, that the pres sure will furnish tire protection, and that the cost will not be more than we caa afford. Now, yoa all know that a thorough iavesti galion of the diderent means of supplying tbe lowa with water has not been made, aad until it has been I shall not be satisfied." "Yea, but the health of tbe town ia im periied," said the boomtosa man, "and water is the only thing that will sare cs from an awful pestilence.' "Ia my jaJgment," said tbe cracker-barrel man. "the best means of preventing epi demies of disease in our town will be for the people to bring several more actions against the borough authorities similar to the one about to be returned to the court by the borough constable." "Good night '"said the jolly shop keeper as he opened the door for the reporter to pass oat. "I hope this discussion will stop after the holidays, but I'm afraid if it does, the "gang" will at once take op the qaettioa of building s new school bouse and putting ia electric light.

Ia fsocradering this question, ail must bear ia mind that the town can only be beaded by s majority rut uf its citiieas, aad the nuajor.'ry vote, even though the same be but one, will bind the minority. Let us coasd er first where tbe water is to be procured. As Car as the writer's inforscation goes. Kimherly's Eaa" has beea decide. upon aa the fountain bead for the cuppiy. Is there enough water their far the purpose The writer has c3 that rua, a?t cttce but many times wbo fhe rut of a ui.'t cof feepot would yitl J a Li,- r stream thva wss Cowing in the run, for cone w as -ow leg, the water, what little there was, stood ia puddles assocg the stones. Had this occur red bat once and ia a very dry time, the aa- fitness of "Kimlierly's run' as a sourceof our water supply would be derai.r. rated, for ia a very d-y time is when the supply is spec- tally needed. Is the mxja of " Kimberiy 's run" pure and suited for domestic use? Is a question that ordinarily should b considered, but if there is a deadeocy of watet for the purpose, or evea if there be oacertaiaty as to the suf ficiency, then " iHimber'y'j ma" is not the place, aad under the circumstance the town j should not l bunded. Wherever water-works exist, to the writ er knowledge, the water is an St to drink without quantities of ice, aad is Dot nearly so good as the water from wells. Besides this the water is very frequently cocTiimiLa ted, impure aad unlit for drinking purposes until boiled. The only uses, sad the princi pal reasons for urging the issue of bonds. ar the necessity of water for the extinguish ing of fires, for sprinkling the streets, and about certain industrial establishments ia the town, should the people be taxed be cause water-works would add to the conve nience of the few, or because insarance com panies are said to tare threatened aa in creas of rates ? Shall A, B, C, D, and others pay water rales ia shape of taxes simply to keep down the insurance rate on the proper ty of E, F, aad others ? What will be the effect on rents? To tbe writer there seems to be no doubt that rents will be doubled in case the meaaure of bondiag the town shall i carry, perhaps more than doubled ; and the reason for my position is the &ct that property holders will have to pay more tax than at present, and also where water is piped ihrough tbe houses, there mu-t be a direct outlay of a considerable amount of money for the purpese. Ucau-e tbe mains will merely peas along the street and the pipe through which the water passes into the houses aad all other connections must be laid and made at the evpene of tbe prop erty owner, who, as a matter of course, ex pects to be reimbursed perhaps several times 'for his ouliay. Who is to rtiruburs bim ? Clearly the man that rents the prop erty. Ia addition to all that I have said there must be considered the oontingency 01 failure of the works to sup-!y the town . If at so rue day, early or remote as rny be. such a failure should Occur, what then? Will the people vote another issue of bonis in order to try another experiment ? There is no such probability . Some ssy, " vote the bonds aad leuve oth er questions to be settled by the comrultue." No busioees maa would act so. No busi ness maa would put into the hinds of hi agent a vast sum. and leave the -i.t to de termine all the contingencies relating to tha expenditure of th amount. Bat this is precisely what the people arc asil to do in this rase. l et voters look over the matter calmly aad carefully, as the writer has done, let them weigh all the advantages and disad vantages, let them count out so many dol lars of iacresaed Tents, increased tax?:, in creased expenditure for ice to cool th ir w a- ter with agai&st the iaiasiDe-1 eon;t"oria o water in the house, and they, part iculariy if renter; of property, will decide as the wrier has decided, to vote iniast the war tax .
