Tedious Progress of the Con
struction of the Plant.
SOME STARTLING FACTS.
he Actual Cost of Work Done Tenfold
flrealer Than the Original KMlnmtrs.
Fact Wlilcli Prove That the Plant Chi
not bo Completed for Lets than SSOO.tMHI
It is now nearly two-and-a-half yoarsslncc
tho movement to erect a borough water
workB was inaugurakd, and almost two years
lnce tho creation of a bonded debt of $01
000 for tho nuipoeo was authorized by tho
sxpayers of the borough, and the work
actually commenced. Any undertaking of
the magnitude of this enterprise must
necessarily consume tlmo in its completion
but the progrefs of the wotk in this cilfo liar
been even moro tedious mid uncertain than
tho mint unrelenting opponent of the project
could dtifiie. When the scheme was firet
rujeutid Its advocates declared, and honetl
olicvid, perhaps, that the plant- wculil he
coDiplcti d in much leos tlmo than has al
ready elapsed. They luado littlo or no
allowance of cither time or money in their
estimates for tho delays that were certain to
result ft om caused then apparent to every
dispaHilouate and impartial observer of tho
condli Ions under which tho enterprise was
aunched. One obstaclo after another has
arisen in tho path of tho project and oie
law suit after another has resulted from t hi
alleged trespass of tho borough upon the
vested rights of others until today tho project
Is entangled in
A1TA1IKNT1.Y KNDI.ESS LITIGATION.
The promoters and backers of tho enter
prise will probably reply to tnis ny saying
that if they had not beeu restrained by the
niunciions ol the slicnanuoan water and
Gas Company the borough plant would he
comploted long ago. It may be admitted
that tho work would ho farther advanced
than it is at present if tho water c m,a y
and tho taxpayers opposed to tbo schemo had
oil- red no resistance, but, for reasons tha
will appear further on in this article, H will
be seen that it could not have been com
tileted Tho legal and moral right of the
water company to contos' overy inch of tl o
ground 13 conceded by ove y fair-minded aui.
Intelligent Cliizcn 01 mc oorougn, mougn 11
may bo denied by persons who advocate tin
looiriue that might makes right. On tin
part of tho Shenandoah Water Company Um
oniet-t has been one lor tlio rreservatlou o
vested rights a struggle for existence aue
the maintenance in t.ct of a valuable prop
c.rty. They havo done only what any othe-
lnd vuiuat or association 01 inuiviuuai
wi uld havo been perfectly justified in doing
under tho saaio circumstances, tno trouni
seems to be that Council and tho water ot m
mitten did not make the proper allowance loi
the delays that were certain to bo occasioned.
bv these ininnctlons, all 01 wmcn were lor.
shadowed before tho woik of coMtructioi
was coinmencid or the increase of debi
authorized.
But it is not tho dolay in tlio construction
of tho plant that has
llXCITEl) 1'Ulll.lC COMSIKNT
so much as the discrepancies in tlio estimates
of the ur-t of tho plant, made by Council aim
tho water commlt'eo, and the ditllculty with
which any information regarding tho progress
of tho work is obtained. Forsomo loason or
other neither Council nor tho water com
itteo has seen fit at any lime since tbo com
mencement of tho work to publish any sott
of statement of its progitss or in any other
manner convey to Iho tc "-"era in ioca or
what is being done Their . ...u
formation has been the Hki'.aM), and it has
been ablo to glean but little from tiruo to
tiirioof tho actual progress of the work.
In withholding Iroin tho taxpayers this
information we believe both Council and tho
water cummittco have been actuated by
worthy but niMakcn inotivesof public polity
The obstacles that have arisen to itnpedo the
progress of thework and the actual costol
work done in excess 01 me nrimnai esiima'ee,
havo been deeply dif couraging to tho manage
ment of tho enterprise. We can roadlly un
derstand how. under these conditions, they
might delur to a later period tho publication
of a statement, in tbo hope that somewhere
in tho construction the actual cost will fall
hi 1 iw tlio cellmate and furnish a partial off
set to the bd showing thus far made. We
are fully convinced by exporlcnce, however,
that this hopo is unrounded and that tho
longer the real (acts in the ease aro concealed
tho woihe tho showing will bo when it is
finally made. It is this condition of things
aild thefr quoit inquiry which it haaarnust-d
that has prompted tliellKEAI.i) toinvts igito
the matter, and it is a sense 01 puuuc uuty
that iiunuls us now to lay before tbo tax
payers of the borough an impartial statement
of thu facts as they exist, so far as wo have
been able to ascertain them.
HTAltTLINO UIBCREfANClKS.
It will be remembered that when the
movemeut was being agitated several esti
mates of tho probable cost of tho plant weiu
published. These estimates rouged from
83,(KXJ up to $2110,000, and tojie persout
went so tar as to claim that the oot would
not be tm than aSO,000. The principal
Mlmtln. however, were furnlbhed by
Couiicl and the water committee, and by
A. B. Cochran A Son, engineers, of PotU
viile. itoth of these estimates were itemized.
The total of tlit former was1 $H2 Wis 75, in
oludl.igall expinsea incurred up 10 June
lbHli, and the exhibit was used as a campaign
document at tho election 111 June, 18IU. when
the inci cue of debt was voted un and de
cided. The latter estimate was made under
oath and filed tbo total cost uc $150 000.
Messrs. Cool ran, however, declaring that
ttioy would nut care to take the contract and
gusranteo u good plant for that amount of
U)'-ney.
What iaosjooially interesting just now isa
coninsrisoQ of the actual cost of the items
thus far completed with the estimates of
Council and tho water committee. These
comparisons will show that if thosamo ratio
of excess of actual cost over original estimates
shall continue throughout tho entile cost of
the nlaut will exoned even the most ex
travagant estimate ever mado even by those
who opposed tbo movement. The first item
in the estimate of Council and the water
committee is one of $000 for 20 acres of land
upon which tho pumping station is being
erected. This land is owned by William h.
Torbert. It has been condemned and taken
possession ot by the borough, but Mr. Torbert
refuses to convey a titlo for tho consideration
offeied. Ho is willing to relinquish his claim
to the probity, but, insists thaf he has the
right to fix tbe price at which ho shall part
with it and names $15,000 as the figure. The
borough hat possession, but the
HOUOUdll IB A Tr.KSI'AMSKH,
and tbeimult muht be another law suit and
adilitU ual costa and counsel fees. The end
ot thi must be a vcidict by n jury that will
proba' Iy t ike tbe libtral view ol tho matter
that Dr. T.irben is tbo best judge of the
value of his own property, that the borough
iswcllsblcto pay and that If it insists on
taking propctty which tho owner is not
anxious to sell it must pay the price that ho
demands. Instead of U00 for this item tlio
probable actual cost is likely to bo nearly
$10,000, Including costs and counsel fee, and
certain not to fall below $10,000, or cloven
times tho amount of tho original estimate.
The next item in tbo estimates with which
a comparison of tho actual cost can now be
made is that of tho reservoirs. Mr. Cochran
pltccd the cost of tho reservoir at Davis'
Uun at $3,800. Council and the water com
mittee lumped tho cost of both reservoirs and
put tho flguro at $10,500. It is not di finitely
known what their csttmato of tho reservoir
at the pumping station was, though It is
klml-olTlcially declared to havo been $2 GOO.
That reservoir has been constructed. It ia
tho only part of tho work completed, and Its
cost, when compared with the original
estimates, shows that thoso who made tho
latter knew nothing about tho work. Instead
of $3,800 (tho Cochran estimate) or $2,500
(tho wator committee s estimate) tho actual
cost has been $10,209.52. That amount has
been paid to Qulun and Kerns, the conlrac
tors in the following instalments:

It may bo well to observe also that the

of tho plant. Wo are not certain as to how
his compensation is lixed, but havo a vuno
recollection that ho is receiving A percentage
on tho cost of tho plant. This is tbo way
architects and engineers on public wuiks aro
usually employed, and as their salaries de
pend on tho cost of tho work they seldom
fill to run tho cost up to tho limit. Tho $150

This is an extraordinary showing. It is a
p'aln statement of undlsp ited and indisnutu
le facts calculated to s artlo tbe confiding
t xpaycis who honestly believed that tbo
plant could ho constructed for a lesssum than
$100,000. What the cost of tho storage reser
voir will be, if it is ovor built, can only be
conjectured now, though it is entirely safe to
sy that it will bo fivefold greater than the
oi-timato of $8,000. Mr. Woniolsdorfs esti
mate ot tho probable cost of this reservoir is
$00,000, and if it is to bo in keeping with the
ono erected on thostnam in tho valley it
will probably cost that much But let us ad
ait that it cau aud will be built for 140,000
and tho estimate Is a conservative one ia view
of tho cost of tho small ono whoro will we
be at when it is completed ? Presuming that
Mr. Torbert will havo to be paid $15,000 for
the 20 acres of land at Davis' liuu, he cost of
the two reservoirs, with incidental expensos,
will mount up to $78,520 32, or within $4,000
of tbe water committee's ts imate fur the
plant complete Other liabilities that have
linen Incurred aud not enumerated here will
probably consume, most if not all of tbe re
maining $10,000, and leave nothing to pay for
machinery, pipes aud other items which in
the original estimates wero seven-tenths of
the entire cost of tbo plant.
A pertinent question to ask now it: Wiiat
will tho water committee and Council do
when tho $05,000 authorized to bo borrowed
fcr tho purpose is speut aud the water works
is less than half completed? If the wirk
goes on that question is certMn ti arise. Will,
they go back to the peoplo and ask for k
further increaso of debt? m if they do
will tho peoplo vote another $U5.i)irO into the
enterprise? Two hundred thou-.ml dollars
debt means $10,000 ayear iuti.:.at, aud the
peoplo may hesitate before plncing such a
burden unnecessarily on thilr own shoulders.
ADDITIONAL DISOEEPANCIEB.
Tills reminds us also that in tho original
calculations the rate of interest to be uald on
borough bunds was 4 per cent, while tho
bonds unw being sold are 5 per cents., which
will mako the annual interest $5,000 iusiuad
of $1000, or the aggregate difference, if the
bonds run 30 years, just $30,000.
1 he wide difference between primiso and
peifoimanco was never more clearly or
forcibly demonstrated than in tbo undertak
iug and construction of thiaenterprise. One
of the arguments advancedTiy its advocates
to ntuh the uuthiukiug citizen and taxpayer
was that the wages paid to labor would ne
paid to local workmen and that it would bo
distributed among looal business men. Aside
from tbe waes paid the watchmen there has
not been a dollar of the niouey thus far paid
out rtceivwl by a looal work lueuian. The
con tractors who built the reservoir havo
their own laborers and they have not come
mto tho local market for wuiknjcu. The
money has therefore not beeu earned by
oitisens of the borough, nor has it been dis
tributed among local merchants.
Thireistobea joint meeting of Council
and the water cotmuittee Ibis evening, and it
is not improbable that some sort of a state
ment of tho present condition and future
prospects of tho water works project will bs
forthcoming. It would seem that some ex
planation of the discrepancies between the
actual oust of the woik lready done and the
original estimab e would be now in order.
The question 110 lunger is, when will tho
plant b completed, but,
WILL IT BYKR I)B COMPLETED t
It caiiiitt hi- done with tbe money now
available for the purpose, aud tho question
arises wo iber it is better to go to the peoplo
lor more iui i.ey or to abandon the project
before any mom money is lost. The enter
prise isa dismal and sorrowful failure, and
the farther ii is pushed now the greater the
wreck is sure tube This fot, we think has
been clearl demonstrated to the satitlaotion
of every inUII'uent aud impartial citizen
who can disp c innately review what has
alrendy been t i-omi hshed.
Ihcii -H-onib . no ttnt probable way to yot
escape ironi tin
impendiug disaster thai
threatoim tbe pioiect, but the oppo'tunlly
1 niust be wiid now if the borough is to havo j
the advantagi of it. That is to sell tho ,
pumpiug plant aud (20,000 reservoir ou
Davis' Bun to tho Shenandoah Water & Gas
Company at the best torms that can be ob
tained and abandon tho entire project, law
suits and all. Tho Wator Company would
doubtless be willing to entertain a proposi
tion of this kind, as Ihoy would havo use for
tho pump in dry seasons. An arrangement
of this kind would givotheUwo an abun
dant supply or water and savo tho enterprise
now in tho hands of Council from inevitable
and ruinous failure. It must bo clear to
every person now that tho borough water
works, if ever completed, will cost a sum ex
cccding $200,000, and it must be equally clear
rnai 11 would nover pay mo operating ex.
penses and interest on that amount of money.
ItOW TO AVOID DISASTKR.
This suggestion is not likely to bo received
In a very Iriendly spirit by members of Couu
cil or tho water committee who havo' been
backing the project from its inception, and
who nro probably determined that it shall go
through at any cost. We want to say, how
ever, that it is mado in good faith and in tho
belief that it is the only way irretrievable
failure and serious loss to the boroiiKh can
now bo prevented. Wo have no assurance
that tho water company would entertain the
proposition if it wero mado, further than tho
knowledge that if they aro to continue to
supply tho borough with wator they mnst
make provision for tho dry seasons when their
pR&cnt supply runs low. Wo fcol that if the
Council and tho water committee is to bo
guided in tho future by the experiences of the
pssi ana tno proper spirit shall prevail be
tween thorn and the water company, au
arrangement can bo ellccted that will bo
mutually advantageous to both and that will
assuro tlio town an abundant supply of wator
without incurring the risk of an enormous
debt of $200,000 or more. Wo believe, how-
ever, that if a proposition of this kind is to
bo mdo it should como from Council and the
water committee, and not from tho water
company. Council may find it hard to
entertain tbe thought, but partial failure
now is prcferablo to disaster in tho future
