AN EDITORIAL In his recommendation to Council, contained in a letter pub- lished in these columns last week, Engineer John H. Wicker- sham, gave us the solution to more water, better pressure and adequate water provision for the future growth of our boro. By his method the change could be made without disturbing one foot of our present water pipe network thruout the boro and last but by no means least, the disadvantages of open ditches, torn up streets and alleys plus the inconvenience of Mr. and Mrs. Public while the changes are in progress. He has completed the mission for which he was engaged, if and when the boro decides to turn on the “go” signal. Our readers will remember that at the last regular meeting of Council that body decided to lay a 12-inch water main at a cost of $82.000.00. A motion to that effect was made and car- ried. In this ‘we think Council erred. We have a good Council personnel and we know there isn’t one member who would make a personal expenditure without first knowing whether he had the finances. BUT, Council decided on an expenditure of $82,000, because the engineer recommended it. not even considering when, where or how the debt was to be paid. They must not forget that when our Water Works was built the promoters created a debt of $40,000. To be exact the bonds were ordered issued by an ordinance passed December 2nd. 1873 as follows: 30 at $500 each, and 250 at $100 each. Also that “they shall be payable to the bearer forty years after their date, but may be sooner paid, at the option of the Boro.” It naturally required some time until the water works was built and ready for operation. According to the copy of an or- dinance in the writer's possession, passed by Boro Council Aug. 1, 1892, Henry L. Stager, Burgess, regulations relative to the use of water were formulated. As near as we can remember the last of these water bonds were paid off about four years ago, fifty years after they were issued, even though they were to be retired ten years earlier. We feel confident that our Water Works needs improving, but there are many, many tax payers who heartily agree that RIGHT NOW is by no means the time to do it. The Boro of Lititz has abandoned labor are sky-high today. Material and the idea of sewage and improvements to its water system due to today’s excessive and costly prices and we voice the senti- ments of a majority of our citizens when we say that the laying of this 12-inch water main should be postponed. Engineer Wickersham says it would increase our pressure and improve our fire protection. lieve this is true but feel confident we could “shift along.” tiently awaiting a break in cost. We have every reason to be- pa- We understand from some of the expressions at the recent special meeting, that Council may reconsider its recent order to spend $82,000. It would be well. OUR SUGGESTION If and when Council decides to spend $82,000 for better water facilities it might be well to consider: Providing larger storage basins in order to save some of the water going seaward. This supply could be used to great ad- vantage during a drought or a week's rain. Concrete our present boro reservoir, thereby preventing con- siderable loss of water by the present seepage. Put a concrete collar on our reservoir, thereby increasing storage there and in the standpipe. at the same time stepping up our water pressure a trifle. Tie in some of the water mains on the south side of the boro, thereby eliminating many dead ends. This too, would slightly increase pressure and improve water service to consumers and in case of fire. di cnn lin) Ciel MOST VOL.
