NOT A BUSINESSLIKE PROPOSI
TION
It is unfortunate that the water
works committee of the olty council
has been unable to jrive the people the
,nformation in connection with the
proposition to lease the water-works
and electric lighting plant of the
Northwest Light & Power company
which is necessary to make it possible
to vote intelligently upon the question.
Last Monday the Daily Alaskan asked
questions relative to the value of the
plants of the company, as to their con
dition of repair, as to the coat of such
repairs as would be necessary to uk&ke
adequate to the city's needs, as to their
income, and as to other propositions
and opportunities to get water and
light. At the council' meeting that
night a member of the water-works
committee, recognizing their perten
ance, promised that all the questlous
would be answered satisfactorily to the
people.
In spite of this, the taxpayers are
now oalled upon to vote on the question
with none of these questions answered,
except as the questions with reference
to other propositions than the proposed
lease were answered by Mr. Hahn's
interview.
The Daily Alaskan is not disposed to
criticise the city council in this matter;
it prefers to believe that it has been
unable to get the information which
was asked for ana promised. However,
we insist that the information should
be in the hands of the people to reduce
this iease and purchase proposition to
as strictly a business Oasis as it should
be on.
If those young people, who have con
tracted the habit of shooting beans and
other misiles from the balcony of the
Elks' hall into the audience below
during the progress of an entertain
ment tiero, knew how annoying to
others is their particular style of
amusement they would probably
become more decqfious. The bean
(hooter brigade was particularly active
last night.

Id this wate." -woris and electric
lighting proposition it Is the duty ol
every taxpayer to divest himself of all
prejudices, to disregard personal
interest and to decide the question on
the same business principles which
would control his actions were he per
sonally in the position of the city.
If the taxpayers should vote "No"
Monday they will probably get a whole
lot better proposition from the North
west Light & Power Company than any j
that has yet been presented to the city.
The city council is deserving of full
credit for submitting the water and
light proposition to thr< taipayes in
stead of rushing it regardless of their
desires.
Let every taxpaypr appear at the polls
Monday and vote m accordance with bis
judgment and conscience
