A BONA FIOE WATER DEAL YES, BUT
WHAT KINO OF A WATER DEAL?
Any of tho*e people that arc not will
ing and ready to put tbelr money in
the Water Work*, the other people are
ready to take over their etock, at any
lime that they think that It is not a
bona tide deal. As to the oppoaitlon
party all of tho?e candidate* ean with
draw any time thev chose. ? Taxpayers'
Record.
No body his thought that it is not a
bona flde deal. The only objection to
this business is the manner in which
the matter is approached. It may be
all right, but you Know this thing was
tried once before, the city of Skagway
was asked to bay this same plant for
f'25,000 which private citizens have now
purchased? only one year later? for a
price said to be $15,000. This business
of buying water work* should be ap
proached with cool heads and all the
detail*, the present condition of the
pl*nt, the sum involved in necessary
Improvements and the COST OF OP
KRATION all gone into and these laid
before the Taxpayer who must pay
for it.
It 1$ impossible that this can be done
la the heat of a political campaign and
that an attempt should be tnido to
commit the city to any such policy
through the means of a platform that
only states the proposition by indirec
tion is not calculated to enlist the oon
Bdeoce cf the taxpayer? to say the Tery
least.
A QUESTION OF FAIR PLAT.
"Owing to the fact that wecaonot get
Fair Pi ay, from the one paper that is
printed in his town, we are forced to
t?ke this method of informing the Vot
ers and Taxpayers of the r?al state of
afftirs existing at the present moment
In Skagway.
This Is from the Taxpayers' Record,
a sheet issued from the Atrekan office
by the leader of the so-callcd Taxpay
ers' Party. Just what kind of treat
ment would be considered fair treat
ment it would be difficult to describe,
if It has not been furnished by the Al~
askan."
To what has been said here concern
ing the matter that is absorbing the
Interest of the people of Skegway toJsy
the Alaskao has nothing to add. The
Alaskan has expressed the belief that
as between the men now before the
voters for election to the chairs at the
c uncil table every voter Is quite able
to judge for hlmsolf, the purpose be
hind their office-seeking being made
clear. 2 he men are ail well known.
The judgement of the people in the
matter must prevail. Their interest has
been quickened? that is the main
thing. The election will certainly not
go either way by default.
