A BUSINESS PROPOSITION
This water and light matter is simply
a business proposition. The people are
entitled to an adequate water supply
and and an efficient lighting service at
as reasonable rates as are obtainable?
and at a cost and in acco; dance with
terms that are consistent with the fin
ancial ability of the city.
The interests jnd desires of the cor
porations that bare been supplying that
service in the past are entitled to just
such consideration as would be bestowed
upon those of any taxpayer? neither
more nor le>s. Which means, of
course, that only where their intoresis
are in common with those of the re
mainder of the town are they deserving
of weight. For ins'ance, it is not up
to the municipality, on the one haod, to
facilitate the withdrawal of the North
west Light i Power Company from the
city just because it has not a profitable
business; nor, on the other hand, Is It
Incumbent upon it to pay tribute to the
White Pass & Vukod Route.
The competition whicn has eaten
away the profits of the Northwest Light
4 Power company is the direct result
of its own avarxiousaess. Had that
company been moment with a reasonable
rate for i:s service* and had it taken
ordinary precautions to provide a suffi
cient water supply for the city it would
have had no competition. The people
are under lo obligations because of its
predicament.
to this connection it misht be said,
also, that in helping the taxpayers to
escape from the clutcnes of the North
west Light & Power Company the rail
road company was escaping from them
itself. In assisting the citizens to se
cure a lower water and light rate the
railroad compauy did not place the
citizens under obligations to give it
patronage if they can do better.
Generally speaking, it will be ad
mitted by any reasonable man that it
were better for tne city to own and
control its own water supply than for
it lo secure it through other sources,
provided it can do so at a cost that is
not too burdensome. It is the same
principle which makes it preferable
for a business nouse to own its own
building or a family Its own residence.
There are times, however, when none
of these are practicable. The point is
to secure the best service at the least
coat and on the most practicable terms
and conditions. Whether this can be
done by m**ing a contract with the
railroad company that will safeguard
the city in every respect to better ad
vantage than by ei.tailing the expense
that would be necessary to buy the
slants of the Northwest Light & Power
Company is the question for the council
to consider. In the consideration the
financial condition of the city and the
demands on ita treasury for other pur
pose* must not be lost sight of.
