The Waterworks Question.

PACKED WITH ELECTORS ALL THE INTRODUCTION OF rHE RESOLUTIONS PASSED.

MARKET HALL IN FAVOR OF WATERWORKS

A rarer number of electors attended the | in ‘the Market Hall! Havi- |

waterworks last evenmg. land presided. ; }

On motion the correspondence which had | taken place between the Citizen's Com- | mittee and the authorities ef the principal | cities of the Dominion and United States, was ordered to be read.

Charles Palmer, Esq. then came forward and read some extracts from letters and pamphlets. The first was from a letter of Mayor Fenety, of Fredericton, N. B., anc is as follows:

‘Our works cost the city $100,000—the pumping system. Debeatures were issued at 9 per cent. The cost of running and interest is about $10,000 per annum. The consumption revenue is about $4,000 a year. | The interest tax on the debt is likely to con- | tinue for many years to come.

meet ing His Wership Mayor

The works un- der proper management should not in the building have exceeded $70,000. Our Council went to work wrong end foremost. They sent to Boston for Engineers, and they came here and told them (the Council) what was re- quired, &c., &e., what the cost would be and we accepted just what they suggested. Our folks had no ideas of their own, but placed themselves entirely in the hands of strangers. Now, what I would suggest is that when you conclude upon having water works, have two commissioners appointed at a moderate salary for a commencement. Before taking the first step, let those commissioners (men with heads on their shoulders, in whom your people have ontideuce as business men) visit places where water works are in operation (upon the pump- ing system) and learn the cost and the prac- tical working of the whole business.”

Mr. W. J. Robertson.of Moncton, N. writes :

‘*] think the citizens of Moncton made a move in the direction of having a water supply for the town. A company was organ- ized with some difficulty, the trouble being to get a suflicient stock subscribed to warrant the commencement of the work. It was urged by some that the town should take a considerable portion of the stock, but was opposed by others, and the result was the town took no stock. ‘The company organized and preceeded with the work of supplying the town with water and gas.

There being a large amount of work going that time, a favorable

entered into with the

B.,

contract was for ten years. The stock has paid good divi- dends, and is selling to-day at a considerable premium. I think it would have been a good move for the town in our case to have owned a part or all the stock. I think it would have

a Committee of the Council, consisting of a Chairman, two Councillors and the Mayor, who are appointed annually. _ There isan

cil through the Chairman of the Waterworks Committee. When we put the water in, no would have taken hold of it, as it een, and still is not self-sustaining, it was carried out by borrowing money on Deben- tures, running twenty years. It is a combin- ation of the Waterous System, (pumping) and the latter more for domestic

has

gravitation, | former supplementing with stronger pressure. | J should say that Truro is satistied with its | present system, but like all places putting in water for such purposes, we have had to pay for our experience, and there are many points that if we had the same work to do again,that we would profit by said experience. Notably so--too small pipes to save expense (false economy) four inch pipe was put down. This year we lifted about 2000 feet of this, and re- placea it with eight inch, and it is only a question of time of all the small pipe on our principal streets being taken up. This 1 would lay great stress upon, ‘‘a large pipe.” I would suggest to you before going per- manently into the matter, the visiting of the different towns in the Provinces by some practical men, and judging for themselves. It would pay you in theend. The cost of our present system has been about $40,000."

The Mayor of Woodstock, N. B., writes :

‘““A Committee of the Town Council run our works, but they should be run by a Com- mission. You will readily understand this if you have ever been in any City Council. I ; think it almost impossible for any City Cor poration to run waterworks without a Com- mission. Our Town Council] has alway op-

osed Water Commissions, but I think we will x a Commission in a short time, as the people begin to see the necessity of it. I can assure you all are satisfied with the works.”

Mr. John F. Abbott, of Keene, N. H., writes :—

‘““Qur waterworks system. still fulfils all expectations, and \ veryone is reconciled. | send you our City Report, from which you can see that our income from waterworks pays the interest upon the bonded water debt, and leaves a surplus—a handsome one—to apply on the interest on the railroad and sewer bonds. Our pew addition to the water sys- tem cost $37,000, for which bonds at 34 per cent. were issued January 1, 1887, payable after all other bonds. These sold at par.”

D. A. Duffy, Esq., Mayer of Moncton, N. B., writes :—

‘* The waterworks is owned by a Company, but I should say the Town should own them.”

After reading the correspondence Mr. Palmer moved the following resolution which was seconded by John Ings, Esq., and carried unanimously :—-

Whereas, from information read to this meeting, being answers to enquiries addressed to all the cities of the United States, they having waterworks, viz., 114, as to which is the best scheme for their introduction, viz., whether by Company or: City ownership, it appears that with singular unanimity they are opposed to Company ownership and manage- iment;

And Whereas, it further appears from re- wrts and correspondence also before the meet- ing, received from Trure, Fredericton, Monc- ton, Woodstock, Taunton, Mass., Keene (New Hampshire) and Ottawa, that City ownership is preferred and strongly recommende:| in pre- ference to Company ownership of Water- works;

Therefore Resolved, that the Waterworks for this City of Charlottetown be the property of the City.

Joha Ings, Esy., moved, and Archibald Kennedy, Esq , seconded the following re- solution :—

Whereas, The vast preponderance of infor formation now before this meeting shews that water works under the control and manage- ment of City Councils have been feund ty

evident that the management and control of such works by commissioners is most com- mendable, :

Therefore Resolved, That the construction management and control of the water works of Charlottetown be vested in three water commissioners, to be elected by the citizens, one of whom to retire annually. The quali. fication of electors and the mode of election to be the same as for Mayor.

John Kelly, Esq., moved in amendment, seconded by F. L. Haszard, Esq., that the following words be added : % With the ex- ception of Franchise voters.”

The amendment was carried, resolution as amended passed dissenting.

Charles Palmer, Esq., moved and Archi- bald Kennedy, Esq., seconded the follow- ing resolution :

Resolved, That a special committee of seven be appointed to take charge of the resolutions, and to prepare a draft bill in accordance there- with to be submitted to the Legislature,

The committee was then appointed as follows: Charles Palmer, Dr. McLeod, M. P. Hogan, Daniel Davies, John Ings, James Macdonald, George R. Beer. |

It was then on motion of James Macdon- ald, Esq., seconded by Charles Binns, Esq. :

Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be conveyed to the various Mayors and other gentlemen (especially to Mayor Fenety, of Fredericton,) and tothe Secretary, Mr. H. James Palmer, who carried on the correspon- dence, for the information afforded.

John Ings, Esq., was then called to the chair, and on motion of Archibald MeNeill, Esq., seconded by Horace Haszard, Esq., it was,--

Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be tendered His Worship, Mayor Haviland, for his able, impartial and independent con- duct in the chair.

The Mayor acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting adjourned.
