THE TREND TOWARD
‘MUNICIPAL OWNERSIIP
Acoonninc to the Engineering News ae own~
ership of waterworks is becoming more. popular in}:
the United States.
country of more than 100,000 inhabitants, and of these only}
nine are still in the power of water corporation, Theée nine] .
unfortunate cities are San Francisco, New Orleans, Indidnapolis, Denver, New Haven, Paterson, St. Joseph, Omaha
and Seratiton. Two of these, New Orleans: and Ortiaha, are]
already committed to municipal ownership. . tT here are
ninety-seven cities with populations ranging frem 100,000 to
30,000, and of those nearly seventy own waterworks, while a
number of others are making more or less rapid_progress
toward municipal .qwnership.
The News believes that this trend toward municipal
ownership is not a matter of accident or whim, but “that a
water supply is so essential to the general prosperity of a
community, and so closely related to the comfort and health
of every citizen, as to give rise to a strong feeling thatiits
supply should not be intrusted to those whose primary object
is profit.
Although Nevada City at the present time owns its own
waterworks, it can certainly indorse this opinion, for it knows
from many years experience the folly of entrusting is supply
to those whose primary object is profit. One of the wisest
moves ever made for the public benefit and advancement’ of
this municipality was the purchase of our waterworks system
by this city, and the wisdom of this enterprising venture is
manifesting. itself as the years roll by in the substantial rev—4.
There are thirty-eight cities” inthis];
Thos. Sharp, manager of the Beehive grocery store, today received a dispatch from J. J. Jackson at Sacramento
stating that the Great Council of the Improved Order of Red
Men now in session at. the. State Capital today voted to hold
its next annual session at City. This will be cheerews to the Red aa is section and to our people
erally, and Mr. Jackéon: and the other delegates from Neunty who’ have ‘worked indefatigably and zealously to
fe this honor for our city ate to be congratulated on their
ssful efforts.
The date of the next Great Council to be held here in
ibe was changed from the second week in August (the
usual date) to the third week in August, The purpose of
this change was to give the San (Francisco delegates an opportunity to vote at the primary election which is always
hae in that city on the second Tuesday of August.
/ During the same.week that the Great Council of Red. :
Men meets here,the Great Council of the Degree of Pocahontas.(the ladies’ auxiliary.-of the order) will also convene here.
Both orders will send at least six hundred delegates to this
city from all parts of California, including some of the most
prominent men in the State,
"The holding of the Red Men’s Great Council here will
not only prove to be of material benefit to the local Tribes
and onr citizens.generally, but will also be a grand opportunity for our county to put forward and advertise its great resources impressively to the visitors,
, Atany rate Nevada City will give an open-hearted
greeting and i insure them a royal good-time while they are
with us,

CIT FOUNTAINS.
They Would Undoubtédly Redound to the
City’s Great Good.
Among talked of improvements at
the City Trustees’ meeting last evening Trustes Buckley urged that the
city erect a water fountain at the
Pleza. This is a subject that has been
discussed and dwelt upon by the people at large, as well as by the City
Dads, and the consensus of ‘opinion
seems to prevail that the proposition
ought to be carried into execution, Not
only are the citizens and tax payers in
favor of a fountain at the Plaze, bat
the majority of them openly and unreservedly promulgate the erection of
one in the center of town, where the
thirety may quench their parched
throats at will, In Sacramento, Chico,
Oroville and various other places in
the State drinking stands are maintained and preserved for the benefit
and accommodation of those who are
vitally interested, and where once es
tablished have proved to be of inestimable good to their respective places.
As it is now persons in need of nature’s
cool and sparkling beverage are forced
to seek their homes or else ask the
favor of private places. By all means
have public fountains and thereby
earn the thanks and approbation of an
appreciative people.
