THE WATER WORK'S QUESTION.
XcCook , June Ji'Ul ,
KurroitTniKU.Ni : : Permit me too address
a few remarks , through your columns , to tho
chronic individual of the McCook ( Jaxctte in
reply to his remarks in the Gazette , June 17 ,
on the water works question. For the benefit
of the people of McCooic who are interested
in this question , and especially to those who
are not posted on the customary charges for
plumbers' supplies and labor , we will state
that the chronic individuals remarks are
wholly uncalled for , and his assertions that
plumbers' charges in McCook are exorbitant
are entirely false. The charges are in fact
extremely low compared to plumber * ' char.
ges in Lincoln , Omaha , Kansas City or any
eastern city. At the same time these ] ( lumb
ers' supplies cost considerably more here than
they do in any of the abovenamed places , on
account of having a heavy rate of freight to
pay on them. He has never lived nor sojourn
ed to any extent before in a town where they
enjoyed the privileges of a water system it is
evident from his ignorance of the necessary
cost of those privileges. The youngest school
boy knows as much as lie about the actual
cost of lead pipe , iron pipe , hydrants , etc. ,
judging by his remarks. 13nt then , a man
who knows no more about estimating percen
tage than the c. i. can't be expected to know
much about plumbing. As in the bill which
he shows up , the item of drayage ( "iOc. ) he
says is the smallest overcharge ou the bill ,
and says 'tis only oO per cent , above the usual
rates. As the usual rate per dray load is 2oc.
we would ask him where he got his mathe
matical education , to call SOc. only r o per
cent , above i5c. We suppose that is about
the way he estimated the whole business-
guessed at it and Mated his guesses as facts.
Isow , Mr. Editor , 'tis within our knowledge
to know beyond all doubt , that there are a
number of our citizens who have been to either
Lincoln , Omaha or Denver to get certain
good in the plumbers' line , and paid from
. > 0 to 7o per cent , more than they would have
been charged for the very same goods right
in McCook. Then they had to pay the freight
also , which added to original cost considera
bly. But these imrties don't like to talk on
the subject , it makes them feel so queer. One
of our townsmen , some time since , went to
Denver and inquired there about the price
of some tiling for a sewer. It was priced to
him at 25 cents per foot. He sent to St.
.Joseph , and was offered the same pipe for
20 cents per foot. And finally he thought he
would see what price they had the cheek to
, ask him for the pipe here , and teamed that
Mr. Meeker had the moral courage to draw
too long breaths and one short one and
charge him 14 cents per foot for the same
pipe. He , strange to say , four-hided not to
pay :20 or i" cents and freight it here. Such
i > the ease with a good many. They don't
learn what they ran do at home until they
have sent off somewhere and bought , then
they learn to their sorrow they could have
done better at home. We know and cau sub
stantiate what we say , that it is the will and
desire of the managers of the water works to
have all these things supplied at extremely
reasonable figures , and that they exact prom
ises from the parties in their employ who
furnish these things not to charge but a cer
tain percentage for material , over and above
the cost laid down , and we know that the
percentage is less than eastern plumbers'
charges. As far as the water tax is concern
ed , anyone who has ever lived in any other
city , and enjoyed the privileges of a water
system , will not find any fault , with the tax
here. Where are there any property owners
in McCook who take pride in adorning their
yards with shrubbery , etc. , who are finding
any fault with the taxes. The majority ac
knowledge they are fully repaid. All fair-
minded people acknowledge the tax simply
for household purposes to be reasonable. We
should judge that the c. i. has been sponging
water from his neighbor's hydrant to mop
with. The hydrant being borne distance
away , he does not drink much in the course
of a year , or else he sponges a great deal of
his other drinks , as he says water is about as
dear as other drinks. We have it from good
authority that one of the plumbers * bills he
speaks of belonged to one of our attorneys.
For one of a profession that conies so near
taking all their clients' worldly goods for their
services , to grumble at a plumbers' bill as
small as the one mentioned , for such a man
we blush for shame. We dare say that , were
the instigators of the article in the Gazette to
investigate the actual cost of plumbers ma
terial laid down in McCook , they would be
disgusted with themselves for proclaiming
their ignorance to the world , numbers" wa
ges the world over are above the general run
of mechanics : and welt they should be.
Think a moment of the dangers they incur
by laboring hard in wet ditches , damp cellars
and oil-times in the coldest weather , feet wet ,
clothes wet and frozen. Sometimes in sew
ers , breathing the foulest air , sometimes for
hours. In these places they often contract
diseases that they can never rid themselves
of. Jt has been the writer's experience to
know personally men who have gone to un
timely graves from the aove ! causes , and all
for three or four dollars per day. And then
to have such penurious and false accusations
hurled at them ! Such men would find fault
with a plumbers" bill if 'twas one-half of the
actual net cost of the material. Before the
c. i. makes any more such assertions it would
be wise in him to ascertain a few facts about
plumbing , and not continue trying to instill
the idea into its readers mind's that they are
being robbed , for it makes alt fair-minded
people and every one who knows the truth
about the water business tired to hear sucli a
continual abuse of those who are making
but just charges. COMMON SKXSE.
