has proved to be the big hit of the bill. To-
announcint? my candidacy for republican
fe Water Board. I herewith state explicitly
fad on matters pertaining
1. The citizens of Omaha acquired the present water
plant with a view of obtaining water for all its citizens,
and with this in view I stand squarely on the proposition
that mains shall be extended (if desired by majority of
owners) so that he or she, no matter how humble, may
have city water. People must have water; they cannot
quench their thirst by reading statements of million-dollar
surplus created out of the funds of the people.
2. The water plant was acquired under the impres
sion that the small consumer should get water at cost;
municipal ownership not providing for dividends nor a
surplus to its managers. The $60&,543.29 shown in recent
statement of water, plant represents $606,543.29 pver
charges by present management, an amount inviting spec
ulation, speculative ventures and extravagances. There
being 33,187 water consumers this overcharge represents
$18.28 from each consumer.'
I stand for lower rate. Above mentioned surplus
shows that lower rates are possible, not at a future date,
but NOW.
3. , I stand for tenants being able to secure water on
the same basis as owners. They have the same standing as
owners with the Electric Light Company, Gas Company
and Telephone company, but not so with the Water
Board. At present, should a tenant desire to move into
new quarters, he or she must see that the preceding ten
ant's water bill has been paid before water application
is granted. This practice is utterly ridiculous, unlawful
and pernicious, as it is the duty of the Water Board to sell
water to whoever wishes to buy, and incumbent on its
management to collect therefor, and the burden of this
Lduty should not be shifted on
4. l am opposed to reDates as unjusi ana pernicious,
and condemn the present management for granting same.
