Water rates and city growth at stake in Albuquerque
The Albuquerque Citizen criticizes the Water Supply Company for charging 36 cents per thousand gallons, arguing the price hinders city growth and trees, lawns, and gardens. It asserts that a new up to date plant could be built for about 75,000 dollars, while the current plant remains antiquated and deteriorated. The paper opposes extending the franchise and seeks to prevent profitable speculation by the company.
