The Albuquerque Citizen argues for municipal action to relieve extreme summer heat and tenement misery. It urges parks, ice, pure water and milk, sanitary commissions, and enforcement of the city franchise with the water company to prevent future tragedies like the July 1906 deaths. It criticizes greed and calls America to adopt Europe’s welfare-minded municipalities.
The New Mexican notes a claim that a modern water plant for Albuquerque with twelve wells, mains, pumps, hydrants and stand pipes could be installed for about 75 000 to 76 000 dollars as supported by Colonel Jastro with San Bernardino experience. It critiques the local water company and cites recent public service frictions and franchise actions in Roswell and national figures.
The Citizen urges Albuquerque residents to appoint a citizens committee to hire an external expert at their own expense. It argues the city council and Water Supply company should not control the expert, and recommends fair funding by both parties to avoid objections to the inquiry.
