Public plea to set history right on Muscatine water works
A stockholder in the old Muscatine Water Works defends the private owners against claims of profit over water quality. The letter notes the 1876 formation aimed at fire protection and low insurance, not profits, and that plans for a filtration plant were prepared and offered to fund with city help. It argues pure water would have cost no more than current rates and urges not to vilify civic investors.
