Municipal ownership vs private bonds in Williston water works case
A meeting last Friday debated bonds for water works and electric lights. Proponents argued municipal ownership saves taxes over ten years, while opponents accused private syndicates of graft and aimed for a franchise. They claimed private control would cost residents about $3,000 yearly in taxes and bonds, with the city eventually paying far more. The proponent urged voters to favor bonds, noting ten-year tax costs would be far lower and ownership would transfer to the people, potentially saving around one hundred thousand dollars.
