AN OPEN LETTER TO CITIZENS
OF ROBBINS IN GENERAL AND
TO J. W. ARMSTRONG DIRECTLY
WHY THERE IS NO WATER
We are wondering if the Reverend J. W. Armstrong
proposed to tell his readers why there is no water or if
it was his intention to tell them to whom to report the
situation? Or does he just wish to make some idle re
marks?
For your information, Rev. J. W. Armstrong, the water
condition in the village of Robbins is well known by the
County Health department; the U. S. Health department;
the Cook County Board and every other agency that you
can name. This being a fact, the only advice the village
board could get was the village needs a reservoir and a
larger pipe line to supply its citizens.
It so happens that it takes money to put in these
larger pipe lines—to the' amount of $400,000.00. And
even now some people are crabbing about paying $1.50
per month for water. An investigation of the records at
the village hall will disclose the fact that a large per
centage of the water users are not paying even the $1.50
per month for water.
There is another percentage who has large houses
and is renting them out and pay only $1.50 per month
when they should be paying $1.50 PER MONTH FOR
EACH FAMILY.
For your further information, the village board has
secured a loan to put this larger pipe line through.
It is true that the village is open to epidemics—dis
eases—not only because of the shortage of water, but
because some citizens have so much filth and garbage
around their homes. Everybody can clean that up. It
should always be remembered "people living in glass
houses should never throw stones."
If our - leaders, especially the preachers, would do
more constructive teaching on how to LIVE instead of
criticizing there is lots of work to be done in this village
and the preachers could play a MOST IMPORTANT part
in helping to get it done!

lauded by some members of the
