A DAMNABLE OUTRAGE.
Nero, who historians say was responsible for the burning of
Rome, did not receive any more curses from the populace of that
city than did the Tonopah United Water company at last night's
fire. At first the fire department was criticised for its slowness
in securing water, but when the real facts became known, the
hasty words of censure Were retracted and applied with increased
force to the water company.
Had there been sufficient force to the water, pne residence
could have been easily saved and the conflagration would have
. been extinguished before the other was totally destroyed. The
president of the water company is In our city and only a few days
ago he stated that the company had hundreds of thousands of gal
Ions of water going to waste. From the appearance of the dry
nozzles of the different hose lines, last night, the entire supply
must have been going to waste, for no amount of coaxing could
bring forth a single drop.
Somebody is at fault for the present inadequate water system
and this self same person is responsible for the heavy damage at
the fire of last night. The citizens of Tonopah are compelled to
pay taxes for firo protection. This payment is. demanded without
any discrimination. Now the fire of last night demonstrates the
fact that fish Is made of one and flesh of another. Nor is this
the only occasion where the fire department has been rendered
helpless by the insufficiency of the water supply and was forced
to stand helplessly by and watch dwellings burn like tinder when
even a small amount of water would have extinguished the fire.
We repeat, that somebody is at fault, and are of the opinion
that the fault lies with the water company, to which an exorbitant
rate is paid each month by the town of Tonopah foif the use of
fire hydrants. The future for the citizens who live in the districts
where the water has no pressure does not seem bright. Fires
have occurred in these portions of the town in the past, and thev.
will continue in the future. Some action must be taken that will )
rectify this criminal error or some day wo will be forced to s?o
the entire town go up in flames, and then, God help the water
man.
What are the citizens of Tonopah going to do? Will they bow
down before the water company and continue to pav the excessive
rates as they have done in the past, or will they take action to do
away with what may be termed adamnablo outrage? Will we con
tinue to pay . for fire protection which is not furnished, or will pres
sure be brought to bear on the corporation to make it act in at
least a half decent manner?
There is nothing like striking the iron when it is hot, and if
no favorable results can be obtained, then let the citizens apply
to the courts and ask that the present water company be dissolved,
for' it is now operating without a legal franchise, which is in di
rect violation of the laws of this state.
The citizens of Tonopah now call upon the' county commis
sioners and the district attorney, Cleve linker, to take legal steps,
at once, to force the water company to protect the property owners
of Tonopah.
The taxpayers demand that the officials do their duty, and
at once. If they refuse, oust them from office. The Bonanza will
EACH day have something to say on fire protection, if it is onlv
two lines.
THE CITIZENS OF TONOPAH RECIPROCATE.
TO MR. E. G. WHEELER, PRESIDENT TONOPAH UNITED WA
TER COMPANY:
The citizens of Tonopah appreciate your kind invitation to
visit your company's new pipe-line, and, not wishing to be outdone
in the matter of hospitality, -extend you an invitation to do a little
visiting also.
You are invited to witness the ruins 6f two comfortable
homes that were last night destroyed because your company's wa
ter system was unable to furnish even enough water to wet a
blanket.
, . , You are invited to call upon your customers in the vicinity
of last night's fire and hear from them personally that not a
cupful of water could be obtained from your pipes.
You are further invited to extend that new pipe-line (which
you say is being constructed "in order to maintain efficient fire
protection and absolutely sure water service") to a tank , placed at
an elevation sufficient to make it possible to fight a fire in any
part of Tonopah.
Respectfully yours, !
THE CITIZENS OF TONOPAH.
A QUERY.
Are you good in mathematics If so kindly figure out the an
swer to the following query and mall your reply to the puzzle ed
itor of the Bonanza. This' is not a guessing contest, and no two
bit fee is required. Listen:
if the Tonopah United Water company has a daily capacity
of 800,000 gallons, and the consumption amounts to only 100,000
gallons for the same period of time, where is the reserve stored,
and what Is its pressure? - ,
If it had not been for the school trustees and the boys of the
high school in watching the flying embers from the shingles of the
high school building last night, Tonopah would have been without
a high school building. Mr. Wheeler, just think of this for a moment.
