The silly contention that the city "woiild be coi'ipellVd «o huy (lip whole of the company's water system if this agreement is not rmilied,' and,that -30%, would have to he added lo (he price, might be answered hy -saying that if so, the city would (hen be in a position io sell the Coal Co.'water for the'coke ovens ■ at its own price. We believe Mr. Lindsey lias business sagacity enough to prevent such.a condition arising; and the city ol Fernio will never be allowed .a diance tOjbuy or'control in any way the waler supply for the coke oveiib.v; The inventor' of this scare-ctow must be a scare-crow of colossal, proportions himself, but according to the best legal opinions there is no- way by which, the.-, company can force a sale of their plant rfpon the city unless they lirst. get- some kind * of an agreement with'.the city, hence the one now; before" (he people.// Let - us -i-o carefully over ihis'proposed agreement once more.

Last Jun« lhe city aslied him if his company would sell their plant to the city, and if so at what price. His answer was that they, did not wish to sell, livery move that has been since made hy the company has rendered it more difficult for the city to purchase the plant if it is so desired and we as a city are today compelled to tight for our civic rights against a- company, some of the pretended friends of which have said would use all the coersive power possible to force upon us an agreement which as a city we do not want. No intelligent-citizen of Fernie desires to oppose either the; Coal Co. or the 'PowerCo, in any undertaking which is exclusively within their own rijrhts or which does not conflict with thc. interests and rights of the city, and we, fail to (See in what way tho citizens have deserved to be called unreasonable or unfaii; in making a stand for rights to which llioy are fairly entitled umler the law au. the agreement entered into at the time of incorporation. The silly twaddle ii* diilged in by some newly-van verted friends of the Coal Co. to the'effect that tin officers of that institution would do unwarrantable things to the city if tin. were opposed in the water agreement, reflects very little credit upon the intelli geiice of the authors nr a very low estimite upon their pan, of the intelligeiiii- of Ihe average Feruie citizen. These oppoueets of the proposition now before th people aro acting clearly within their right* of citizenship, and we mistake vpi much theirtompcr if they do not resent any insinuations from whatever sourc- that hears the least semblance of athreat. No one ueed fear for quo inorueni that the Power Co. or the Coal Co. nre going to be so short-sighted ah to met out vengeance upon the citizens of Fernie liccaus.i they differ fiom thorn upon - matter of business which'so vitally concerns tho Municipality. v ~" in closing this article we wish to note lhat someone has been prompted by over much zeal to slate that D., V, Mott is a champion of municipal ownershif when it suited his ■convenience but a monopolist when his own interest- was ii the way. "' ; ' ■ . Whether this be true or not it'can iiave no bearing upon the question now be fore the people, but it so luippens that Mr. Mott w.is about the only man at tin public meeting between the board of trade, and the r4.'presentative of the Powei company when the basis of lhe agreement betweun the parlies, for iiicorporjitioi was laid, who slated, that wnile he thought jliat municipal ownership of lln- waler system would he right at some-time, yet he would favor arranging wilh the company for the supply of water'until the ci'ty. was'in a hj'.ier position to install a plant, provided a mutually satisfactory agreement, could be 111.iJe.' N'» satisfactory proposition has ever been submitted to lhe people and rather than favor the present proposition, the editor of Tin-: Ledger will continue to "work for and advocate municipal 'ownership of the waler system instead, but if the Power company will submit a proposition in w hich they agree to supply, water at the rates Hint are .al least no higher than tlie rales in other places, and also agree to allow the city the exclusive right at the end of our agreed term of years to;put in and operate its own system without, opposition from lliem there would be a proposition with two sides to it and it is quite likely-, lhat many people that oppose the present jug handled arrangement would support it even though' Mott miglu'coiitinue to be obstreperous.' This zealous person also desires to convey the idea that Mr, Molt is also favoring municipal ownership of lhe telephone system hut he will have a hard lime finding that man's name on, a petition asking the city dads to go into the telephone business or to cite a single individual who has ever heard him say he was in favor of such .t proposition. We would feel like asking pardon of our readers fortaking'up time in personal explanations, were it not for the fact thai'these statements are hinged upon an absolute falsehood which if not denied might, as it is eviJenlly designed to do, prejudice some unthinking person whom it is desired loreach through personal .feeling, against lhe real interests ofthe cily. Such Uicticsare always employed by people who are short 011 real arguments and have a' very low estimate of the intelligence and motives which'actuate the people to whom they lalk iir write. BIGGER.

Title | The Fernie Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : D. V. Mott and G. G. Meikle |
Date Issued | 1905-10-25 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
