NOME, ALASKA, JULY 22, 1913.
While the present Snake River
bridge Is as glaring an example of
municipal blindness as one can well
expect to see in this neck of the woods,
at the same time we can derive some
consolation, while viewing that utter
ly and wholly Incomprehensible
structure, by the thought that we are
not alone In possessing a sample of
municipal stupidity. Hungllng as has
been the management that inflicted
this costly oddity on the community, it
appears that all three of the principal
coast cities, Seattle, San Francisco and
I-os Angeles, are also In the same
plight In regard to civic Improvements
that were enormously costly and did
not Improve where improvement was
intended. Seattle, It appears, ex
pended hundreds of thousands of dol
lars In building a dam for the Im
pounding of water for the uses of the
city only, to discover, when it was too
late to rectify the absurd mistake, that
while it was a most excellent dam
from the point of view of the engineers, j
at the same time it would not hold
water because of having been located
In what is termed "a natural selve."
While the dam will hold a portion of
the water impounded, the supply so
secured is hardly more than adequate
for the present uses and the problem o*
supplying water in sufficient quantity
to meet the needs of future years is no
nearer solved than before Its erction,
and the dam which was expected to be
adequate for the water needs of many
generations yet to come will be prac
tically useless In a few years. Yet,
withal, this example of municipal ab
erration is hardly equal to the case of
civic light-headedness developed by
I-os Angeles, which city has expended
an enormous sum in the construction
of a water system which it cannot use!
at all at the present time and possibly
not for many years to come. It ap
pears that the city had a useable water
system hut desired to provide for thej
future needs of its population andji
therefore proceeded to expend the sunt'
of $25,000,000 In the construction of a
system of aqueducts for carrying
water from a point two hundred and
fifty miles away. The system was!
commenced in 1907 and did not reach!
completion until 1918 at which time
it was discovered that the water could
not be used as there was more than
sufficient for the needs of the elty in
the supply furnished by the old sys
tem. At the start it bad been contem
plated to sell the surplus water from
the new system for irrigation purposes
hut on completion it was found that
such disposal was not feasible. The
present situation is that the city has
a most modern water system that is
of absolutely no use to the municipality
and during the interval before the
population will grow to the point that
the new water supply will be needed,
the city is compelled to pay a tax
amounting to $4,000 per day in taking
care of bond Interest and sinking
funds. San Francisco also lias been
the victim of one of these unexplain
able instances of municipal stupidity |
and strangely enough it is also in con
nection with the development of a
water system. It has reached out over
one hundred and fifty miles to the
Hetchy Ketchy Valley for a supply of,
water for future use and finds, upon
bringing the water to the confines of
the city, that it cannot lie used owing
to the fact that a private concern owns
the city distributing system and as thej
voters failed to endorse the purchase
of the existing system the water from j
the municipal system ennnot lie dls-i
tributed. In both cases the municipali
ties have acquired an immense amount
of water at a tremendous cost and can
not make use of it.
As is indicated in the case of the
Nome bridge it appears that the di
rectors of municipal activities are more
or less prone to proceed to the task
of instituting civic improvements with
no other thought beyond the expendi
ture of the municipal funds and ap
parently are content to go ahead on
the statement of someone that such
improvement as may be contemplated
will be fully equal to the desired pur
pose and the frequent waste of the
people’s money in this manner through
the neglect of municipal officers
throughout the land imposes a burden
on the tax payers that is not only dif
ficult to meet but is also glaringly re
prehensible because of the lark of or
dinary business foresight.
