WStl, Tntamlaiit The Reporter for Tiie News axd Herald, having heard something about Winnsboro's having water works and electric lights, sought Intendant Coan, and had the following interview wi'li him: Mr, Coan, I have heard it mentioned on the streets that the town council was discussiug placing a system of water works and electric lights here, crlnf- frnfh is fhr>rr> in (his? "This matter has been discussed on the streets and in different meetings of the town council." Dj you really mean to say that ihe project is seriously considered and that there is a chance ot our having these great conveniences? "Our object at present is to agitate the matter ami ?:ct all of the information possible. We hope la'cr on to rmf e -.?! i toon r nt' fhr> norm! A ill I CUV Ol iiiiiiiuiit. \y x ^ vv ^ . . town as t-> ihe question, and some lime in the summer to have a mass luceiing where it cm bo diseusscd. Tuis will bedoni, of course, before an election is o.'dcred." You will make ti.e?c improvements by taxation asa matter of course? "Yes, then: wiil lwve to be an election, and bonds lioa'cd for the purpose.'* You have talked with a great many about it, have vou n jt ? I - - " - 'les, Willi a tew; wc commenced to talk about it within the last few I days.1' Have you hcsicl much opposition to the scheme? 'Xo.ie whatever, so far/' About what would it cost to put in a good sYi.cm water works? estimate would be guess wnvlr. I h?vi; >o!ni lierurcs showing what it c'St in o:bcr towns, for instance in Yorkviiie, it cost $17,000. The water these is obtained from a branch, the stand pipj is about 128 feet high, and holds from 2o0,000 to 300,000 gallon?, I should thiuk. The principal c )st of oper?ting the Vorkviiic plant is $30 pr:r month for an engineer, $1.2o f.-r wood, and there is some slight expense for keeping the pipes, &c , in repair. We have an idea that the electric light plant and the wa=cr works could bo bnilt for very little more tbau one of llpm would cost. As to the supply cf water we do aot know now whether it would be better to use an artesion well or a branch. A great many of the towns are using the well." Would you have any difficulty, you think, in floating the bonds? "No, 1 do not think so: it seems to us that a six per cent bond could be floated at par for forty or lifty years. Our neighboring towns have done so, j and I do not sec why Winnsboro can not do as well. rVe think further that ! the rental for the water and the lights would pay the operating expense*, and the only increase i:i taxation would be to raise enough revenue to uieet the interest on the bonds. The inCl Ca se in taxation would, again, be to a great rxlent ofT-ot by a reduction in fire insurance. Anderson obtained a reduction of 50 per ccnt alter putting in water works."
