Tho success of a municipal water works Is further attested by a lettor which Chas. I. Rolgard has received from Louis B. Fonner, chairman of the waterworks board at Owatonnn. Minn., where Mr. Rolgard formerly resided. Owntonna Is a city of about 7,000 population. Tho letter which Is in answer to some questions Mr. Reigard had written him 1b as fol lows: "I am in receipt of your favor of tho fifth Inst, nnd hasten to reply, Tho writer considers It a prlvllcgo to bo of service to ono who has nt all times stood so high In tho estima tion of his fellow cltlzetiH In this city and whoso most earnest wish nt all times was tho welfare of thoso pooplo whoso appreciation wns bo well evi denced In their bestowal of tho high est olllco in their gift, tho position of mnyor. Tho ninny years of Borvico that tho writer Jiub givon to this cltyj nnd tho thirteen yonrs of that tlmoj thnt ho hns been chairman of tho waterworks hoard put hi in In a posi tion to nppreclato your very keen In terest In tho matter, and It Is, there fore, with a great deal of pleasure that tho writer presents these fnctB for your ubo nnd bonollt. Itegnrdlng tho question of munici pal ownership, tho writer hns til ways folt that this wns tho idonl way to conduct n business which concerns every Inhabitant of a municipality, nnd Its success In Owntonna certainly has Leon most satisfactory. Our wntorworks system wns Inuugurntod twonty-ono years ago, and consisted of power houso, Btnndplpo, ono direct englno nnd about four miles of water mains, and ono woll 450 feet deep, nnd nt that tlmo tho city voted bonds In tho sum of $30,000 to finance tho project. Slnco thnt tlmo wo havo, out of tho profits of our wntorworks system, laid nnd paid for olovon miles of water mains, making a total of flfteon mlleB nt tho present time, thoro being todny 940 wator con sumers; about olovon yonrs ago wo Installed two rcsorvolrs nnd four flowing wolls 92 feot deep, Howlng Into tho two reservoirs 22 feot In diameter and 28 feot deop, tho wntor rising In tho rcsorvolrs from tho (lowing of tho wolls to within alxtcon feot of surface level. I ennnot say what tho power houso cost, as thU was Included In tho orlglnnl contract of $30,000. Eighteen yonrs ngo wo Installed a direct nctlng pump nt a cost of $2,300, n Smlth-Vnllo, with n capnclty of 1,000,000 gallons. Tho main plpo lending from tho plant to tho stand plpo Is ton Inch, tho branch innlns nvorngo from 0 to 8 Inch, laid nt n dopth of soven feet. Tho stand plpo is 100 feet high and IB feot In diameter, with a capacity of 132,000 gallons. Two englneors, oach cover ing n shift of 12 hours, run tho plant and tho city clork, as you know, col-1 lects tho rents, thoso being nil the mon required .to run tho plant. In formation rognrdlng oxpenBOS, otc., you can got from our 1911 statement, page 7, which I nm enclosing, etc., sopnrato cover; you will also find clerk's mutual statomont thoroln. Ahovo tho profits shown on pngo 7, you will noto on pngo 23 that tho city gots without cost all wntor for city buildings, for drinking fountains, horso fountains, etc., nnd 105 flro hydrnntB for which prlvato corpora tions chnrgo from $00 to $75 and ns high as $80 for onch. Tho schedule on pngo 23 has tnoroly boon mndo up In order that tho patrons may under stand fully what benefits thoy derive from tho plant, and, nt that, these hydrants nro ontered at only $50, nnd have not been reckoned In arriv ing nt tho profit. Our city does not pay ono cont of tax on account of our wator system not ona penny Is included In tho lovy, all oxponso be ing paid out of the proceods of tho plant. Wo nro now starting to pay $3,000 and nil interest on the bonded Indebtedness each year, so you can understand thnt our water works plant has been a very success, ful ontorprlso; this wo hnvo not done earlier because we' havo been extend ing and enlarging tho plant, which Is, today, worth from $120,000 to $125,000. While wo havo some mo tors, wo havo for tho most part on fiat rates, charging $5 per year for domestic use, $3 for water closet, $3 for bath, $1 for each head of stock, $3 for sprinkling a 00-foot by 132-foot lot, and approximately tho snme rates for mercantile pur poses.

Educntlon holds a largo place In tin minds of American cttttzens, in fact, schools and menns of education aro considered fundamental to tho, free Institutions of our nation.

It prepares Its graduates to en ter tho freshman class of any college on tho Pacific const without examina tion. 3.
