IWSSSWRi nggsjQ!hf& H CITY PROFITS By v Pennsylvania Plants Helps to Pay for Other Depart ments Also. Editor Coob Day Times: I notlco In your Issues of this woclc that you havo had qulto a lot to say regarding tlio water sit uation lu Marshflold, and argu inontn for a municipal water plant. I havo also 'heard qulto somo dis cussion regarding tlio rolatlvo mer its of a municipal plant and a prl-vato-owncd systom around tho dlf foront places In town, tho cigar stores, hotols and other business houses, and sonio of tho theories advanced on tho part of tlioso who havo had no real experionco with any other than a private-owned sys tem woro utnuslng. Tho fact that mado It so amusing is that I for merly resided In nn eastern city, Ilrndford, Pa., whoro tho water works system wan owned by the municipality, and tho experience thoro makes mo a booster, long and loud -for tho plant that Is owned by tho people. Perhaps a fow of tho conditions existing thoro would bo of IntorcBt to you and If you bo think, to your renders. FIrBt, tho plant was purchased from a prlvato corporation, and nt a flguro that wob thought to bo ruinous, and, as was said by May er Ford In Sioux Cfty In tho arti cle of laBt ovonlng, called down tho wrath of tho prlvato-ownorshlp "gnng" on tho heads of thoso who had tho tomorlty to broach tho subject of buying nnd running a waterworks. Tho prlco paid (though It was a largo ono,) I cannot exactly state, and for which tho city issued bonds to pay for. Hut whllu tho bonds woro Issued to pay for tho plant, and tho city guaranteed thorn, no additional tnv levy was provided to rulxo the money, which was one of tho beNt things about It nil. Tho oarulngB of tho waterworks under tho careful management of a commission, soon cut tho prlco of water, nnd tho Incomo from tho wntorworkn cared for tho bonds, enabled tho commission to buy ad ditional land ns n wntorflhod, con- struct now rosorvolrH, lay now mains bo that every part of tho city wad provided for, and nbovo nil, Hiipply water which was puro. This Is not all, the bonds wore retired hoforo thoy became duo, tho prlco of wator to tlio consumer wafl cut again, and still tho In comn of tho water fund was so far ahead of tho other fundB for city use, provided by taxation, thnt when n shortago occurred In any of thorn It became tho practlsa to "borrow" tho money from tho wa ter fund, nnd then forgot to pay It buck. At tho prosont- time, tho city lm tho flnost wator that Is to bo obtatuod anywhero, an ex ceptional syatom of hydrants for flro protection with a gravity proB Buro of ovor 100 pounds to the flouaro Inch, and no part of the city, Ib left unprotected, and n flro department which Is kept up by the water department, and other de partments of the municipality bon out directly from tho monoy that tho wator dopartmout makes, and at tho uamo time tho consumer Is paying leas than ever for tho use of wator. Tho prlco, of courso, varioB, but tho nverngo houuohold pays from $0 to $1) for it water. This lu not monthly, or quarterly, but by tho year. And It seoms to mo thnt tho oxporloneo of this city Ib oiio thai might easily be enjoyed by any city. It Ib only necessary to havo tho pooplo make up tholr minds that thoy want It, nnd tho wny to get It Is easy. Tho system will be self-supporting from the start, mid tho Income from it will euro for tho bonds ns thoy come due, nnd last but not least, If good wator is needed, it will bo the fault of tho pooplo themselves that they don't havo it, for now oilkora cau bo placed lu charge of tho dopnrtmont if tho ones thoro do not "dollver tho goods," while at preBont If you don't like the water, what are you going to do about It? 1 havo aeut to tho ofllclals at Dradford for n copy of their an nual roport In which la included that for tho waterworks, and upon Its arrival will turn tho Bamo over to you, nB tho figures therein given will ho conclusive evidence of the fact that tho only kind of a wator Kystent for n city Is the ono that the city Itself owns.
