PROBLEMS
To the citizen of La Grande, by eourt
iy of tha Observer; -A
few fact in regard to tha honrinH
debt of our city for the water system.
in i oaa there was issued by a vote of
tha taxpayers, a bond issue of 120.000
,0-2 year bond for tha purpo of I
""""""a wir eytiam .tor L4,
Grande. In 1892. aftar
and stti mates made, tha taxpayers were
aaked to vote additional bond of $30,000
6 10-20 year bonds which they did,
thu creating a bonded debt of $50,000
BJ bonds. It is now desired to nfnnri
this bonded debt ac a lower rate and the
taxpayer will be given an opportunity to
voU at tha election March 12
bond for refunding the above debt If
rtrunaed at a 6 ; rate it will be a saving
of $600 per year in interest alone.. ;
Our watar system was put m operation
u4 MHtjfMU im4 at an expense of $80,-
000. -
" the past two year there ha been
almott S mile of additional pip laid
in in ubsbrvir or recent data It wa
stated the amount of water consumed by
. .. - ww,,m,vw if j
the citizens connected with the city mains
Uf a.lim.,.J L... it. .
was estimated by the water UDerintend
nt to b abopt 62.000 eallons each 24
hour and suggested thst a teat be made
in order that wt may know (he exact
mount of water consumed aach 24
hour. ,.,
I do Dot think a test made at this tlm
of the year would be a fair reoresentatlon
or give any idea of the correct amount of
watar consumed.
My idea or the correct solution of this
matter 1 to tak into consideration the
annual expense for pumping of the watei
uppiy for on year.
mat . '. .
a tot instance ma cost of tha man
employed to do the pumping only together
With wood and coal in tha year 1905
f ot the city $4389 and this amount doe
not msiud the salary of Mr. Oilman
If wt us only 62.000 gallons per day
th cost per thousand gallon would be a
fraction over 19 cents,
- If wt gse 800,000 gallon per dav tha
cost per thousand gallons would be about
4 cant and this last amount is near tha
amount of water used on an averaoa dnr.
ing the whole year and about what I think
I th average cost
Our pumps hav a tasted capacity of
1,000.000 gallons each 24 hour, an act
ual working capacity of 800,000 gallon
tach 24 hour. The running of th
pump to their capacity of 800,000
would pump Into th reservoir every hour
(3,883 gallons and from these figures
alone any one can tte that th average
consumption of water it nearer 800,000
gallons per eaotl 24 hours than It it 62,
000 gallons ch 84 hour. Some may
ay whtr do I get my figure for total
expense a given. Go to the city record
er's office and the book Will show my
figure r oorrect as to the expense of
running the city pumoe.-
Now a word about the springs that the
taxpayers are ikd to vote $12,000 in
bond to buy and pip to th city. W
pant $700 last year developing these
springs and according to estimates made
by it W. Cummings last summer, they
discharge about 50,000 gallons of water
eacn Z4 hour. If w pipe thi tpring
water to the reservoir and there mix A
with 4 or 6 timet at much of the water
we are now using, what will we have
gained?
The spring water it food w will admit
and w would all like to have It providing
trier was sufficient water to supply the
cuy, oui wnen it would not sudoIv over
one fifth the amount used. I it wis to
spend th taxpayers money to secure it?
I say not i -
If La u rand grows, and we expect
and hope it will, in the next ten year, we
will have to secure a purer water tnnnl.
but let us go at it in earnest and develop
a supply that will be sufficient for our
future need. In my Judgment money ex
pended in developing and piping the Folk
spring to th" city reservoir would be
money wasted.
The railroad company alone uses near
100.000 gallons ech 24 hours.
Thanking th Obsirvir for their inter
est in thi matter and fweourtisie shown
m. I remain. Respectfully, ' ' ' j
