11 TITE MORNING OREGONIAN. 3IOXDAY, MAT 24. 1915. ITERS LIABLE TO RAISE WATER RATE Mr. Daly's Assertion That Service Can Be Provided More Cheaply Disproved. OWN FIGURES TELL TALE MARYLAND'S GOVERNOR WHO IS GUEST IN THE CITY AND SOME OF OREGON DELEGATION WHO WELCOMED HIM. Largest I'art of Bureau Kxpcndi turcs Is Fixed tso Change of System Would Have Xo Ef fect Added Cost Is Shown. SOMK FACTS ABOUT METERS. Fixed, unavoidable charges are the biggest part of the annual Water Bureau costs. These charges and all the costs of op eration would have to be met either with or without a city wide meter system. Where, then, is it possible to reduce rates? Water revenue, under present system, amounts to about $750, 000 a year. Most sanguine esti mates of meter proponents is that meters might save J10.000 a year in operation. That amount would be far insufficient to make rate reduction possible. Added to present fixed charge of Water Bureau operation will be cost of 43,000 meters amount ing to $352,000. Average annual cost of meter system would bo $100,000. How would it be pos sible to avoid increasing rates? Ridiculous in the extreme is the argu ment being used by proponents of the l"aly city-wide water meter scheme that with meters water rates may be re duced. Water bureau records show con clusively that there would be no pos sible way of reducing rates. The bu reau would do well to avert an increase in rates. Here is how the proposition lines up: The water bureau has certain fixed charges. These include the payment each year of Interest on bonds and the setting aside each year of funds for the redemption of bonds. These bonds are outstanding now and these items can not be escaped. Then, there is the cost of operating the water bureau. Using the most sanguine estimates of Com missioner Daly about the reductions possible In water forces the difference in office expenses would not aggregate more than $10,000. Every appearance Is that this much would have to be added rather than deducted from the expense roll. Kutlmated Snvlnc Inconsiderable, The Importance of an item of $10,000 In the big proposition of Portland water rentals is seen in the fact that the revenue from water users amounts to about $750,000 a year. An Item of $10, 000 a year, even if that much could be aved in operation, would make no ren tal reduction possible. To be added to the regular operating expense of the water bureau would be the cost of installing meters and repair ing them. The initial cost of installing the 43.000 meters proposed would be $253,000. Using Commissioner Daly's own iigures of costs the city-wide meter scheme involves an annual outlay of $100,000 a year. This would be added to the present cost of operation. The question is. being asked. How is there eny possibility of lower water rates with meters? Another question asked is. How can an Increase in rates be avoided in the face of the added burden of buying and installing water meters? Where is the money to come from? It requires so much money to operate the water bureau. Sufficient money Is taken In from water users to meet this cost. The cost will be there just the tame whether the service is metered or not. The city-wide meter proposition means that the water users as a whole will pay more for less water. If the reve nues fall below what they are at pres ent rates must be increased, because it takes all the present revenue to operate the water bureau. Water rates cannot be reduced without the reduction of the total expenditures. The water bureau cannot be operated with any less reve nue. Where, then, is the ground for the argument that meters will reduce rates is the question to which the public demands an answer. BRITISH-BORN TO MEET n.AVS COMF1. KTE FOR EMPIRE DAY CELEBRATION.
