Gentlemen: Your committee on program havo asked mo to discuss the public util ities problem before your meeting. This subject is bo broad that It is ainiciilt for mo to determlno what phase of tho subject would bo of tho greatest interest to you. I hnvo, however, tried to procure In formation from vnrlous localities bearing on the cost of service nnd also tho quality of sorvlco furnish ed to determlno bo fnr as I could, by what means tho most ofTlclont sorvlco was obtained at least cost to tho people. This necessitated some resenrch In outside localities where at dlfforent times tho peo plo of different cities had oppor tunity to compnro tho quality nnd the cost of tho sorvlco under muni cipal ownership of public utilities with tho cost nnd quality of Borvlco under privato or corpornto owner ship. To get roltnblo Information on this subject, I folt It was neces sary, or at least worth while, to got Information from cities In var ious parts of tho country outsldo of tho State, as well ns cities within tho state. While tho conditions in various parts of tho stato nro very much different and havo a very consld orablo bearing on tho cost in dif ferent localities, that Ib conditions existing In Sioux City might mnko tho oxpenso of constructing nnd oporntlng n wntor works plant much .greater or much less than tho oxponso 'of building, mnlntnin Ing nnd operating n plant for tho Bnmo quality of sorvlco In Dcs Moines or somo other city within tho stato. 10.00 3 10.20 i 10.CG 1 11.00 J 11.40 i Im.UO ,,, .,, 5 Jf 'J . . . 1 15.C0 1 18.00 i Hates botweon 0.00 and flO.OO nro given to tho nearest 25 cents.

YOUNG PEOPLE should STAItT niOHT and 11UY their FLOUR of courso bo true with roforonco to somo city outsldo of tho stato. Tho olomont which enters Into this problem, to tho greatest oxtont, Is tho cost of producing power uy tho vnrlous necessary ways; prin cipally, wntor. coal and oil, tho two lnttor for fuel, nnd also tho mannor or mothod omployod In procuring wntor and delivering It to tho consumor. I will try to clto you rates charged undor tho various plnns and also undor ench plan and with a combination of two of thorn, which Is sometimes necessary. I tnko It, most of you nro fnmll far with your own rates, therefore I will clto you somo from tho out sldo cltlos, first, for compnrlson. taking tho wator rates. I am go ing to borrow from tho roport of Frank C. Jordan, socretnry of tho Indianapolis Water Company, who hns recontly prepared n tnblo of rntes revised to Novombor, 1910. This tablo Includes tho rates In 249 cltlos whoro a motor rnto Is charged and all sorvlco furnished through motors, nnd 198 cities whoro a flat rato Is charged. Tho following Bchodulo shows tho rntes charged In tho different cities: Tnblo of Meter Rntei. Rnto. Conts Numbor 1-3. -3. por 1000 gnls. 5 4 5 r, 7 7 8 9 9 1-3. 10 Cltlos, 1-3. Thn snmn statement would of 35 conta by 13 cities, botweon nr, mm -iu cuius uy ii cuius, uOlWCOIl 40 nnd 50 cents by 8 cltlos, and CO conts by ono city. It Is booh that tho rates botweon 15 and 25 conts, both Inclusive, scorn to rop rcsont thoso most commonly used, 118 cities being found botweon theso limits, or nlmost ono-hnlf of tho ontlro numbor. Tho tnblo of flnt rntes was com piled, using as n unit a six-room liouso having hot and cold wator nt tho kltchon sink only, Fow rnto cards ngrco ontlrolv on nnv unit nf this kind, but an effort wns mado to rouueo nil to this common bnsls ns nonrly ns could bo Judgod from tho rntos In tho sovornl cities. Twonty-Bovon of tho cities In tho list sold wntor by motor only, nnd 21 otliora did not furnish suf ficient dnta to onnblo n unit of thin kind to bo calculated. Of tho 198 whoso rates for this unit woro glv on by Mr. Jordnn's tnblo, It Is seen that 53 chargo $0.00 for such n houso, tho next bolng tho $5.00 rnto, which Is chargod In 30 cltlos: and tho only other rnto common to moro than 10 cities Is tho $4,00 rnto, found In II cities. Tho rntos botweon $0 nnd $10 contnlnod odd rontfl nnd frnctlons Iu n numbor of ensos, nnd In propnrlng our tnblo from tho ltomlzod tnblo wo hnvo reduced nil rates to the nenrcst 25 cents und groupod thorn according ly. . In tho second tablo about GO por cent of tho cltlos nro found to havo rates botweon $4 and $G, both in clusive. Tho maximum rnto Is nlno times tho minimum. Tlioro Is still a greater variation In tho mo tor rates, tho maximum of theso being 15 times tho minimum. In tho cities whoro motor rntos only nro chnrgod, with no flat rates, tho following rntca aro ench found In ono city only: 10 cents, 10 2-3 cents, 14 cents, 13 cents, 1G 2-3 cents, 19 cents 21 2-3 conts, 22 2-3 cents, 2G cents, 33 conts, 35 conts, 48 cents. Flftcon conts was found In three cltlos, 16 In two cities, 20 in thrco cltlos, 25 in four cltlos. In discussing theso Mr, Jordan stated that ho found that practical ly all cities which havo Installed water filtration plants -during tho past fow years havo found It nec essary to Incrcnso their rates In order to meet tho Increased expen ditures on account of Intorest and depreciation on capital invested and the additional cost of oporatlon. Comparing rates whoro tho wa tor is furnished by a privato com pany with thoso where tho plant Is municipal, wo find tho motor .rates to average 30 cents whoro tho wa tor Ib supplied by prlvnto company, and 20 conts whoro suppllod by municipal plant. In tho flat rates tho averago rato for a alx-room house Is $7.00 por year where sup plied by privato company and $0.05 por year where Bupplled by a mu nicipal plant This would appear to Indicate that water can bo fur nished cheaper by a municipal plant than by a private company: but wo havo several times called attention to tho unreliability of any such comparisons, owing to the fact that a part of tho operating expenses, Blnklng fund or other overhead charges may not bo pro vided for in tho municipal rato: and to tho goneral condition, found in privato as well as municipal tno raie la eoiuom anv Intelligent and 1 scientific calculation, and that In 1 1 4 '.'.'.
