Users Foot Bill Regardless
Of Ownership; Taxes Seen
As Big Difference
By RALPH CURTIS
With all of the scrupulous ver
acity which has characterized its
fight against municipal ownership,
the Oregon-Washington Water
Service company wound up its
campaign mishandling figures in
an eleventh hour attempt to prove
that city operation of the water
works would result in a deQdt
which would have to be made up
by taxation.
The figures are reasonably ac
curate in themselves, but entirely
misleading because one factor was
purposely Ignored.
The company's advertisements
appearing Thursday said the op
erating revenue in 1929 was $48.-
151.40 and that the city, had it
purchased' the plant, would have
had to pay $60,000 in interest and
$30,00(V on the principal, leaving
a deficit of nearly $24,000.
Saving in Taxes
Entirely Ignored
The Item purposely forgotten
was that of taxes paid by the com
pany in 1929; $23,273.44.- That
item the city would not have had
to pay.
The company's operating rev
enue was $178,800.53, its oper
ating expense according to its own
figures $88,381.22. Subtracting
the expense together with a small
amount of uncollectible water'
bills, leaves $89,524.84. If the
company's 'figures on Interest and
principal to be paid were eorrect,
that would still leave a deficit of
less than $500.
Now the . proposed charter
amendment provides for an Inter
est rate on the city's bonds' wet
la excess of five per cent. The
company's fixed capital ia 1929
was announced as f 1.011,221.28.
Fire per cent el that is $52,114.-
9r -not ' the 4e,ee9 aaggested by
the company.
Interest on Sinking
Fttad Is Neglected
. Neither would the eitr have to
pay 430,000 on the principal' the
urat car. Accoramg to tne enzr-
ter amendment which the voters
will enact or reject today, receipts
above operaUng expense, and in
terest payments are to be plaeed
ia a sinking "fund, which fa turn
will be Invested and draw interest
until such time as they will be
needed to retire bonds.
Compounded earnlnrs of the
sinking fund would be such that
$10,000 placed in the sinking
fund each year would be more
than sufficient to retire the bonds
