THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1931 PAGE TWO DALLAS TO VOTE ON PURCHASE OF WATER PLANT EXCLUSIVE NEWS DISPATCHES WILLAMETTE VALLEY NEWS SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT COUNCILMENOF CITY PLEDGED TO SAFEGUARD Dallas Whether or not the city will spend $130,000 in the acqutslt lon of the water system now owned by H. V. Gates, will be decided at a special election September a. Ar guments In favor of the purchase have been published in pamphlet form and are being distributed this week. Based on the 1930 population of 2,975 for rr.llas, it is estimated that the annual earnings of the plant will be S23.388 with operating expenses of $4,480 each year. Figures kept by Gates, and which were used as a basis in fixing the purchase price, have been sworn to and for the past throe years show an average annual revenue of 23, 388 with general expenses of $4,480 and a net of 118,900. In the 3 years operation of the Dallas water plant an increase in Income has been recorded each year and it is estimated that gross re ceiots for this year will be S24.000, indicating a profit of more than 19,000. Serial Dorms to oe retirea from the earnings of the plant will be issued if the bond issue Is ap proved by the voters. The charter amendment, which authorises the purchase of th plant, also provides that alter the plant Is paid for the 8urnlus earnings shall be used for reduction of taxes by transfer to the general city fund. Engineers who have Investigated the Dallas water plant state mat the present condition of the system Is such that no major replacements will be necessary for many years and that the plant Is the most cheaply operated and maintained In the state, showing the greatest earning power upon the Investment. Protection' of the public is pro vided by the amendment which au thorizes a water board of five sub stantial tax-payers and bona fide residents of Dallas, appointed by the mayor and condrmed by the council, serving terms of five years each, no members being permittea to hold a city oldce. It is not the Intention to disturb the present rate schedule of the svstem, the argument continues, ex cept in the case of the rate for ir rigation of lawns and gardens. At present the mains from the source of supply are capable of furnishing much more water man me normal demands of the users. Gates es timates that fully half ot the water entering at the Intakes Is allowed to flow back into the LaCreole be fore reaching the city reservoirs through overflow valves. This, advo cates nolnt out. should permit I more liberal allowance of water for sprinkling and It Is the Intention of the city to adjust this rate on as liberal a basis as possible, encour aging the watering of lawns and gardens and beautifying the city during the sumcr months at a rea sonable cost.
