She described In detail the
manner la whlcbxthe notorious

Table No. 1 shows graphically the yearly receipts,
the number, of water users and the average yearly
receiptsq^ r customer of your water departmnt since
1911. This is the same table as given in Mr. Ikfalone’s
report.
The table shows that the receipts for this year
will be close to $31,000 and the number o f users, 1518.
It also shows that the average increase in number
of water users since 1911 is 16, and since 1920 the
average number has been 30. If we assume the aver
age water service provides for 4 persons then the
growth of you* city would have been an average of
120 people per year. Mr. Malone in his report gives
the census population at 5936, which is an annual
average growth of 6.5 percent or.275 new people. In
working out a tentative bond schedule and financial
program we have assumed that Ashland w ill have
a conservative normal growth of 30 new water ser
vices per year, or an increase in population of 120
people.

Table No. 3 shows that it is within your reach to
bring in the South Fork Spring providing the cd^t
Will not exceed $700,000. Provision is made for retiring
the present outstanding indebtedness a t $27,000 d a t
ing the first three years, after which retirement of
bonds begins. To do this Will require an average in
crease in rates of 90 petcent. You will note that $357,-
000 will accum ulate'in the depreciation and reserve
fund, much o f which, however, will be expended for
betterments and additions to the distribution sys
tem, and if any such program, some surplus must be
provided to care for the years when the growth may
he less than the average here assumed.
An expenditure o f th is amount would provide a
daily per capita of 400 gallons for a population o f •
15,000 people, and at the assumed rate of growth
>ou would have a population of 10,000 people in
1956 when the bonds would all he retired. However,
if the growth of Ashland should be 5 percent annually,
then a imputation of 10,000 would be reached in 1^37
and 15,000 in 1946, at w hich time the city would well
be able to refinance and secure an additional supply.
Table No. 4 provides for an initial expenditure
o f $527,000, of which $351,000 is to provide storage
of 600 acre feet in the Ashland Canyon which will
provide a daily per capita supply of 400 gallons for a
population of 10,000 people. The same assumption
of growth and increase in rates are here used as in
table No. 3.
The assumed rate of growth shows the population
would be 8500 in 1946, when the bonds would'all be
retired. The table also shows that $420,000 could then
be expended to provide an additional 70 0 .acre feet
whieh amount* would be sufficient for a population
o f 15,000 )>eople, with the same per capita use, these
bonds being all retired in 1956 at whieh.tim e under
the assumed rate of growth the population would he
10,000 people.
The same amount of water supply is provided ’
<or from each of the two sources, .South Fork Spring
and, Ashland Canyon development; tha^ is a daily
per capita use of 400 gallons for a population of
15,000. You w ill note that in each case the bond
retirement is spread over a period of 30 years. The
principle and interest payments in table No. 3 amount
to $1,413,950, and in table No. 4 to $1,415,350. The
total amount available for depreciation, reserve and
betterments is $357,310 .in table No. 3 and $35^,610
in tgble No. 4. It wilj thus be seen that the two
sources are practically on a par financially.
