Two years ago the little city o f Cor­
vallis installed a municipal water sys­
tem supplying the town with pure
mountain water at a cost o f $75.t»00.
A report recently filed by the water
commission for the year ending
December 31, 1907, shows that the
revenue from the sale o f water to con
sumers for that year was $10,242.61.
Continuing the report shows a balanee
of earning on hand, after paying all ex
penses, including the annual interest
at 5 per cent on $75,000 outstanding
bonds, o f *3,949.98. During the year,
there has also-been paid out from th<
earnings o f the plant *1000 a nart of
the purchase price o f the privately-
owned system that was in operation
before tne municipal system was in
stalled.
The city mountain-water system has
been in operation a little more than two
years, but has already demonstrated
itself to be a marked financial success.
To the installation o f the mountain
water system is attributed a part of
the explanation o f Corvallis, vigorous
growth, which resulted in the addition
of more than 8 per cent in 1907 and
nearly 13 per cent during 1906, to the
number oi homes in the city.
