WATER COMMITTEE FURNISHES -
AN INTERESTING STATEMENT
Explains Wat Has' Been Accomplished With Acting Mayor
Committee Gives Comprehensive Summary of Conditions
Surrounding the Purchase of the Salem Water Company's'
Plant.
MMtlHHHMMtHMttHMHtMMIIIimitllMlHMl
Below Is glvjon a comploto sum
mary of tho steps taken by the Salom
authorities lntho matter of municipal
ownership of a first-class water sys
tem for tho city of Salom. Tho com
mltteo and tho acting mayor have
worked diligently to bring this matter
boforo tho people, and now submit
what has been dono Tor tho informa
tion of all voters.
The price agreed upon Is not a
haphazard conclusion, but has been
arrived- at by close application on the
part of tho city council committees.
In the first place It was decided as
hotter to arrivo at a prlco by ap
praisemest than by an arbitrary price
from the water company. For this
reason three competent engineers
wore appointed to arrive at tho ex
act value of the existing plant. The
city named J. H. Cunningham, the
water company named R. O. Donald,
and Instead of those two selecting a
third man the governor named State
Engineer J. H. Lewis. These gentle
men aro all known to be competent,
and their mode of procedure was suc'i
as Is adopted by the engineering au
thorities of the country.
First th6y mado a complete inven
tory of tho water company's property,
and Its valuo was arrived at by tak
ing tho cost of each Item and deduct
ing therefrom the exact percentage
of deterioration as shown by Its
actual condition and by the tlmo it
had been In service. This made not
a lump sum, but an exact valuation
of every portion of the plant, based
upon Its present physical condition.
In order to determine tho condition
of the pipes, for instance, examina
tions wero mado by these engineers
at 30 different points In tho city. By
this process the exact status of tho
property was nrrlved at.
Next, on certain dates, the pressure
was gauged at 10 different places,
which gavo exact Information as to
tho capacity of tho pipes and their
service. From these, tests the en
gineers mado their final deductions.
The depreciation totals compiled by
tho ohglneors in nearly every lnstanco
showed a vory material reduction
from tho' original cost.
Next a comploto showing was made
of what it would cost to duplicate
the physical plant, and It 'was found
that this would tako $378,628. To
this was added severat Items such as
a corporation should bo entitled to as
a growing concern. This brought the
total sum arrived at by tho arbitrat
ing engineers to $422,586. This
award was submitted to tho council
and the wholo matter was finally re
ferred to Bpeclal committees. Those
committees labored long and indus
triously to get a better proposition.
Thoy finally succeeding In eliminating
a lump sum of approximately
$48,000, still retatnlng all tho prop
erties except the wator right on the
island, and that they secure for tho
nominal figure of $1 per year. Tn
addition to this item tho company
agrees to eliminate a further sum of
$44,000 on account of tho wator
power, b'ir tho city reserves an option
to take ever this water power at any
tlmo within a period of throe years
at the original price agreed upon. In
the moantlme they pay an annual
rental of $3000 for tho uso of said
power. Tho engineers estimate that
a like power produced by coal would
cost tho city $11,000 por year, Thus
It will be seen that tho special water
committees of tho cquncll havo nof
only hammered the prlco down $48,
000 below the arbitration award, but
have driven a close bargain In the
matter of retaining tho water powor
if needed. Many other points might
be taken into consideration which
have been gained by tho committees;
for instance the real estate values
were made nearly two years ago, and
It is conceded by the best judges that
they havo greatly Increased in that
time.
In order to give a concise Idea of
what the city will get when this plant
is taken over, the following statement
might bo submitted:
Amount to be' paid water company $205,000
Amount to cover maturing C per cent bonds 45,000
Amount to. cover, at cost, all posslblo extensions .and better
ments to water plant from date of appraisement to date of
transfer . . 30,500
Tho city to assume the outstanding 5 per cent bonds, which ma
ture In .eighteen years 80,000
$301,000
On this basis tho city will find Itself with the following annual account:
Receipts.
Present total annual income of plant 55,000
Expenses.
Interest on $3Gl,00u at 5 per cent $ 18,050
Operating expenses and depreciation 19,950 38,000
Annual profit for city , $ 17,000
The chartor amendment makes provisions for expenditures In addition
to tho foregoing as follows:
For purchase of water powor : . . . $44,000
For futuro extensions 75,000
Total $119,000
Should the council deem It to the Interest of tho city to expend
these sums It would Increase tho interest chargo by $119,000
at 5 per cent -. $ 5,950
But would rellove tholty from tho annual rentals on tho wator
power 3,000
Leaving the increase In expense at only $ 2,950
It is ostlmated that tho increased
rovenuo which would bo derived from
tho extensions to be mado by tho ex
penditure of tho' additional $75,000
above provided for, together with tho
additional business to bo secured
after tho now sower system shall
havo been Inaugurated, and that re
sulting from tho gonoral growth of
tho city, which promises to bo groat
er than ever, will nearly double tho
present Income, making this interest
Item appear of small moment.
Voters should remember that sec
tion 9 of this chartor amondmont
docs not provldo for taxing future ex
tensions of mains to tho abutting
property, but it simply authorizes the
council to pass an ordinance for that
purposo if the omorgency ovor arises.
