The Water question Again.


The interview with the President of
the Water Company, which appeared
in yesterdays Avalanche, deserves
notice. The reporter represented, in
substance, that it was believed by
many that if the Water Company was
50 inclined, it could supply Missis-
sippi river water, and that failing to
do so, if it would sell on reasonable
terms, a new company could be readily
formed Of citizens with ample money
and enterprise, who would at an early
day give us a change Of water.
The facts disclosed and the spirit of
candOr exhibited in the answers of
President Latham will be commended
by all fair-minded men. He shows
that the total original cost Of tho
works, including thirty-6ve miles of
mains, is about $780, 900, but admits
that, having bought both the old and
new works at greatly less than the first
cost or present value, the cost to the
present company is only about $780,
900, including the additions to ma
chinery, building and eleven miles
OF mains. But after explain
ing the efficiency Of the
new works, and admitting their
a~daptability to taking a supply from
the Mississippi. river, to which the
present inlet pipe can be extended, he
claims that other obstacles exist which
no private company can surmount. He
therefore wholly discredits the opin-
ion Of those who think a company can
be organized for such a purpose.
However, to test it, he presents the
opportunity. While Justly claiming
to be entitled to the profit in their
favorable purchases, he proposes to
name mere than liberal terms to IN
company giving a guarantee to furnish
water from the Mississippi river. The
further opinion is expressed that if
Memphis is ever supplied from the
Mississippi it will be when she is able
to own the works, and that the present
company ought not in justice to be
considered criminal for failing to en-
ter on a scheme which no n else
will undertake.
We have never hesitatcd to criticise
the company whom the interests Of the
public seemed to demand it. The
supply is now sufficient. Tho next
question is tho quality. If Judge
Latham is mistaken in supposing.tSat
no other responsible company would
take the works of his hands at a fair
price, now is the time for the capital
lists to step forward.

The following notice has been
mailed to every water taker, and
should receive careful and prompt
attention:
OFFICE WATER COMPANY,
January LIST, 1882.
SIR:-Water bill st----
street, from January. 1882, to July, is
due. If not paid by January 10th,
water will be turned of, and when
turned on again, one dollar will be
added.
We ask every one to aid US in pre-.
venting waste. Two millions gallons
daily, would be ample for the legiti
mate wants Of the city; and that /,
more than is paid for. though we are
pumping about FIVE millions daily.
One closet for which you pay 800 per
annum, costs $4,000 or more, accord.
ing to pressure, if allowed to run con-
tinually. This is not only an imposi
ton upon the company, but the city
sewers are thereby seriously over
charged. Our inspectors are instructed
to stop the supply wherever found
running, and collect ons dollar before
turning on again. Rates are based on
a reasonable use Of water, and as ours
are much below the average Of other
cities, while the quantity Of water we
pump largely exceeds the average, if
the waste is not greatly reduced, our
rates must be increased. No change
has yet been made. If your bill is
larger than formerly. it is because you
have items not heretofore registered.
If two or more houses are supplied
through one service pipe, the privilege
is reserved Of turning of all SO con.
nected and refunding the money due.
A copy Of our rates and rules has been
mailed to you. If mislaid or not re-
coiyed, one will be furnished on appli-
cation.
