THERE is an aspect of the water question
which has not received much attention yet,
, and that is the rent which would be paid
: by those who would put in water motors in
! place OF engines. Wherever six or eight
, horse power engine is now run, as in the
printing offices, the bakery, etc it would be
a much cheaper to use water motor and the
: change would doubtless be made at once
Furthermore it might stimulate such kinds Of
business as require small power and cannot at
ford to run an engine. We estimate that the
: income from these several sources would be
between $500 and 81, 600 per year.
