At the average rate now pumped daily,
amounting 10 100000 gallons, this
sbould be a sufficient amount TO supply
a population of 100000 people abund-
antlv; and il is safe to say that at least
one-half the amount pumped Is wasted,
and bv this waste persons living IN
higher elevations of the city are deprived
of even the necessary amount oil water.
Twenty-Five thousand three hundred and
three lineal feet Of pipe-mains have been
laid, thiriy-fye fire-hydrants put IN, ana
Cos taps made a number OF
meters have also been set, and parties pay
ing for water by meter measurement eX-
press themselves as pleased with their
use and the equity Of this mode OF charge,
which is also proved by other cities using
meters in large quantities. Tie receipts
for water will reach nearly $4,000; dis
hursements $4,000 OF the expended
amount $4,000 was devoted to pipe ex-
tensions and water taps, for which the
city gets a liberal return. The actual eX-
penses of the department amount 10
about S91 900, which includes the cost OF
putting all the machinery In good condl-
ton. Tho difference between the receipts
and actual expenses of the water-worbs
amount 10 Ss5. coo and exhibit that the
water department Of the city is now pay
ing a fair rate of interostupon the entire
cost OF construction.
