On these bases the annual expen1t-
sure for maintenance has been esti-
mated at $4,000 per year. or Sl3-ss per
horse power. including service and de-
serscrztion, and not including interest
on the investment. With the interest,
the total cost per annuEn fer s.oe0 horse
power delivered ard 400 horse power
available would be ls4 .oe0, or ssl-SS per
horse power per year. The present an
nuai coz per horse power in Seattle Of
the more important companies averages
SIS. exclusive OF interest.
The company believes. on tlais pre-
sumption, that IL could readily rent
e.9o0 horse power here in the city and
without any serious delay once ii gets
started in the work. Its claim to Tecog-
milton is based on the saving thar will
accrue. to eorpurations and manufacture
ers over the use OF steam and the large
outlay they are put to in buying ma
chinery before they go I'd work II is
estimated that rental OF $50 or higher
would be gladly paid by these people
for the new power rather than incur
the expense incident To generation and
appliance of steam. In the smaller
plants in the city it Is estimated the
new power would cost not more than
So to 800 per horse power.
Saving TO the C;y.
The new company exhibit figures to
show wherein the city OF Seattle could
take and use their water az saving
over the present cost. The daily con-
sumption is put at 5000. 900 gallons.
The cost OF pumping from Lake Wash
ington for 1888 was SIT. l66. To deliver
10000. 900 gallons from Swan lake to the
low service reservoir in the city would
require a6-inch wood pipe like that
recommended by Engineer BeneZette
Williams in his plan. and would cost
complete. including right-of-way, etc.
Si46,0 600, estimated.
Two hundred thousand dollars, the.
company claim. will cover margin for
all contingencies. which. at s per cent,
would create interest to the amount of
$4,000. The cost Tor service and depre-
ciation of such a work is put at $4,000.
making an annual expense of 100000.
The conpany's proposition for water
from Swan lake is TO supply it to the
city at the rate OF $1,000 per million gal
saving OF s2.4s3 per million gallons to
the city. or more than % per cent, be-
sides large sum in official and sundry
expenses not taken into account. To
get the water 10 the high service reser-
yoirs for elevations above 800 feet the
company considers the cost would be
only nominal. The present city pipe
lines could be used and the power for
pumping woNid come from the new
electric system the company would IN
augurate. Under such. arrangements
and without additional cost it claims
1t would be able to supply a city of
100000 population, or 10o, 000, 900 gallons
per day. with gross revefsues of $4,000
and net revenues OF $50. eco annually for
this water service alone
After showing the feasibility of the
scheme, the company shows its Geo.
nomic value over present cost 10 cor
pcrations in the tabulated statement OF
expenses OF a number of local concerns,

The City would Aiss ne Supplied with
Pure Mounsain Water ~ Reduced
Cest-Ths Probable Outlay.

"A number Of Seattle business men are
interesting themselves in = proposition
10 develop the water pawer OF Cedar
river az a point aboct - miles frcsn Pho
nees- Place and transmit il 10 the city
by electricity for commercial purposes.
The estimated cost Of the venture Is
about $is5.oeo and such men as III. c.
ffefiry, Maurice AicMicken, George F.
Gund. II. r. Spencer. Ed f. Sweeney.
T.. Fl. Angnidown are said to BE- back
OF H. The estimates have been made for
the development Of 1890 horse power at
the Wheels and at the generator on the
banks or the river, and for the trans
mission OF 900 horse power to this city.
The proposition confsmplates the distri-
button OF the power here for operation
OF street car lines. electric lighting and
all purposes that Ii can he put to, and
1t Is also considered that the city can
take its supply Of water from the com
pany and secure a better supply of
fresh. pure water By gravitation at less
cost than IL pays now. One of the
claims put forward by the company Is
that II could supply Il population of 60
600 people without in1Tsairing its water
power. and at a cost to the city of at
least 25 per cent. less per million gal
Ions than the actual cost OF the present
supply.
vnst Supply of Water.
The volume of water In Cedar river
at the point where 1t is proposed to di-
vert &c is at low stages IN the dry sea-
SON estimated at 1i5,00o, 900 gallons
every twenty-four hours. and at other
times greatly in excess of that. To Sc
cure greater volume during the dry sea-
son II Is proposed to erect dam across
the outlet to Cedar laIs :, which is the
main source OF Cedar river, so as to &C.
cuinuiate' water In the wet season. BY
this means the available supply during
the dry seasons may be maintained or
Increased TO 200, eoe.oeo gallons for each
twenty-fo,Ir hours. Swan lake 1T is also
contemplated TO use la the same way.
Taking the lake and river districts,
including Cedar falls, the company
claims to control not less than 40, o9O
horse power per day. Cedar falls are
about three miles further from the city
than are SnoGualuie falls. The avail
able fall at the former, il is claimed, Is
about 400 feet. while at SnoquaIrnie
falls 1t Is go feet. The company has
secured necessary surveys OF the sew
erai sections and OF the routes by
which the water is to be carried. and
has had 7. A. Noble, hydraulic engi-
neer, prepare an elaborate estimate of
cost, and his report has been reviewed
BY Stixrud & Nastein. who say that his
figures and calculations for the neces-
sary amount of water to develop the re-
CURED powers, size OF pipes and con-
cuits. etc, are correct. They think
that the entire plant can be constructed

Inspection Of Fire Risks.

Nr. Harris the Agent Of the Ssa Fire Insu-

day inspecting the risks held BY his company
in this city.
We have heard considerable complain:
from onr citizens in reference TO the high and
increasing rates Of insurance, despite the
largely increased facilities The city enjoys for
Sighting ere, and which, the citizens were led
to believe, would have the effect of reducing
insurance rates.
Some of our leading business men are
prepared now TO take measures of relief,
which will no, be of advantage to the COM
panies concerned, in that they will not
receive their patronage, 10 the event that the
plans of the citizens shall materialize. We
known of one gentleman whose rate was
raised 10 seven per cent, who has cancelled

himself rather than submit to this exorbitant
rate.

have no doubt that we will have occasion
very soon to refer to itagaiu.

A successful Sumter Boy.

Mr.. Milton Dargan arrived in the city
yesterday from Dallas, Texas. He comes
for the purpose of establishing southern
department of the Lancashire Insurance COM
pany, Manchester, England.
Heretofore its business in the south has
been divided. Mr.. Dargan has hitherto
had the general agency for TWO or three
states, with headquarters at Dallas Texas.
Other agents reported at New Orleans, to
Charleston, and some perhaps to Rich
mond.
The company has decided to make one
including the yirgiuias, Kentucky, Tennessee
and all the southern states to and including
Texas. Mr.. Dargan has been placed in
charge of the southern department, and has
secured elegant quarters in the Equitable
building. This removal will bring at least
twenty-five people to Atlanta, with the Office
force and their families.
The magnitude of the business Of thi >
company can scarcely be estimated. 1t i
one Of the foremost of the companies Of
the world, and has done an immense bus-
ness in the south as we'll as elsewhere. All
the agents 10 the southern territory will in
future report to Atlanta.
Mr.. Dargau will require the use of Eve
Offices in the Equitble building.
After the Lancashire company had de-
termined to establish general southern
headquarters, Mr. Dargan was given the
choice between Atlanta, and New Orleans
and the selection of this city was the result
of summing up i,s advantages with reference
to thrift, future prosperity and climate.
Mr. DarVau is connected with one of the
Oldest families in South Carolina, from,
which state he went to Texas. He is an
elegant, cultured gentleman, and will be q
