Horse Serum and Horse Sense.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

THE WATER FUND.

1t is an evidence of business abil-
ity, and in fact business prosperity
and continuance demands, that ex-
penditures be kept within receipts.
If Pullman ever expects to be freed
of the debt that today weighs it
down it must practice the most
rigid economy, and the only way
in which that economy can be prac-
ticed is by and through the efforts
Of the council, the official head and
representative Of the city.
How we'll our council is manag-
ing the municipal affairs can be
understood by the manner in which
it has involved the water fund,
which for long time had been the
only fund containing available cash.
OF the revenue derived each
month from the water system one
half must be laid aside as a sink
ink fund with which to pay off the
Indebtedness of the water works
station. From the remaining half
the running expenses of the plant
must be met, and the larger the
surplus the better.
The present income from water
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1896-04-11

little over eight tons per month.
Coal is now being purchased by the
city at $6.15 per ton, therefore
monthly expense of 500 accounts
for over IA tons. Thus under the
present management it requires IA
tons of coal to do one-half the work
that Mr.. Gender did with eight tons.
Coal was not used altogether in
either case, but the ratio was about
equal. Thus measuring each mans
ability by the work he has accom-
plished, Mr.. Gender would furnish
the city the water it now uses at a
fuel expense of about one-half that
of Mr. Borland's.
Another item that under the
present management is growing to
alarming proportions is the ex-
pense for repairs and incidentals.
Under the four months that Mr.,
Borland has had charge this item
has reached $126.58, or $31.64
monthly The corresponding four
of last year, under Mr.,
Gender, showed an expense Of $28,-
25, a monthly item Of $3.50 And
the difference between these figures
is made greater when it is remem
bered that the city uses less water
at present, and the revenue
was never lower. AS the revenue
has decreased the expense has in
creased in inverse ratio.
And 5000 is a very moderate es-
innate to place upon the expense
OF repairing the pump and well, a
portion of the damage, at least, be-
ing blamable to mismanagement.
But aside from this, which may
have been unavoidable, the fact
stands out in bold relief that the
council is not operating the city
water plant with the economy
which the past proves it possible.
If the present engineer can not OPP
crate it with that economy, then it
is the duty of the council to find
some one who can. We do not
wish to infer that we advocate the
immediate reinstatement of Mr..
Gender as the only remedy, for al
-hough he has proven that he is an
engineer of ability, and can keep
he expense at the lowest possible
notch, the best interests of all con-
,erned would doubtless be con-
served by the employment of some
one against whom no issue has been
raised. The responsibility for the
proper conduct Of the water works
rests wholly with the council; the
,ity records present facts which
must be accepted without prejudice,
and the council should throw aside
is prejudice and labor for the
economy which it preached before
election.
