ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one OF
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for one purpose
and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back of

ence manifested in the kidneys, back,

by mistake, attributed to female weak

ated parts of the system, this city with
population of 241, 900 can furnish the
best water in abundant quantities to the
water rate payers for 1886 per servlce
pipe against the present $255 or a re-
duction Of So per cent, and under similar
and metered conditions do the like SER
vice to a population of 4S2, 900 for S54S.
or at reduction of rs per cent from the
present rate. No doubt an incontroverti-
BILE argument in favor of municipal own
ership.
REHABILITATION
The facts will probably be that the
income from the water works will not
only pay all the bonds and their inter-
est. but furnish a surplus that from
year to year could be devoted to the
betterment and extension of the plant
as the city grew, so that at the end the
city would have its water works at an
initial cost of 49, 500, 900.
Each additional inhahitant furnishes
the means of additional assets to the
water works revenue. so that the even
tual increase of population will pro rate
the decrease of water taxes, help to pay
the current expenses and reduce the
water rates.
In view of the fact that additions to
the present pipe system are constantly
demanded in sections of the city not
yet supplied, it is respectfully recon-
mended to your honorable body to or
der such future additions and enlarge
ments henceforth to be made in con-
formity with the plans submitted that
especially all pipes to be added to the
present system be OF such dimensiosn
as to correspond with the sizes outlined
in this betterment plan, and that all
fittings, specials, hydrants, etc, in size

and number should correspond with
these plans.
Furthermore, whether the city ac-
quires the plant OF the present water
works or builds an Independent plant
In either case It win be necessary to
construct the upper headworlSs, the
main conduit leading therefrom. the
new reservoir and power house, as well
as main trunk lines.
Taking into consideration that this
work will require two years for construc-
tion l earnestly urge upon you the ne
cessity of taking immediate steps TO
commence operations. In case the
present works are obtained, they VIII
doyetail into the plans in the manner
heretofore presented; otherwise an IN
dependent system VIII have TO be con-
structed.
Considering the magnitude and i'm
portance of the problem submitted TO
me by your honorable body, | have
deemed it proper even at the risk or
making this report too lengthy, to pre-
sent for your consideration data col
lected from statistics bearing upon the
question of water works so as to enable
you to arrive at proper understanding
of this, one of the most vital questions
which has ever been presented concerns
ing the future growth, welfare and pros
perity of the city of Los Angeles.
Before closing l wish to express my
appreciation of the valuable assistance
rendered me by Ernest Abs Hagen, c.
e., Of this city, in the preparation of the
plans and report.
All OF which is respectfully submitted.

Public Priva

The largest cities of the country have
generally deemed it best to own their
water works sooner or later. OF the
largest cities of the United States all bur
San Francisco and New Orleans own
their water works
Classified by size it is shown that in
cities of $4,000 inhabitants 49 works are
owned by public, "a by private corpora
tions change Of SO works from pri-
vate to public and II works from public
to private have taken place within the
period including 1891, the middle states
leading IN number of changes from pri-
vate to public. In change from public
to private the south central group leads.
From the foregoing review it undoubt-
edly seems that public works gain on
private with the general prosperity OF
the country. In connection with this It
is interesting to know that only 12 of the
so largest cities of the United States are
now supplied wholly by private compa-
nies, with San francisco heading the

w nlcH WOulQ give a total yearly
expense OF ...................,....$2 .$2lO 4eO
One more item would now come under
consideration, that is, to make yearly
provisions for another sinking fund to
replace in about forty years part Of the
deteriorated system by entirely new
pipes, new machinery, etc.
The lease of life of cast-iron on water
works is now subjected to a shorter term
than formerly, eectrolysis caused by
ground wire connection of the electric
power plants situated within the city
limits seems to attack the iron, gradu-
ally turning the same at certain parts
into a spongy mass, and thereby short
ening their life considerably. While
definite statements either one way or
the other, as regards the time of life Of
cast-iron water pipe, ought to be re-
ceived with great caution, still the possi-
bility Of deterioration is transferred to
g probability as far as we know at the
present time from technical standpoint,
and this probability furnishes us with
the new factor in this expense account
A yearly sinking fund of lao to replace
deteroriated parts of the work amounts
to $6f 800 which, added to the former ex
pense OF $2IO, 400, gives q total maximum
yearly expense of $S97. 300 against which
the credit side of the account elbows a
reasonable minimum revenue of $440, 900
permitting at once a reduction of the
present rates per service from $25. so to
$3.50 or about % per cent.
A balance sheet on expenses and rev.
enues for waterworks system of this
description under municipal ownership,
was carefully estimated, the results of
which show that with the expenditure OF

or for the estimated population of 241,-
900 at the rate of 1851 per inhabitant;
or for the estimate required 1919 miles
Of pipe, at the rate of SS969 per mile, or
S1.70 per lineal foot
A comparison Of this estimated cost for
a water supply delivering 51,200000 gall
Ions, through pipe system of 500 miles,
and considering the fact that the water
from the source OF supply is to be con-
Quoted a distance Of 1-3 miles, with the
cost of other waterworks, shows some
very interesting figures
The plan presented calls practically for
a gravity supply, as only 4000,0 600 gallons
that is, M per cent out of a total of
51,200,000 gallons need to be worked by
pumps. The cost estimated shows, in
comparison with the actual cost hereto
fore paid in the United States for like
works, most favorably, as follows:
The cost per tap in the western states
is $401, against 1884 in the rest of the
United States. or an average of 1907 per
tap. The estimated cost per tap of the
projected works for Los Angeles for the
entire system is s25S, and. reduced to
