HILLS WATER WORKS REPORT.

The Journal believes that the city should
own the plant which furnishes the water
supply for the same reason that it should
own its fire apparatus 1t holds that the
question of purchase should not be consid-
cred from partisan point of view. If
Mayor Taggart should obtain a favorable
offer for water plant which will supply
the city with an abundance of good water,
all good citizens should favor the purchase.
The mayor has received a proposition
from the company owning the indianapolis
water works. He has had the property ex-
amined by an expert, and his report has
got into the papers. People have read it
with interest. 1t contains valuable infer
nation. The expert makes the plant worth
s1,9OC,0Oo, while the price put upon it by the
officers of the company is $35O0,0O0. That
amount of money is not to be paid down,
but in the course of twenty-five years that
will be the amount paid for the plant
Mr.. Hill, it is said. makes no recommen-
dalton. 1t could scarcely be asked of him
that he should do so. When, however, he
estimates the plant to be worth $1,000, 900,
and the price asked is $3.5OO,UOO, he fur
nishes the facts from which each person
can make his own deduction. That deduc-
ton must be that the amount asked is too
much to pay for the property unless there
are holdings which have a greater pros
pective value, which can scarcely be the
case. The value of the property is doubt
less the amount of money it would take to
construct similar works to-day The valua-
ton is made upon the same basis as that of
the plant of the street-railway should be
made when the time may come to have an
appraisal namely-the amount of money
for which the works could be duplicated.
less the amount of deterioration.
There is one thing that the city should be
assured of before purchase is made, and
that is that the supply of water from wells
which tap rivers beneath the surface is re-
liable and adequate to the future needs of
the city. Mr.. Hill is of opinion that with
more wells it would be. Unless biologists
or other scientists who have made study
of the subteIranear streams can give as
surance of an abundance of potable water
for the supply of the city as it grows, pur-
chase would be a somewhat doubtful VEN
ture.
The charter of the water company pro-
vides that when the city desires to pur-
chase the value of the plant shall be APP
praised by commission. Such being the
case, the failure of the present plan for
purchase by no means puts city ownership
out of the question. Certainly the present
showing by the report. as it has been print
ed in the newspapers, does not warrant the
purchase Of the property upon the terms
proposed.

M'INTYRE'S ALLEGATIONS
THE CHAPLAIN'S CHARGES AGAINST
OFFICERS OF THE NAVY.
His Complaint that He Had Not Been
ing Trial Promptly Answered.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The attention
of Judge Advocate General Lemly being di-
rected to the complaint of Chaplain McIn-
tyre that he had not been informed of the
charges on which he is to be tried by court
martial at Denver on the 18th inst, the
officer very promptly furnished the papers
in the case for publication. The chaplain is
to be tried upon three charges, all growing
out of a lecture delivered by him in the
Trinity Episcopal Church, Denver, Col. on
Aug. s, last referring to the battle of July
3. The first charge is ''scandalous conduct
tending to- the destruction of good morals :"
There are three specifications under this
charge, in brief, that he referred to Admiral
Sampson as reporting himself within four
miles of the Colon when she struck her
colors in order to get his share of prize
money; second, he charged that on the
chase after the Colon the Oregon met the
iowa going to the rear and that Fighting
Bob took the Iowa to the rear and kept
her there during the battle;" third, that
Eastern made ships failed to come up to
expectations because the builders received
their orders through political pull, and
they did not care how much they cheated
the government The second charge is
conduct to the prejudice of good order and
discipline" 1t recites the three specitica-
lions of the first charge, with an additional
one based on the chaplain's PUBLIC and
contemptuous reference to Captain Evans
as Fighting Bob The third charge is
conduct unbecOming an officer of the
army" and recites the same specifications.
