WATER WORKS coMMIssIoN.

At meeting Of tho board of water
works commissioners today the reports
Of Secretary Dermody and Engineer Peek
were submitted for the year ending De-
cember 81, 1898. II Will observed that the
income is more than double the operating
expenses. md the impression prevails that
1t is more than enough TO pay interest
and sinking fund on the water works
bonds. This Secretary Dermody says. is
mistake While the revenues are graft
flying they are not more than are re-
CURED TO meet expenses and interest.
The report shows the gross increase Of
the company for the year to be $52,1i4.75.
The operating expenses amounted to s2i.-
771.1i.
