OAKLAND. June 29-At nearly every
meeting Ct the Board Of Works and the
City Council one. Two or more bills are
ordered paid for gas. water or electricity
for some branch If the city government.
These bills are all paid out of various
funds. there being no such thing as
water fund or a lighting fund, although
there is a street lighting fund.
Occasionally large hills, such bills for
street sprinkling or hydrarts. attract gen
eral attention. At this time especially is
this the case, when the city Council has
undertaken to examine into the possibility
of obtaining a water supply for Oakland,
Little attention. however. is ever given
to the multiplicity of water and gas bills
paid by the city for the numerous institu-
tons which it maintains These bills IN
the aggregate form an immense item Of
expenditure, though few people ever Civ
a thought to their existence. owing to
their being hidden away in the various
funds.
Breed The Call has gone through every
fund in the city government showing the
detailed expenditures for gas and water
for the fiscal year ending to morrow. The

Owing to the deficit in the fiscal year
the Gas Company deducted 5000 from it's

warm commendation of the whole city.
It is included in the list because it legiti-
mately belongs to the cost of street light

the other amounts are for eleven months
of the fiscal year that closes tomorrow.
