UNCLE SANS HOT WATER PLANT
Profit Made Every Year from Arkan
sas Hot Springs Reservation.

Profit Made Every Year from Arkan-
sas Hot Springs Reservation.
BY an act Of Congress, passed in
April, 1892. when Arkansas was still a
territory, the Hot Springs. with four
sections of land, were set aside for the
future disposal Of the United States
By the act Of March. 1877, the appoint
ment Of commissioners was authorized
to lay out into town lots and streets
certain tracts of land In Garland Coun-
ty, part Of the Hot Springs reserva-
tion. The levying of a special ta1 on
water taken from the hot springs was
authorized, the money arising from wa
ter rents to be used In improvement Of
the reservation. By the act Of June,
1880, those divisions of the Hot Springs
! reservation known as North Mountain,
| West Mountain. and Sugar Loaf Noun
tain were dedicated to public use as
parks on a permanent reservation, az
gregating 900 acres.
The hot water issues from the base
and side Of the Hot Springs mountain,
and the actual quantity Is not known;
| that which Is under control and being
used to supply the lighthouses amounts
10 about 6O0.0O gallons daily, and the
| amount collected and passed through
the impounding reservoir about $50, 900,
making a total quantity Of hot water
under control of about $4,000 gallons
daily. The hot springs are not under
government control, but are directly
managed by the United States govern
ment, which has an investment In them
in excess Of $500, 900. As shown by the
last published treasury report, the to-
tai receipts from lighthouses and hot
water rent at the hot springs for the
ascal year ended July 1, 1898, was
s1a,171. The disbursements by the su-
perintendent for salaries, fuel, lights,
and water cold were $12,3SS. This
represented a profit to the United
States Of $1,000.
A large number Of the patrons Of the
hot springs are INDECENT persons, who.
unable to pay the ordinary hotel
charges or to avail themselves Of the
paid bathing opportunities, are sup
piled free. There Is, moreover. a free
iispensary under direction of United
States army surgeon. The total num-
Der of patrons Is about 5000 a day.
though the facilities Of the hot springs
allow. as at present arranged, for
5000. The resident population Of Hot
Springs Is about 5000, and the average
number Of persons In town patronizing
the seventy hot-water springs is about
1000 additional.
