not compare the investments on the
same basis as to the interest clause
and taxes, the money consideration is
the same. This is the very point In
question. This plant is operated all
most on a cost basis. Allowing a de-
duetion for these amounts and a lib
eral discount fol- cash payment to the
consumer, and the per cent of profit
might change, but not of such proper
lions as to make the per cent in the
other column feel worried.
We find by this table that the COM
pany must recover ten and one-half
cents per thousand gallons from the
consumer, while the municipal plant,
with cost of operation less than one
half, must return AN average Of less
than four and one-half cents per
thousand gallons. The cost Of our
pumping has been figured regularly
for years and we hold that five cents
will cover this item nicely.
These figures are based on company
arguments. Allowing for depreciation.

and no company could pay dividends to
its stock holders and not consider these
items of vital Importance in the man
agement. The city does not charge
interest on the investment, or rather
we do not charge ourselves with in
terest on our own money.
We figure depreciation and renewal
at ] per cent. This is ample, as will
be shown by the condition of our

deterioration whatever. We were
