1905. The operating expenses and
taxes are stated at $96.64S. The
public already knows how small q
part of this amount Is taxes. This.
leaves net earnings for the year of
$42,045.
But two deductions will be drawn
from these figures today.
The first is that in addition to
paying the $4,000 interest ON the
$500 900 bond issue, this company
without its new plant in operation
is able to pay az per cent divi-
dends on its 100000 of stock. In.
other words, placing a value Of
100000 on both plants, the COM
pany without using the second
plant can pay dividends on q half
million of water.
1t expects to pay bigger dividends
on more water when the new plant
operates.
The second is: The gas COM
pany is earning $42,045 each and
every year and is on the tax duplt,
cate for $5S,950.
II that Is not an outrage on every
tax payer In this county The Press
would like to have that term de-
! tined.
There are many more startling
revelations in this circular which

to time,

the fact that the Cooks Hill stand

question whether he knew the man
who accepted the site without
knowing whether Reeder could give
1t to the city or not. Further on
in the examination as to his quail

stated to Assistant Corporation
Counsel Winston that he did not
know j. T. ONO, l.. B. Handley and

Lawyer E. B. Powell drew out the
fact that the juror did not know

Witte yesterday handed the car
his resignation, and a sensational

tore It to bits and flung it at his
feet and said angriIy: "Are you
such a poor patriot as to desert me

but the count was indispensable un-
til the crisis was over. Witte Is
dissatisfied with his treatment by
