The Electric Co. Makes q Saving
Proposition.

The City Council held an adjourned
meeting Tuesday evening and took up
several phases Of the water problem.
The Electric Light Co. presented bid to
do the pumping Of the city water at a
figure per thousand gallons which shows
= saving Of about 20 per cent Of the cost
Of last years pumping expense. They
ask to bs allowed to serve the city, not Is
= money making enterprise. but as q
means Of furnishing employment to a day
engineer who could operate the maehin-
cry for day current. They wish to give
the city day current but since the
revenue from It can be only small part
Of the cost Of operating the apparatus,
hey ask this means Of employing the en-
ginesr and machinery so that the loss in
the service may be reduced. It would
seem that . saving such as the figures in
dieate would entitle the matter to careful
consideration.
