Absolutely Necessary.

At the meeting Of the city council last
night the report OF w. Kiersted Of Kansas
City, the expert hydraulic engineer en-
ployed by the city, filed his report embra-
cling the schedule Of water rates on which
he has been working for the last week.
Mr. Kiersted, who was employed to COM
pute the value OF the present water works
plant and estimate the cost Of new one,
was brought back here last Monday to as
sist the special water works committee, Of
which Councilman wallace is chairman,
to arrange a schedule Of water rates to be
incorporated in the proposed new franchise
for the Council Bluffs Water Works COM
pany.
Engineer Kiersted's Report.
The report follows:
have the honor to submit a report on a
schedule Of water rates governing the
charge which the Council Blutfs Water
Works company may make for water ser
vice in this city, and in so doing respect
fully ask your consideration OF draft or
an ordinance herewith enclosed enbody-
ing a schedule OF rates in line with my re-
port Of short time ago.
The company reports, 2S39 fat rate water
consumers LAB metered water consumers.
Assuming all OF these services TO be active
and paying services, then under the pro-
posed schedule Of water rate the estimated
gross income:
For fiat rate consumers.............. .$2s, 1868
For metered consumers. ................. 40,i64
For hydrant rentals at $50 per hydrant
Tor Us MIGRANTS. ........................ l62SO
Total ......................... .$91 112
IL is stated, however, that all services
are not active throughout the year and
therefore the estimated fiat rate income Is
not, and will not be I'm fact, as high as
estimated. The books show a gross income
for 1905 OF fiat rate consumers Of $6,262.
and an income from miscellaneous sources
of S437 1t Is further stated that three hos
pitfalls receive water without compensation
the water delivered to the hospitals under
the proposed schedule of rates Is $llS.
Therefore, If deductions are made accord
ingly from the estimated gross income OF
sol, 1i2, the available gross income would
not then approximate SIS, 256.
A comparison of gross income with valua-
ton computed in line with my report on
valuation, the cost OF operation being n
constant quality In each case, is shown by
the following tabulation:
