From Waterworks Company.
To the People Of Dodge City:


To the People Of Dodge City:
Up to this time we have retained from
giving out or making any published
statement 10 regard 10 the waterwOrks
question in Dodge CIV, bnt after such II
gross misrepresepIati Of the facts as
presented by Mr. Chick to The CONNER
cial club at its meeting February 4th, we
feel that it is our duty to make u state
ment at this time. and In doing so we
will fif0 take up ! is r~port and show
where some of these misreprese ntatioDs
occur. He says: 1--WE have communi-
cations from other ,'lies In X tnsas that
own and operate water and light plant',
aud we are of the opinion from such in
formation that this city should own the
water plant II it is possible to do so. All
cities from which we have information,
and where the plaat Is owned by the city,
the rates seem to be lower aud In nearly
all cases the city saves the expense of fire
hydranIs. >
II Mr. Guek had communications from
other cities. why did not he read them
and give the public the benei of his in
vestigations ia the way OF u comparison
of rates. ETC., as that Is whd lie people
want to know, instead Of reading but two
letters, one .1om Garden City ard one
from lola, In which be- gives 70 informa
ton in tue way Of rates exec, that ~
den City has rare Of l0c per 1000 gal
Ions, aud that never in the history of the
plant had it paid operating expenses un-
iii during the last year.
There are many other expenses con-
nected with water ".llt be>i S that of
Operating. Interest on bonds must be
raised, and sinking fund set aside to
meet these bonds wlen due, aud if the
plant is owned by private parties they
entitled to q just and reasonable rate OF
iuttItst WI thcli lufVepmcut-bot euSn q
rate, either, as we know some Dodge City
money lenders and landlords to ask-'10
per cent and per cent commission, "
The expense OF all betIermer is and deprr-
citation, such as extension Of mains, re-
newal and repair Of mains, replacing of
all worn out machinery, all repairs, etc.
must be raised frpu the revenue of the
plant. Taxes must be paid If the plant
Is owned by private parties, which taxes
are lost TO the county and city if The
plant is owned by the city, and 10 the
case of Dodge City the taxes amount TO
nearly $4C0 on the water plant alone.
In the case Of lola no rates were sub
mitted, and we have not at this time any
data from there in 'egard to rates, but
we have rates from many other cities and
towns In the natural gas belt where their
fuel item amount to practically nothing,
natural gas being furnished at the rate Of
3 cents Ier 1000 feet, and with the ex-
ception Of Paola. all haYe much higher
rate than the present rate 10 Dodge City
The Globe-republican., 1907-02-14

revenue is raised to pay expenses and In
terest on the Investment as named be-
fore.
During the year 1905 the entire revenue
Of the Dodge City waterworks was
$64l6.A The expense of the coal and
oil used by this company was $6436.71 for
the same period. Fully one third of this
amount is chargeable to the water plant
other items. such as salaries, repairs, in
surance, taxes, etc., bring the total cost
OF operating alone up to $500 As. This
leaves $49576 to cover cost of better
ments, depreciation and interest on the
Investment. Since the present manage
ment has been in control of the water
plant 1t has been our aim to give to
Dodge City the best possible service,
neither time nor expense having been
spared to make this service first class. A
great many thousand dollars haye been
expended In replacing and adding to the
machinery of the plant, extending and
lettering the mains, until now even Mr.
Guck cannot help but admit that "the
present management is perhaps as salts
factory, or more SO, than any we have
had for many years."
Mr.. Gluck, as representative from the
Commercial club, has been given every
aid on our part that 1t was possible for
us to give to enable him to make his re.
port to that club. This report was SO
full of petty personal prejudice that the
Commercial club would not adopt 1t, but
retained him as chairman of q commit
tee for further investigation.
