The above table should be OF in.
terest to every taxpayer of Tonopah,
since it very conservedly puts before
him the advantage gained in owning
and controlling the sewer system.
These valuations of buildings were
taken as they serve to show, as any
other set of valuations, either high IT
OF lower, would serve to show in the
proportion, the saving to the taxpay-
ers by the public ownership of this
utility and, at the same time, proves
co~nclusively that the issuance Of
$50, 900 of city bonds necessary to
the purchase Of this system would IN
no way work a hardship upon them,
but would, rather, be the means of
reducing the cost to them of a SER
vice that Is not only necessary to the
health and comfort of every citizen
of Tonopah, but n that should, and
would, owing to these reduced rates,
extend to every homo and building "a
the city. Such an extension, at 4
conservative estimate. would mean
over eight hundred (S00) more con-
nections to the system, all of which
the present mains could more than
control, since there would not be
water and refuse eAcugh sent into
these mains TO crowd them If Tono-
pah was four "a times its present
size.
At the adjourned meeting of the
stockholders of the Tonopah Sewer

26, 1908, the following stockholders

From the above 1t can reasonably
be supposed that dating from the
day the city u control, owing
to reduced rates, SO great a number
of applications for sewer service will
be made that within ninety days a
one hundred (100) per cent increase
in the city's gross earnings will be
seen, without any additional items
added to the operating expenses,
with the possible exception of, say,
about fifty $500 dollars for addi-
tional clerk hire; hence we can pro-
coed as follows:
City's earnings per month. $500
Operating expenses. $50
Net earnings per month $3.50
Making a yearly net earning
OF. .$7,Soo
The interest on $4,000 worth of
bonds at z per cent would mean
$500 per year. to which should be
added the interest on the $4,000
worth Of bonds issued by the COM
pany at 6 per cent per annum, or
$3.50, making a total of interest TO
be paid per year Of 1920; this. TAX
en- from the net earnings of $500,
would leave a balance per year Of
$3.50. which in ten years would
amount to $500; and, as 1t is set
forth in another part Of this pro-
posal, that less than one-fourth Of
the property owners are using the
sewer system---an estimate most con-
seFvativc-as there are only one
hundred and n~inety-two patrons, as
shown by the above table, surely an
other increase of Fifty (50) per cent
in the original gross earnings is more
than assured, as this would mean
less than seventy-hve (75) per cent
of ali the buildings In Tonopah.
Based upon a gross earning of $3.50
per month (see table,, an assured
increase OF fifty 500 per cent, as
stated above, would make a further
earning per year Of $2,70o; or, in
ten years, the necessary $27, 900 re-
quired to retire the balance OF the
Company's bonds, leaving as a fund
the above overplus of $500 to meet
any contingency that may arise.
1t might by added that the pre-
posed additional tax OF one "a ps-
cent upon which is figured the saw
ing to taxpayers, will, based upon as.
sessed valuations for 1907, create 4
fund within a far shorter period than
ten (10) years adequate for the r..
demption Of the city's bonds amount.

and above that set forth in the table
to follow.
From all this II can readily o.
seen that by its great earning power
the sewer system under control u
the city can, in the time specified
more than pay for itself without ad.
ditional cost to the taxpayer. and b.
the means of introducing the props

to mention the further reduction IN

A tailor on the Skane plains won ST.
$50 in a Danish lottery. He asked .
friend, a bricklayer, to go with him to
Copenhagen and have nice time.
And how they did enjoy themselves!
One bill of 100 kron0r was changed
after another. The plain folks from
Skane hired rooms in one of the swell
est hotels in town. The tailor dressed
himself like scion Of upper-tendom,
and the bricklayer had to avoid con-
trast by means of a fine suit. One day
the tailor appointed the bricklayer as
his lackey, and the latter opened the
doors and bowed to his master, but
otherwise he kept himself at q re-
spectacle distance. The people at the
hotel soon made up their minds that
"a rich Swedish count" was among
them. Color was lent to this suppose
ton by the fact that hack driver told
that the Swedish gentleman was in the
habit of handing him kronor as tip
while the price Of the service was less
than one krone. One fine day the
funds gave out. A well dressed tailor
and bricklayer wearing a new suit
returned to the Skane plains. Trelle-
borg must serve rs q substitute for
Copenhagen. j.

The wheat fields of Denmark yield
about az bushels to the acre. To show
more plainly what this means it must
be mentioned that the average for the
whole world is 1914, and for the
United States II bushels per acre.
So many persons are out of work
in Copenhagen that the situation is
becoming really serious. A mass
meeting was held for the discussion
of the problem, and a resolution was
passed in favor of having the state
and the city start public works. Even
direct aid from the nation and the city
was demanded. A large number of
people are already suffering. The
authorities and the employers have
commenced to grapple with the diff
fculty.

It has already been mentioned in
these columns that the Norwegians
will not be invited to the Scandinavian
games in Sweden next year. The
Swedish committee on invitations has
explained its course by publishing Ger
tain facts. It is an old rule that
Swedish officers shall not compete
with Norwegian officers in the Morse
races. In the winter of 1905 the Nor
wegians declined the invitation to go
to the games in Sweden because the
people of Norway were 50 depressed
on account of the union conflict. At
the present time, says the committee,
similar feeling prevails in Sweden on
account of the way the Norwegians
broke out Of the union

Fifty years ago there were 100000
tenant farmers in Sweden, and at the
close of the nineteenth century there
were only little over $4,000 left. The
number is constantly decreasing, and
at the present rate this class of farm
ers will pass away in the course OF a
few generations.
There IS great danger that the for.

fore it may be too late.
The production of the Skane coal

A peculiar stencil was noticed in. a
certain part of Stockholm few days
ago, and various explanations were
given. It was almost intolerable at
Brunnsviken, at the mouth of a sewer.
The real explanation came when boy
told that he had emptied a bottle of
mercaptan from chemical laboratory
into the Brunnsviken sewer. Mercap-
TAN emits the most disgusting stencil
known to chemistry.

Svensksund near Narvik, Norway,

Finally he gave signal to stop the
