LOOKING FOR HAUPTMANN.
Friends Fear He May Have Been
Victim of Foul Play.

The Salt Lake police have been asked to
look for Emil p. HaUptmann. a Nevada
newspaper man who disappeared from
Los Angeles on Feb. Z. At the time of his
disappearance HauptInann was in charge
of the special Development edition of the
Searchlight News of SearchHght, New. He
went to Los Angeles to solicit adVertis-
ing for the special number On Feb ( he
Los Angeles that he would start back TO
Searchiight on Feb. I. The last that has
ever been seen of him was on Feb. =.
when he was seen in Los Angeles going
| toward the Salt Lake route depot, pre-
sumably to take his train for Searchlight.
Hauptmann was sober and industrious,
and his employers are at a loss to 1c-
count for his disappearance At that time
there was considerable money owing to
him from the paper as commissions on
the advertising he had solicited. He had
none of the papers money. though he had
81. 500 worth of advertising contracts and
other documents valuable only to his en-
plOyers.
A few days ago the body of a dead man
was found beside the tracks at San Ber-
nardino. The description does not tally
exactly with that of Hauptmann. but a
man has been sent from Searchlight to
see il.
Transportation over the Salt Lake
route that had belonged to Hauptmann
was found in Salt Lake and turned over
/ to the ticket agent here. This was sent
I to T. c. Peck. general passenger agent OF
| the road who is assisting in the search
1 for the missing man.
! People who knew Hauptmann believe
[ that he was the victim of foul play. Not
! long ago he sold some real estate in Port
| land for several thousand dollars and he
/ is thought to have carried a considerable
amount of this money with him.
| Hauptmam was 50 years old, had dark
complexion and was of medium stature.
! He said he was a Russian-Swede. He
spoke broken English.

For Public Parks.

The city has at the present time 80
fire hydrants, which have been put in, re-
paired and renewed at a cost charged to
the waterwOrks. of probably not less than
100000.
In all cities having a private ownership
of waterwOrks the city pays an annual
rental for each fire hydrant Butte City
pays $64 per annum; POcatello pays $61 50;
Ogden, $50; eastern cities from $50 to $50.
| think a fair estimate on our hydrants
would be $50 each per annum or about
$4,000 per annum for fire protection. Ger
tainiy this is as just tax against the
property of the city as tax to maintain
our fire department, and that tax alone
would pay the interest on the waterworks

is OPPOSED TO
INCREASED RATES
Councilman Hall Believes Wa
ter Prices Should Be Low
cred Instead of Raised.
WHERE SYSTEM is FAULTY
GIVES FIGURES IN SUPPORT OF
HIS CONTENTION.
WHERE SYSTEM is FAULTY

Councilman L. f. Hall, in commenting
on the proposed increase in the water
rates yesterday produced figures to bear
out his contention that the rates gener-
ally should be lowered instead of raised.
Mr.. Hall said:
| am opposed to raising the water rates
because it would rob the people of the
benefit of city ownership of the water
works. When the people gave up their
right TO the water in the original open
irrisating bitches and consented to its be
ing put in pipes it was promised that the
rates should not exceed actual cost OF
maintenance. and that the property of
the city would bear its proportion of the
cost for the protection it would thus-get
against fire and the benefit Immediately
accruinS to the property in reduction of
insurance and general increase in value
The cost of the first water mains was
paid by a property tax. and all the great
extensions and engagements since have
| been paid for by bonds voted by the peo-
| pie.
But the original plan has been largely
| forgotten, and different city councils. in
greed for more money to spend, have
raised the rates and made the waterworks
a. source of revenue for general city ex-
| pense.
In 1896 the rates had been so increased
| that the net assessment was $50. 446 while
| the cost Of maintenance was only~$2l .5l5. %,
| showing a profit of S64 800. 35. But an ex-
cuse offered for this was need of money
! for water main extensions. That year,
1896 the total cost of all extensions was
| SlS.O66.l2, which left a net revenue of $40
| S64. % to the city towards general city ex-
penses- In following years there was a
| gradual increase of net revenue over cost
| of maintenance and extensions. according
to the report of the superintendent for the
! year 1900:

Special Bond Issues.

Whenever unusual extensions and en-
fragments have been made special bond
issues have been voted to pay for same
as when Parleys creek conduit was built
costing about 100000 Other enlargements
and water rights, s250,G00. The large pipe
for City creek water cost about $50, coo
The big Cottonwood conduit cost about
SI50O00. Total bonds chaTgeable to water
works 81. $50, 900.
Against these bonds the waterwOrks are
entitled to credit, as l have shown, of
$4,000 net revenue contributed to the
city in the past twenty-five years. thus
leaving only about 81. 900 of the bonded
Indebtedness of the city justly charge
able to the waterworks.
Now, the interest on this waterworks
bonded Indebtedness. whatever the exact
amount is. has been paid out of general
funds from city property taxes, and very
justly so, and in harmony with the orig
iEal plan that the property needed the pipe
system for fire protection and other city
purposes. like street sprinkling, flushing.
