DEAL
POSSIBLE ON
CITY WATER

City Comptroller Robert Farley
last night presented to the city
council the matter of keeping the
revenues from the sale of water in
a fund solely for the use of tht
water system. There has been
transfers to and from the water
funds in the past until it was be-
coming hard to determine how the
people were running in the opera
ton of this public utility. Mr..
Farley believed the water revenues
should again be segregated from
the other moneys of the city and
held for the payment of operating
expenses, principal and interest on
bonds, and for extensions.
The city is now carrying water
extension warrants to the amount
of $4,000, which can gradually be
retired if water revenues are ap-
piled to that end.
Another phase of the question
worth considering is that if the
revenues from the sale of water
are much in excess of the oper-
ating expenses and fixed charges,
the present patrons are being indi-
rectly taxed in higher water rates.
Water extensions in excess of the
amount set aside each year for
that purpose should be provided
for by bond issues instead of by
warrants, as present. The war
rants draw 6 per cent interest,
while bonds could be floated at
to AZ per cent. ,~
