from the operation of the water works

of the plant.
Mr. Brown stated hast night 10 \

earnings would have been much larger
than $500, but for the expenditufe
of about $4,000 in improvements. Mr..
Brown estimates that the city will
net not less than $4,000 for first yer
of its ownership of the property, IN
addition to giving the city a much
better service and afforiing much
better fire protection, especially TO
those residing in the suburbs.
Many Improvements.

have come out OF the earnings of the
plant, new boilers being purchased
during the quarter, as well as a COM
