Accident TO Boat.

On our VOYAGE 10 Australia one Of
our ports of call was at Zamb oanvo in
southern PHILIPPINE Islands Here we
find The natives living The simple
life " We went ashore and soon we
had following of about three dozen
little boys and girls in all their inno-
cence, not a string or rag to mar the
beauty Of their rich birthday dress.
This was the most picturesque spot
we have yet seen, little bamboo straw

buffalo hitched to large wagons filed
with natives slowly vending his way
homeward, ETC., etc. The voyage
from Manila to Brisbane, Australia,
was the most delightful we have yet
had: the sea was CLASSY smooth, 1t was
also the most dangerous because OF
hidden reefs. Several nights We an.

Plant; the Electric Light account
was audited for only two years
back and, accepting the audit
and previous report as correct,
it shows net loss of $10,635. SO.
Even allowing for the sum of
$1O.635.59 collected for taxes,
there is still deficit Of $419.96.
The last report received by the
Electric Light Office dated July
81, 1907, shows net gain Of
$33, 1924. But you will note
that the depreciation Of the
plant is not considered. Deduct.
ing for depreciation the amount
agreed upon to wit, $22 ,575.97

This deficit of $T.3SS.09 for the
year will either have to be made
up by raising the price of lights
or by taxation. recommend
that as soon as practicable, the
lights be raised to thirty-three
and One-third cents per light, so
as to enable the City to make a
profit on it's investment, and also
to create a sinking fund for the
redemption of the Electric Light
Bonds according to ordinance.
The City is liable to censure
and have it's credit impaired by
not doing so. In conclusion will
say that, although the City Plant
has not done as well in a financial
way as has been claimed, it has
been demonstrated that it is a
good investment for the City

lights at three for one dollar

AS to the City Water Supply 1
believe that we should build for
a greater City, and if the mains
could be extended to say, four
fifths of the residents. the water
rights that we now have would
not be sufficient. 1t occurs to me
that the condition is very unsatis-
factory, not to say alarming. As
solution of the problem, I re-
commend that in the near future,
"A reservoir be constructed at the
head of the present system, for
storage and settling purposes.
Aside from the defects of the
water system in regard to he
supply. there is the unsatisfac-
tory condition of the present
means of conveying the water
from the river to the head Of the
system. The canal used for this
purpose for various reasons is
subject TO frequent breaks, as "A
result of which the supply is
wholly or partially cut off, as il
Illustrated recently when the sys-
tenn was rendered useless for
practically "a hours.
Should fire occur in the City
at such time, there might be an
alarming loss of life and proper
ty. 1t is my opinion, therefore,
that you should investigate the
feasibility of running a pipe line
from the reservoir site to the
river. This would make an ideal
system and should be installed if
possible.

Australia Very Liberal.

One is sure to be struck by the liber.
al way which Australia spends money
upon public works, such as legislative
buildings, parks, botanical gardens,
etc. At Sydney the botanical garden
covers thirty.eight acres beautifully
laid out and rich with the spoil OF all
the lands and all the climes Of the
world. Sydney has the most beauti.
full harbor In the world. 1t Is shut In
behind a precipice that extends some
miles like wall, and exhibits no break
to the ignorant stranger. 1t has a
break In the middle and near by that
break is q false break which resembles
1t. 1t caused the memorable disaster
of the Duncan Dunbar some years
back when two hundred persons lost
their lives. Only one on that vessel
was saved. and he was flung upon a
shelf (rock) by the sea and rescued.
This man still lives and visits the spot
every year.

order OF fire. The skirmish run will
come in as the fifth stage, being pre-
