KENOSHA, Wis, Aug. 1S.-The re-

shows that the commission made net
earnings Of nearly $4,000 on an invest

In addition to this it is shown that a
large number of extensions have been
made to the Kenosha plant and the rate
for water rental has been reduced so
that it is as low or lower than that paid
in any other city of its size in Wiscon-
sin.
The Nenosha plant has been a paying

the city in 1895. The cost of the plant
is rapidly being paid off. Of the S137.-

more than double this amount has been
