should buy the water works It can offer water at 3 cents per 1000 gallons to induce manufacturing to locate; this will bring more people here who will be- come customers for the water. This will be a good inducement for the board of trade to offer.
 The city can install 100 or more ad- ditional fire hydrants at only the first cost of installation; and not have to pay $50 per annum for each additional hydrant as present contract provides; this will save $500 to 5000 per year for fire hose and should reduce insurance rates.
 If the city buys water works now 1t will acquire Glen Springs and McAdory Springs. These springs as well as the 10 per cent reserved of Hawkins Springs are not covered by the option to buy in 1912
 If Bessemer is going backward. the city better not buy the water works.
 If the city continues to improve, the sooner 1t buys the better
 We ask you, will the city continue to improve? Will the board of trade and Bessemer's natural resources bring any new industries here? If they do, the water works will be the first to reap the benefit. Every new customer that in creases the net earnings of the water works $1o increases the value of the plant $2O0.
 The city improved very much the past five years. The water works has reaped more benefit from it than any com pany. firm Or individual Shall we con- unue to work for the water works?
 At the suggestion of certain citizens and for the information of the city coun- cil we employed MT. T. IL Aldrich, an RXDerienced engineer to report the plant and he made very favorable re- port thereon, advising its purchase. These are some of the reasons that influenced the committee and members of the coun- ell to favor the purchase of water works at the present time.
