LOS ANGELES
COMPARISON
II the Apraisement Of Present Water System is Fair
Cost II Service by Equivalent Municipal Plant
Woud be No Cheaper. Consider the Following
Facts Against Mere Opinion


1929. .O5S.
This brings the total valuation of
the property of the Denver Union Wa
ter Company, that is matched, in any
particular by the property of the Los
Angeles system to s6,6S7,264.
This covers 4635S miles of mains
and conduits for Denver. as against
only 1876 miles in actual service in
Los Angeles, yet the Los Angeles val
uation is sl,055,435 higher than the
valuation placed upon these compo-
nents OF the Denver plant by the
board of appraisers
For good measure We can throw in
with the Denver plant the Marston
Lake storage reservoir, capacity g.,
400.00O.000 gallons, which the apprais-
ers valued at s673,S9 giving the por
ton of the Denver plant with which
the Los Angeles plant may be COM
pared storage capacity seven times
the capacity Of the Los Angeles plant.
If the Denver plant contained only
these components it would be more
adequate and efficient system than
the Los Angeles plant. Its storage
capacity would be seven times as
great as the Los Angeles plant. Its
pumping capacity would be more than
60 per cent greater than the Los An
geles plant Its distribution system
would be more efficient than the Los
Angeles plant because it contains far
less small pipe. 1t would have $50
more fire hydrants than the Los An
geles plant, and consequently, give
better fire protection.
Yet the total valuation fixed by the
appraisers upon these components of
the Denver plant is only s7,361159 as
against s7,742.699 for Los Angeles, or
the parts of the Denver plant, which
can in any measure be duplicated by
the plant in Los Angeles are valued
at sSSl,5i0 less than the Los Angeles
plant which is not nearly so efficient.
Taking these facts into considera-
ton no one can take seriously the
claims made by men who know moth
ing about a water plant that the Dem
yer plant can be reproduced for less
than half the valuation placed upon it
The Patterson-Rush contingent has
made much capital of the fact that
the city of Los Angeles, in 1902. pur-
chased, from a private company. the
water plant. then supplying the city
of Los Angeles. for the sum of 81
0O0. 900
They point to this price as posi-
tive criterion of the price that should
be paid by Denver for the plant OF
The Denver Union Water Company
They declare that the city Of Los
Angeles. in 1902. was as big as Den
yer is today. and the water plant Just
as extensive as the existing plant Of
The Denver Union Water Company.
The fallacy Of this claim can best
be shown by an accurate inventory of
what the city of Los Angeles actually
purchased. and comparison of the
price maid for that plant with the ap-
nraised valuation of the plant of The
Denver Union Water Company,
Table No. l. made up of pine OF all

Minneapolis, May 4.--Arrangements
are being made by August Peterson,
president of the First National bank,
Harvey, N. D., and r. w. Akin,
president of the State bank of An

Mr.. Peterson said today that he has
been considering moving his head

he has personally sought consolida-

be taken over by himself and Mr..
Akin, he admitted that local financial

Mr. Reebe In Harness Again.

Architect M. e. Beebe returned last
night from Bismarck where he went
to inspect the new City National bank,
for p. c. Remington, president, which
has just been completed from Mr.. Bee
be's plans, at a cost of about $4,000.
While at Bismarck Mr.. Beebe re-
ceived an order to prepare plans for
the enlargement Of the Grand Pacific
hotel for Henry Tally. This will com
prise an extension on the north sid }
50x140 feet, four stories Ugh, and the
carrying UP of the entire original
building which was erected only four
years ago and is practically new, to
the same height, making the building
125x14o feet and four stories through
out.
This will very nearly double the
capacity of the building and give very
much needed accommodations.
A fine new electric passenger eleva-
tor, also a freight elevator will be In
stalled; a large nnber Of bath rooms
added, and many other improvements
included, which, when completed will
make this one of the largest and best
equipped hotels in the state.
