No Extra Cost

These patented tires used to cost one-ffth more than other standard tires. That's true mo longer. They cost but an equal price.
 Tires that can't rim-cut cost the same as tires that do. Tires 10 per cent oversize cost the same as tires just rated size.
 Avoidance of rim-cutting, as proved by statistics, saves B per l cent.

Ten per cent oversize, under average conditions, adds 9 per cent to the tire mileage.
 So these two features together can be safely relied on to cut tire bills in two.

EXPERIMENTS WILL
Be MADE LATER
N THE YEAR
Dr.. G. A. Ruediger to 1nves-
tigate the Water. Soft
ening Processes.

That the city will experiment in a
water softening process is generally
believed to be the use which will be
made of the profits of. the waterworks
during the past year.. The city council
waterwarks committee in their report
to the council at the annual meeting,
suggested that the earnings be applied
to the installation Of a s~oftening plant,
or that the rates be reduced.
During the past winter some fault
was found with the extreme hardness
Of the water. At the present time the
zee spring rains have made the
water soft and no objection can be
made. but according to DIR. Ruediger
later in h summer when the effects
of the rains are gone. the hardness
will return.
DIR. Ruediger was instructed at the
annual meeting of the council to look
into the matter and ne will make an
investigation later in the summer. He
states that there are a number Of Diff
ferent processes which might be in
stalled, and that the trouble | s.to. find
the most applicable to local conditions.
The report of the committee is as
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
Gentlemen: -
We. the members Of the waterworks
committee. to whom were referred
the annual reports Of the superin-
tendent of the waterworks. and Of the
ensineer at the pumping station.
would state that We have examined
these reports, and find that these de-
partments have been conducted in a
satisfactory manner. The cash profit
from the sale Of water was $23, 72S. 05.
Strictly speaking. from this should be
deducted Interest on the investment
dnSentoried at about $3.50, 900. 00) at,
say. = per cent, and depreciation at.
IA 2h PEI cent, or $9.76O.00. But
with, equal right We should credit the
system with a hydrant rental Of. say.
$4,000 per hydrant, which for the 253
hyrdants now in use would make $10,-'
10000. These two accounts thus
practically balance each other, leav-
ing the sum of $~23,72s.05 as clear
profit.
1t is a question whether it is good
policy to make the sale Of an absolute
necessity a source of profit to such an
extent. and We therefore recommend
that the council take into considera.
ton the reducing Of the rates or the;
improvement of the system by the in
PRODUCTION of the s~oftening process.
The unusual hardness Of the ate
during recent months and the proba-
bllity hat the hardness will return
after the spring rains leads us to
urge that this question OF %softening.
be thoroughly investigated. With
this in view. we recommend that Dr.
G.. F. Ruediger, supervisor Of the filter,
be requested to present an estimate
of the cost Of the initial experimental
ton which he considers advisable,
and also an estimate of the cost of in.
