To SECRECATE COST
OF C|TY's WATER

II plans berS considered by w. H.
Korns commissioner Of water supply. are
favora6iy received by the committee, a
system OF charging each department. OF
tho city for the water it uses VIII be in
augurated next year In the administra- =
tion of the water department.
Commissioner NornS proposes To charge
the park depsrimcnt and the street de-
partment for the water consumed by them
In particular. lie would also apply the
game principle to every other city de-
partmcnt using water without charge.
While II might appear TO be merely
taking the money out OF one municipal
pocket AND putting it into another pocket,
my system would result In much better
bookkeeping and would evenly distribute
the cost OF operating the municipality in
stead OF making the water department
stand an expense that each department
should share In" the water commissioner
said yesterday.
Mr. ltorns returnd Sunday from q ten
days trip through California, where ne
methods used by various towns OF that
state.
II found tho system or charging each
department for the water it uses to be
universal among California cities" ssid
Mr., korns. ut results in a more bu5i-
nesslIke administration in every case and
is found 10 be satisfactory TO all con-
cerned"
The water commissioner declares that
Salt Lake has splendid water system
as compared TO those OF California cities.
Water IL furnished more chcaply here,
there is more per capita of population
a nd the pressure Is uniformly better.
- study OF the water problems OF
other cities convinces me that Salt Lake
need only eliminate the extravagant
waste OF water that now prevails to make
the present supply ample to the needs
of the city for years TO come" said Mr..
Korns, I'VE use more water per capita
in Salt Lake than in any other city in
America that I know of. Many cities con-
fine their daily supply to eighty or ninety
gallons per capita, while Salt Lake runs
as high as go gallons daily per capita
