but another step toward commercializ-
ing that thoroughfare. The character
of the street undergoes little change in
the average transaction, but subdivi-
sions have a telling effect when fol-
lowed by the erection of stores and
shops. While many of the old residents
are in no immediate danger of en-
croachments, practically all of them
have more or less definite plans for
"alighting' when they are finally forced
to move

GRIFFITH TALKS
ON WATER WORKS
Points Out That Balance is
in Favor of Municipal
Plant.

Municipal ownership of public util-
tiles was ably discussed by r. E
Griffith ut the regular meeting of the
F'otnightly club, held Monday night
at the public library.
While admitting in his address that
such ownership is not always a tlnan.
cial success, MIR. Griffith pointed out
q large number of points in it's IA
vor.
AS an ILLUSTRATION Of his subject. MIR,
Griffith used the waterworks system
OF Grand Forks. This he considered
from four angles. namely, quality OF
service, price paid for service, rates
and health potection.
Service Generally Good.
In. regard to the quality Of the serv.
ice rendered, he found that it was
generally good. The only criticism
was that at times when unusual Gle.
mands were made on the, capacity OF
the plant, it had in the past been un-
able to meet them without endanger-
ing, to some extent, the health OF
some of the water users.
Taking up the question Of the price
paid Tor service, he demonstrated wa
ter was supplied to the larger custom.

ent cost of pumping the water and

err than 1t should be.
The rate Of SO cents for the frs,
1000 gallons. and gradually decreas.
ing as o water is used. he declared
to be as cheap as was possible under
the present conditions.
Financial Feature.
Mr.. Griffith declared. however, that
in spite Of the balance turned over
to the city teasury the local water
plant could scarcely be considered a
financial success on account OF a mum.
Der of items. such as interest on lost
capital. X lost, ETC., which were
not charged up.
The system owned by the city, how.
ever. is more directly under the CON.
troll of the health authorities, and
Therefore Is more apt to be a factor
for good sanitation than u privately
owned system. TO-
Mr.. Griffith also pointed out that
civic pride was a large factor in ia
vor Of the municipality owned. system.
Discussing the lighting system, Mr..
Griffith pointed out that the same
facts applied to it as to the water
system namely that while it could not
be called a great financial; success. the
service was good, and VS. a source of
great satisfaction to residents Of the
city. =, -"

A large number of those interest

and for two hours the debate ragged
hotly. The more expensive tank was
advocated by .the Women's Civic
league, and by a number Of other cit
liens.
The advocates of the cheaper, tank
which had already been decided on.
based their views on the opinion of
Fl. g. Lykken. city engineer that the
cheaper tank would be quite as SAM.
tary as the nor expensive tank.
They also pointed out that in order
to purchase the higher priced apparat-
us. 1t would be. necessary to exceed
the bond issue authorized by the city
council.
The tank which is to he purchased
will cost sl75. The other tank would
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000,
