Probably $4,000 in the pres

The cost of killing one soldier
is obtained by dividing the cost
of a war to any of the belliger-

on the other side.
In Franco-Pru<sian war of

HEARING ON THURSDAY
SALEM WATER coMPANY's CASE
WILL BE CONSIDERED BY RAIL-
ROAD COMMISSION.

Thursday the hearing Of the matter
of the Salem Water company comes up
before the railroad commission at which
time the evidence will be taken upon
which the rates to be charged will be
fixed. 1t seems there is not much to
be done on the part Of the city other
than to keep tab ON the evidence and a
close watch on the proceedings. The
company some time ago filed its state-
ments as to physical values Of its plat
and the commission has had its own en-.
gineers make an examination and has
also gone over the company's books. 1t
is matter Of vast Importance to Salem
as it is to the water company. Salem
is interested in getting cheaper water,
as the present charge Of an average Of
$22 year for household purposes IS
more than citizens should be required
to pay.
We are not saying the charge is ex.
orbitant from the company's point Of
view, that is the returns on the invest
ment, but we do insist that it is more
than any community should be com
PEELED to pay for its water. However
the matter will soon be decided, and if
the commission finds that the company
is getting only fair returns on its in
yestment, then it will be up to the CRY
to make some definite arrangements for
city owned water system.
