On Christmas Eve the Nj. e. Sabbath
School gave their annual program and
treat, The children had been trained
by their teachers and as each class was
called upon to do their part, good credit
was reflected on their teachers. 1t
would be hard to say which number
WAS best received but If the prolonged
applause indicated anything, the boys
class pleased the audience best with
their singing.
The tree had been put in place by
the Brotherhood class and this relieved
them Of other duties, except to see
that the got their share Of the candy.
II was hoped the men would speoE

A committee of girls decorated the
tree, and string OF sixteen coIored
electric lights made all respendant with
sparkle and light.
Quite a number Of beautiful and well
chosen presents were given by teach
ers to their classes and some by the
classes to their teachers.

appear any amount for damages in cured through civil acion This goes to show that this department has been run in way satisfactory to all patrons deriving benefit from the use of city water, and in careful way for the benefit of the public in general.
 The interest on the water works bonds for the past twelve months has been paid by the city treasurer out of funds derived from taxation, yet more than enough money has been transferred from the water works fund to the general fund to offset the amount of interest paid by the city treasurer, as the following para graph will show.
 During the period of time from July 1st, 1907. to December 31st, 1913, covered by this report, the total earn ings and expenditures have been as follows:
Arizona republican., 1914-04-02

Showing an increase for the
 The steady increase in the yearly net earnings as shown in the fore going tables has taken place in spite of the following facts, viz:
 That on the first day of May, 1909, charges against the general fund for fire hydrant rental, street sprinkling and other city services amounting to $6,900 yearly were discontinued; that on the 1st day of April, 1909, the flat base rate was cut from $1.50 per month per service to $1.00 per month, which shows a saving to the water users of one-third per cent. on the base rate, and the meter rate was cut from 20c per 1000 gallons to 12hc per 1000 gallons, making yearly re- duction to the gross earning of $14,- 400; that the monthly charge against the operating account for interest on bonds was on January 1st, 1909. in creased from $500 to $1,250 monthly, making total yearly increase in ex- penses of $11,4 400.
 The water department does not re- ceive any compensation for water supplied to the city government and it's departments. There should be some manner in which the water de- partment would receive a credit for this expense, for in no other way can the city government or the peo- pie determine what any given depart ment receives or expends for this commodity This expense goes to de- crease the apparent cost of operating the other departments that get the benefit of it and at the same time in- creases the apparent cost of operating the water department
 It is quite noticeable fact that of the total expenses for the period covered by this report, there does not
Arizona republican., 1914-04-02

The consumption in the summer months will approach dangerously close to the probable normal supply of water from our present source, and if severe drought should prevail about that time, there might be a serious deficiency.
 It is only a matter of a very few years until the city will be compelled to develop a new source of water supply, and l believe that it would be economy and good business to do such preliminary work as is necessary to determine where a supply can be had and what would be the probable cost. I do not deem it necessary at this time to go into the merits of any particular source from which the city might secure a water supply, but for the information of those who may be interested in this matter, I will refer to the reports of Messrs. Phillips and Reed on the probable sources of wa ter supply for domestic purposes for the city of Phoenix, on file with the city recorder.
 EIectroIysis
 I believe that an expert should be employed to make a complete cleo trical survey of all water mains be- longing to this department, for the purpose of detecting and guarding against electrolysis. We have not suffered any great damage that has been visible during the past year, but some small damage which has been sx,@r %A fho danger.
 Additional Pumping Equipment
 It will be absolutely necessary to install additional pumping equipment before the summer of 1915. We have had prices on electrical power from the Pacific Gas & Electric O., and from the Water Users Association or the reclamation service, and unless they could make us a better price than has already been submitted, it would not be economy for the city to figure on using electrical power for pumping. We would have to have a rate of ah cents or less per K. W. to make the cost of pumping with electrical power as low as pumping with steam driven pumps.
 Summary
 The operation of the water works py the municipal government mas achieved the following results:
 The establishment of efficient anu adequate fire protection throughout the city by the extension of mains; the installation of a sufficient number of fire hydrants of adequate size. and the arrangement of the pumping sys- tenn in such a way that a fire pressure of 100 lbs. per square inch can be established throughout the entire sys- tenn of distribution within the space of two minutes, without the necessity of the engineer in charge of the plant leaving the engine room.

The result of the six and a half years of operation of the municipal plant has shown conclusively that the action of the city council in purchas- ing the plant and franchise of the Phoenix Water Company was wise. It was generally conceded at the time of the purchase that the litigation in which the Phoenix Water Company had involved the city could be con- tinued for another three years at least during which time the city would be without fire protection, in surance rates would remain ab- normally high and rates for water service would remain excessive. Taking this into consideration I would give this estimated three years period as a basis for caluculation. It can readily be seen that the saving to the citizens and taxpayers by req son of the operation of the water works by the municipality instead of by a private company. has more than compensated for the first cost of the plant. A conservative estimate would show this saving to be as follows:
