have to contribute $4,000 to the reve-
nue. OF the water company to maintain
such rates. which in the main, were
less than former water rates." the
mayor explained. This amount was
appropriated in the 1915 budget, but
the city, by practicing rigid economy,
will be able to keep this expense with
In $4,000 this year, it has been esti-
mated, the saving being more than
sufficient to provide for the additional
| salary expenses of the police and fire
departments.
Accomplishing a saving in water
bills has had its disadvantages, how
ever. The water company has just
informed the state commission that
under existing rates the company has
been unable to realize its anticipated
6 per cent earnings on it's investment.
Therefore, believe that the commits
sion will require the city to pay out
to the company the full share of its
contribution to the company's revenue
SO, 0OO-or submit to a general in
crease in water rates. The only way
the city can get value received for
contributing $4,000 to the company an
nually is to increase the number of
fire hydrants, for which the city pays
drant."
Bond Interest Arises.
The mayor also pointed out that
next year the city would have to pay
out $4,000 interest on the $4,000 pub
lie improvement bond issue, floated
this year.
| The city will also retire a SIT 900
bond issue In october next year. When
this issue has been retired the city's
bonded Indebtedness will then be re-
duced to the $4,000 municipal light
plant issue, maturing in 1927, and the
$4,000 public improvement issue of
this year. Last month the city paid
off ST., 900 in bonds.
The question of public improvements
for next year is one which the ad-
ministration regards with apprehen.
sion. This year it was only possible to
provide $4,000 for public improve.
ment fund, and next year it will be
impossible to provide a larger, if as
large a fund for such purposes. At
the same time, the administration re-
allies, there will be a public demand
for additional improvements. especial
ly sewer betterments and increases.
More Bonds Required.
IF any public improvement program
is undertaken next year, even though
it is only half as pretentious as the
one carried on this year. another bond
issue will be required" Mayor Rob
bins declared.
AS he will absolutely refuse to tole-
rate any increase in the tax rate,
which is now $1.10, the only relief in
sight to provide a revenue sufficient
for a city the size of Richmond, is
the paying over of a part of the mu-
nicipal plants earnings at the end of
the year into the municipal general
fund, but if the city carries out its
project of purchasing the electric plant
of the Light, Heat and Power COM
pany, this can not be done. because
all the earnings of the city plant would
have to be applied to the debt incurred
by such purchase. In the event this
deal is not contaminated the city could
easily obtain $4,000 for its general
fund next year from the city plants
earnings, sum representing approx
mately 6 per cent on the investment OF
plant.
