ing to the amounts consumed. The
company in its report contends the
value Of it's plant is $1,020.435.61. in
which 1t includes organization value
of s53,32S.72, a franchise value Of
$110,S25 go, and license value Of $685.
494.02
The report shows during last year
the revenues of the Richmond COM
pany amounted to $95,445.07. the net
income amounted to $44,282.21, and
the deficit for the year amounted to
$4.34279 after dividends and interest
on bonded Indebtedness was paid.
These figures do not include the ad-
ditions made to the plant. To meet
interest on this new investment an
additional sum must be taken into
account, making the total deficit in
excess of $1,000.
The operating revenues OF the An
derson plant amounted to only $685.
049.91 and the net income to $14.500 10
but there were no dividends or inter
est to be paid and the entire fund
became the property of the city. The
value of the plant In Anderson is fixed
at $411.438.4O SG
1t Is in comparison G. the rates that
Richmond suffers most for while the
small consumer is paying 20 cents for
each 1000 gallons Of water in Rich
mond, in Anderson he is paying only
II cents, and the large consumer in
Richmond pays more than cents for
each 1000 gallons of water and in An
derson he pays only Az cents.
In other words, the report shows in
Anderson, with a much less consump-
ton and with much lower rates, the
net income to the plant was slightly
more than per cent. of the contended
value Of the plant and in Richmond,
with higher rates and larger consump-
ton and private plant, the income
was just about per cent. of the con-
tended valuation.
Members of the commission staff Of
engineers say the water in both cities
is excellent and the facilities sufficient
to cope with the demands of the con-
sumers.
But 1t is evident in this comparison,
the Anderson company obtains much
more credit than does the Richmond
company.
The following table has been pre-
pared for the benefit of the argument
which will continue and shows oper-
ating revenues, net income and rates:

western Newspaper Union News Service

3. That the name of our associa-
ton be changed to Woodmen Of tho

1. That we adopt new ritual and
take such other and necessary steps
as will make our association an indie
