in the nature Of tax in the hands of the city. Office expense is now the principal expenditure of the water company. aside from the gem eral upkeep cost. and this could be materially reduced by placing the collection in the hands of the city clerk and his assistant.
 Net Revenue Estimate.
 Assuming that the net revenue of the plant is S1O.O0O year, which is very close. the following facts are brought out by the esti- mates:
 During the first four years, amounts ranging from $6.2SO to $4.- 57O would have to be appropriated from the general fund, which, with the net revenue from the plant would meet the installment pay ments and interest on the deferred payments. It would be necessary to borrow about S1O.OOO for the in- itial payment. which would have to be taken care of during the first year after the purchase but from that time on the payments would work out as stated.
 "At the end of the fifth year the net revenue from the plant would pay the installment due that year and also the interest. and re- turn 10 the city net profit of $2,- 6SO. Each year after the fifth year this net profit would increase as the payments and interests were re- duced until the full net return from the plant is realized. which would be at the end of the eighth year. at which time the plant would be owned by the city and would be clear.
 "One of the interesting points is the fact that if the plant is pur- chased. the heaviest payments come during the four years before the school bonds fall due and during years when other large expenditures are almost unnecessary.
 "The city now has SS 6OOU m the general fund out of which the initial payment can be made. A most careful budget has been pre- pared for the city counting the es- timated revenues and the estimated expenses. and also allowing several thousand dollars for incidentals and unforeseen expenditures. This shows that if the city purchases the plant now, it would be necessary to bor- row about S1O.0OO for city ex- penses. but as soon as the initial payment is made. the revenue from the plant is turned into the city treasury. which would replenish the fund. The city at the present time pays the water company S1OO per month for water for street and fire purposes and divides the water col- lections from the City dock. amount ing to SS5 per month, making a saving to the city of $135 per month"

BENEFICIAL
TO WHEAT

County Farm Agent o. C. Cooper
stated this morning that the present
snow would prove of almost inestinl-
able value to the wheat crop Of 1916.
Mr. Cooper stated that very small
acreage of the wheat of Grady county
may have been injured by the dry
weather, but that the crop would. he
thought, show up with at least an
average yield unless something unfor-
seen happens between this time and
the date of harvesting.
B. +. Parker, agricultural agent
from Hobart, Kiowa county, stopped
over today en- route to Oklahoma City,
as the guest of Agent Cooper OF Grady
county. Mr.. Parker states that IL his
opinion things were never in better
shape, from an agricultural viewpoint,
in this section Of Oklahoma. He looks
for bumper crops during the coming
year.

Some Sights Seen
ON Slippery Streets

Yesterday and today saw scenes
along Chickasha's streets which tended
to prove this one of the least snobbish
and most democratic cities in the
southwest. Bank presidents and ordi-
nary humans walked side by side right
down the middle CT the strets and al
most unanimously rendered the use of
the sidewalks to teams and autos. No
one was stuck up, at least no one was
stuck up very long at a time. True
it is that once in awhile some mis-
guided aristocrat would be seen who
cared not to associate with the com
mon herd by walking in the middle Of
the street. In ali such instances the
truth OF the Bibles statement that
pride goeth before fall,' was borne
out and witnessed with great amuse-
ment by the common herd and chagrin
to the aristoerats.
1t was not an uncommon sight at aEy
time today to see some one who felt
that his "dignitude" would not admit
of his walking elsewhere than on the
