Cheap Water Had
by City of Chicago

Editor Morning Journal;
Having had ten years experience as
field assessor in the municipal water
works Of Chicago perhaps the follow.
ing win be OF service to the voters on
the bond issue.
Consumers are furnished water at
seven cents per thousand gallons, and
the cost based on ordinary expenses is
less than one cent and "a half
The free service for city purposes
amounts to about fifty per cent Of the
total pumpage and yet the revenue
exceeds the income of the plant.
have listened to a number of your
people discussing the water rates in
Albuquerque. Some appear to be
positive as to the rates they actually
pay for water, but my opinion is that
not person in Albuquerque knows
positively what rate he is paying per
thousand gallons | understand that a
majority of the consumers are sup
posed TO pay thirty cents per thous-
and. But il he uses less than the min
imum his annual bill is $2160. Add
his proportion of the tax now paid as
hydrant rental and what rate does me
pay for the water he uses?
The answer furnished by the chica-
go water works is about sixty cents
per thousand gallons providing you
furnish water free the same as Chica-
go does.

writer Is, 10 say The least, honest ~

boldly avows his intentions and those
