depreciation account for renewals.
5000
Expense dependent upon amount used,

and that the actual capacity OF plant
and machinery for fire purposes IS
5000 gallon per minute, while 1t ac-
tualIy requires a capacity Of 1.500 gal
Ions per minute for other uses; ana
that the actual use for fire purposes
during a given period taken as test
was 100000 gallons. and for all other
uses 40O.O00.00O gallons.
The first set Of figures shows the
comparative capacity required. The
plant must be and is ready to deliver
water twice as fast for fire protection
as 1t is called upon to deliver 1t Tor
other uses, and in addition to such otn-
er uses. The second set shows the
comparative amounts actually pumped
purified and delivered.
Determined by this test. the charges
would be apportioned between the city
for fire protection and the domestic
users thus:
City Domestic Total
Use
probation, s1s.eees7 $685. $500
Other expenses, 77200 29.o6s00 $1,000
s17,sss.s7 $s7. .S01 .ss $55.OOo
It will be seen that his calculation
seeks only to divide the charges for
fire protection and for other uses,
called domestic uses. In the latter is
included all water used by the city as
an ordinary consumer. such as schools.
offices, fountains, drinking troughs,
etc. This would be measured as
though delivered to private persons
and deducted from the $37,601.33 in the
above figures. The remainder would
be the amount to be assessed against
the private domestic users-would be
their part Of the burden-whether the
city actually paid anything or not.
This is offered merely as illustra-
tive, suggested by the reports OF other
commissions. 1t is not impossible, or
improbable, that other methods equal
ly as satisfactory may be devised for
making the division. But no division
can be correct, where water is sup
piled for fire protection and for do
mestic use, which does not take these
principles Of demand and actual con-
sumption into account.
