WAR EFFECTS

Price Advances in Material
Used in Water System
Amount to $4,000.

On account Of the continued and
sustained advances in the prices or
all supplies and materials entering
into the operation OF the local water
works and sewerage systems, partic-
ularly as reflected In the price Of cal
cium hypochlorite. which has ad-
vanced to sixteen and one-half cents
per pound. and sllphate of aluminium
which has advanced in price from
one cent to four cents per pound, the
increased cost Of filterlng and Durl-
flying the city's water supply for the
year 1916 will amount to $1,000 over
the year 1915.
The advances in the prices OF cast
iron water pipe, wrought iron pipe.

goods, plumbing supplies, oils. pack
ingy, valves, fire hydrants and sewer

will cost the city $4,000 for the year
1919, In excess Of cost in any former
year for the same quantities Of ma
.terlals. The advances in prices will
cost the water department for the
calendar year 1915, the sum Of s15.-
900 In excess OF the cost In 1915.
These abnormal prices appear to be
called for because Of the increase In
the market price of these products
caused by the war.
