MEANS $500 MORE PER YEAR

A second effect OF the European war
today was felt by the Rock Island
wa,erworks department when notice
was received by Commissioner j. A.
Nurrin that the price of sulphate of
alum has advanced 100 per cent, which
will mean an increase in expense in
el;ration OF water of $500 per year
The Superior Chemical company Of
Toilet which has supplied this chemi-
cal 10 the city announced that it is
forced 10 increase the price from 81
10 g per hundred pounds A carload
Of alum. containing 10000 pounds, is
used here each month This means
that instead of paying S400 per month
for the alum the city will pay $500, an
increase of $500 There is nothing In
the letter which assures that the price
will not advance from the present one
quoted.
The chemical company says that the
cost Of sulphuric acid has advanced in
price from SOC TO 700 per cent. Sui
phuric acid is used in neutralizing the
alum as it is mined. 1t was imported
from Germany before the war started.
When the supply from there was cut
of It was made in the United States
and the price advance was not great.
However. more recently the United
States began exporting it to England
in large quantities for use in the
manufacture Of explosives and local
munitions plants also increased the
demand in placing large orders for
the acid for use in the manufacture
Of ammunition. The price increased
with the demand
Gives Inside Price.
The Superior Chemical company de-
clared that the general price of alum
is from I to cents per pound. but
that in view OF the past patronage OF
the city, it is giving Rock Island an
inside price Of cents per pound.
The alum is used in settling the
water. There is no chemical that can
be employed as a substitute as far as
is known here and the city faces a diff
ferent situation than several months
ago when the war affected the price
Of hypo-chlorite used in purifying the
water
At that time a substitute was of
fered. which is now considered bet
Ter process than the hypo-chlorite
method. At a cost of $500 the city in
stalled a chlorine gas plant at the
filter plant. The expense of purifying
the water was thus rendered below
hat Of before the war.
Now the city can find no substitute
and as the alum is essential in fltra-
lion OF water, the municipality has nc
alternative and must pay the price
