That Can Be Plugged;
Compliments Officials

The municipal watCrworks in this

TO the statement of the state. examiner.

recently. The report i'll full has been
examiner, Il. A. Morarty, says that the
local plant has been giving away
$S,039.50 worth of free water and scr-
vice annually.
The report shows that the plant has
been operating at a loss during 1916,
but also shows if the city were receiy-
ing pay for the free wator that WAS
illegally" furnished, tho department
would have received more than a sur
fcicnt amount to pay all items Of cX-
pensc and maintenance and also inter
est on bonds, loss in taxes that accruc5
to the city through the fact that tAc
plant is not privately owned and also
fair charge for depreciation.
The examiner points cut that Of the
above amount of free service only
$l,4O7 is legal, being the furnishing of
water to the city Offices, TWO fire sta
tions, the Home for the Aged and sew
en- public schools. The water illegal
ly" furnished without charge was TO

the city has been furnishing l55 fire
hydrants without charge. The cyami.
ncr says that these would reasonably
cost the city not less than $50 each an
nually if the plant were operated BY d

The waterworks derived $iS 390.6i

ing plants and railroads, where the

doubtedly increase the departments in

Tho waterworks could also save
money, he declares, by abandoning the
custom of furnishing the labor and ma

tinued and would result in great say
