COST OF IRON PIPE B|G ITEM IN THE WATER APPRAISAL Kendrick Explains Some of Main Items of Difference
 in Reports QUESTION OF RATES
 ALSO EXPLAINED Excerpts From Hills Report Give His Views on Probable Rates
 Under the Two
 Valuations

The difference in the cost of cast iron pipe as figured by the city's ey- pert and experts of the Birmingham Waterworks company is the largest item in the gap between the respect i've appraisals of s5,OOO,OOO and S,100,- 900, according to MT. Kendrick, the city's engineer.
 There is also a wide divergence he claims in the estimated depreciation of water mains; of the value of the com pany's real estate and coal mine; an ex- cess charge for water rights of about half a million dollars; also an arbitrary charge by the water company of street paving over it's mains and for service pipe connections installed by about 21O9 consumers.

REGARDING LOWER RATES

Regarding the statement of MT. Hill relative to the low rates in effect in the city, MT. Kendrick says:
 MT. Hill does not state that if the plant was acquired by the city, it would be necessary for the city to increase the water rates, but he did advise that for a period of years the city should not make any reduction in the present rates. ? EXCERPTS FROM HILLS REPORT
 Following are excerpts from MT. Hill s report relating to rates of the water com pany:
 Rates have not been sufficient to yield a fair return on the fair value of the plant and the company has not set aside a fair depreciation reserve, due no doubt, in part to the inadequate rates.
 There must be some adjustment in the rate schedules in the near future in order that it may earn return greater than that produced by the present rates.
 Investment value of the property based on existing rates, $45ss'l51. Invest ment value of the property based on fair rates $6,35S,945.''
 Finally, we do not believe that it will be possible for the city to reduce rates in the event of purchase, that is, if the water department is to be self sustain ing The city should. prior to establish ing a rate schedule and subsequent tc purchase, have careful review of the cost of service made in order equitably to allocate such cost between the tax payer and the water consumer. Unless this is done. and if the revenue from hydrant rentals is abolished, as is GUS tomary under municipal ownership. the water consumer will have to bear heavy additional burden unless the water sys- tenn is made dependent upon appropria- tions secured through the general tax levy, a custom which is to be deplored."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-06-29
QUESTION OF DEPRECIATION

"As to the difference in the amount of depreciation on the water mains, this is
 due to the fact that when the reservoir was located on the North Highlands the pressure on the mains in the business district was naturally very much less than at present from the reservoir located on Shades mountain, and much lighter pipe was therefore used in the older dis tribution system than would be good en-
 gineering practice with the present pres
 sure. NIr. Hill, therefore, depreciated this
 pipe to much greater extent than the heavier pipe.
 Also, the waterworks company assumes that it owns all of the service pipes con nected with the water system, while MT. Hill contends that they are entitled to credit for only such service pipes as they have placed or which they have ac- quired.
 Another very large item is the cost of repaving over water mains. MT Hill coEEends that the company is entitled to credit only for the cost of such paving as was laid prior to the time the original mains were constructed. Tn the matter of water rights, MT. Hill contends that the company is only entitled to such expense as that incurred in the acquiring of such rights which expense has been Very light in this case.
 The company fixes one-half million dol lars as the value of these rights, al though they do not claim to have spent anything like this amount in acquiring them.
 There are many other items included in the waterworks appraisal which 1 do not think will be insisted on by the company, which total up quite large sum-"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-06-29
CAN BE ADJUSTED

As regards the difference in price for cast iron pipe, Mir. Kendrick is of the opinion that this can be checked over and adjusted, as it was agreed between the appraisers that in arriving at the prices, the average price for the past 1G years should be used.
 Another great difference is in the price of real estate,' said the city engineer. The city employed MT. I. c. Beatty, gen. eral manager of the Birmingham Realty company, to place value on the lands of the waterworks company, as in many instances the lands of the Birmingham Realty company adjoin and even sur round that of the waterworks company, and it was thought that Mir. Beatty was better qualified than any one else to fix the value of these lands.
 Another large difference exists in the amount of coal contained in the lands owned by the waterworks company. The city employed H. A. Turner, consulting engineer, to fix price on the mineral rights of the property. The waterworks company assumes that all of it's lands in the coal basin carry vein of coal. MT. Turner states this is not correct

DENIES MURDER

Keawi Keawekane, charged with
the murder of Kama Kanoa, a young
Hawaiian boy, in upper Makiki valley
on January 8 Of this year, took the
witness stand in his own defense IN
Circuit Judge Hens court this morn
ing and gave his version Of the killing
of Kama and his older brother.
Keawekane said he had not seen
the two boys on the day Of the muir
der until he found them lying dead on
the floor Of their home. He told OF
his arrest and how, after he had been
in Jail for about ten days, he was
taken to the office Of Attorney W. ].
Sheldon.
He declared that at first he told
Sheldon the same story he told in
court today, which he asserted was the
truth, but that Sheldon warned him
that IL he did not confess he would be
hung. He further testified that he
had been prompted to tell fictitious
story Of a row with the Kanoa boys
and an attack by them on him.
Then, he went on, he later told this
story to Captain Of Detectives Arthur
McDuffie, City Attorney A. M. Brown
and others.
WAS the story you told them true?'
