TAXES IN MIAMI

Miami Metropolis :-"Will someone
kindly tell me; will someone please
give the reason why?" run the words
of a song that Eddie Foy used to sing
in drawing manner in his heyday as
a comedian with Henderson's extrava-
ganzas, which would be a good thing
to frame over the door of the council
chamber while the city council is
in session as a board of equalization.
John B. Reilly, financially agent for
the James Deering interests in Miami,

day afternoon when he appeared be-
fore the council in behalf of the Deer

"GAYEST OF OLD CHAPS" IS,
GIVES ADVICE FOR HAPPINESS

Newbury, O., Sept. 12.-Gaius
Mum, eighty-five, endeavors to ex-
emplify his first name and claims to
be the gayest old chap in these parts.
He has never smoked or chewed the
filthy weed, and for sixty-one years
the cup that cheers has never been
raised to his lips. But chiefly to love
does Gaius attribute his gaiety, and
here's his advice to the lovelorn:
Marry while young. Don't let old
man H. c. l.. deter you. Proceed
with a firm step to the marriage Ii
cense clerk. Procure the necessary
papers. Ferret out the marrying
squire. Have the matrimonial bond
tightly tied Be frugal economical
industrious. Shun liquor, Spurn to
bacco. Let the little god of love
reign supreme. And happiness il
yours. What matter if beefsteak il
ninety cents a pound?"

Slaughter Last Week

The beautiful home OF one of our
prominent citizens was the scene Of
a wholesale slaughter one night last
week. Shortly after dusk the house

would have made sleep impossible
had not preparation been made for
just such happening. A barriage
of Torment was shot into the air of
each room with a small spray, and
the mosquitoes at once surrendered

of the city council looked toward G.
Duncan Brossier, who made this
years assessment.
You mean you would like to know
how | arrived at those figures?" asked
Mr.. Brossier.
Eyes, if you don't mind: I'm little
bit curious" replied Mr.. Reilly.
"Well, they are based on CORE
spending values of property in that
section" said Mr.. Brossier.
What were the lots assessed at on
the same side of Miami avenue?'
asked Mr.. Reilly, who had previously
pointed out that IL lots on Brickell
avenue included in the Deering estate
had been increased from 100000 to
$24S,76O.
q based my figures on the fact
that other lots abutting the bay were
assessed at $23,7OO each. West o.
Miami avenue the property was as
sessed on an acreage value Of $75(
per acre."
That's more like true assessed
valuation" said Mr.. Reilly.
Mr. Brossier said that he had as
sessed the property from Miami ave
to Brickell avenue at $4,000 per lot.

A Real Joy-Trip Is Promised Motor.
lists OF Marion County

The Marion county motorcade into
South Florida September 2Srd to 26th
promises to be a great trip. AS yet
ii is not known just how many cars
will be in line. The committee in
charge expects to have some idea OF
this by the end of the week. 1t is
hoped that every section of the coun-
ty will be represented by one or more
cars. The motorcade is for the pur-
pose Of boosting Marion county, and
of giving to those who go an oppor.
tunity to see South Florida, the pro-
gress being made there, and of get
! ting in touch with the people along
the route, 1t is also an opportunity
to get away from business and out in
to the free air of the open road.
| Plans were being made last week,
looking to a joint motorcade OF the
motorists of Lake and Marion coun.
lty. The idea of having the two
counties get together made an instant
appeal. At meeting Of the Marion
county committee Saturday night
however. the proposed trip was dis
cussed from various angles and II
was decided that il would be best not
to attempt Joint motorcade. The
committee is of the opinion that cars
from the two counties would make
too large a party and one difficult tc
handle on the road. A large party
would also make It difficult to obtair
satisfactory accommodations en- route
Those who fail to go on this triI
will miss real treat. The weather
each day now is getting more ant
more snap into it, and to get out OF
the open road promises to have al
the joy possible in 1t.
The schedule for the four days
journey is as follows:
Tuesday, September 23rd

Can't Drink Arkansas Water.

But you can't drink the Arkansas river water.
You must buy bottled water You know what you
pay individually for bottled water but have you
stopped to think what tremendous sum Tulsa pays
in year for bottled water.
It is conscrvtvely estimated that $4,000 bottles OF
water are used each week in Tulsa. That totals at
% cents n bottle the enormous sum of $750000 a
year If you think it is high consider that it allows
each person only two quarts Of water day and
consider that one glass of water is a half-pint and
that means eight glasses of water day for pop
ulation of 10000 The average person will drink at
least two glasses Of water each meal and several
glasses between meals.
This sum must be added to the cost of the city
water. making n total spent for water annually.

What Are Other Costs of Arkansas
RiYer2

The life Of an automobile radiator with Arkansas
river water is only about n third Of what it would
be with good water such Spayinaw water. There
are probably 5000 automobiles in Tulsa and the
chcpcst radiator costs S2l. This item alone will run
up an expense chargeablc TO Arkansas river water,
Of several hundred thousand dollars year Take
the matter Of plumbing. f. L. Freeman, a Tulsa
plumber, says there p plumbing repair shops
in Tulsa and that their repair business will average
from 81 200 to 81 800 month each This amounts TO
$3.50 600 a year and at least half Of this expense
would be eliminated by good water.
II is hard to estimate the and tear on clothes
from the Arkansas river water but 1t is enormous
and industrial concerns in the city must pay out
large sums annually because the Arkansas river
water eats away their boilers and other machinery.
Every one Of these expenses is chargeablc to
Arkansas river water and should be figured in with
the water bill

What Does Water Cost Today?

The consumption OF water today from The CITY
supply is in excess of 100000 gallons daily. The
poor quality Of the water prohibits its consumption by
industrial concerns because of its corrosive qualities
If a good water supply were available the
sumption would be in the neghborhood of l00 600
gallons daily, according to men in position TO Judge
such matters But take only the figure today and the
yearly cost is Sl3S,63 which is computed from the
average cost of 1000 gallons for May which was
S2s2 cents This that you are paying for
5000 600 gallons Of Arkansas river water almost as
much 100000 gallons Of Spavinaw water will

The Arguments Against Spavinow.

In The Page organ Monday morning under the
title Of Bond Matter to Think About" dersive
attack was made upon Carl Magee and the character
of the logic of the attack Is in the reference to
him as "the Rev Carl"
An appeal was made to class prejudice by de-
clarng that the members Of the Ozark club are be-
hind the agitation for Spavnaw in order to build
fishing resort. The dam Is seven miles below the
Ozark club and the club owns no land at all in the
Spavinaw region.
The Morning Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Okla.) 1919-1927, 1919-07-01
Is the Cost Prohibitive?

The cost Of Spavinaw water delivered to the
faucet is 80 per thousand gallons. On the basis Of
100000 gallons that will make a total annual
operating cost Of the plant and water system
$li2,35O. Add TO this the cost of retiring the bonds
and paying interest on the 100000 bond issue.
The average yearly cost for the interest and sinking
fund over period of - years will be $33l 900 as
the interest the first year will be S23750O and will
decrease $l25OO each year thereafter. This makes
the total cost of the Spavnaw project for the first
25 years Of it's existence Si37350 annually. After
the bonds retired the cost will be only that OF
operation.
The average charge for water in Tulsa today is
l5 cents per thousad gallons. Residences pay min
mum rate of 20 cents per thousand gallons but
ndsrial plants and large consumers get lower rates
making the average charge about 15 cents
If the city charges no more for Spawnaw water,
on the rate Of 100000 gallons the revenue to the
city from the sale Of water will be $5i7,5OO an cx-
of $i,250 over the total cost of operating the
plant and paying for the bonds

What Would Shell Creek Cost?

Shell creek has an area Of about 26 square miles
and rainfall Of about 3G inches in normal years
and in dry years the rainfall is little 81 inches
Spavinaw has an Of i05 miles and a normal
rainfall of "A inches which has never been less than
36 inches. The Page organs declare that Spaynaw is
not adequate with 10 times the area and one and "A
half times the rainfall of the Shell creek basin, but
that Shell creek is adequate.
At the most Shell creek can supply 100000 gal
Ions Of water daily which is hardly enough for Tulsa
today and totally inadequate for the Tulsa Of few
years hence.
But suppose 10y some mysterious hoSus-pokus
means Shell creek could supply all the water Tulsa
needs The cost per thousand gallons 10 the city
reservoir would be cents, according TO an uncon-
fmcd report of offer Page rs said to have made.

Growth Will Add to Costs.

AS time goes on the cost of Arkansas river water
and Shell creek water assuming for illustration that
Shell creek supply the city it grows will
grow in total cost. Spavnaw water will increase in
total cost only slightly for while 100000 gallons
will cost $2t2,350, the cost for 2O0000OO gallons
will be only $4,000 increase Of only 30 per
cent in cost Tor double the quantity Of water
These are cost facts. Spavinaw watcr will cost
less than either the Arkansas river Shell creek
water and the $5OO00OO bonds will be provided for
from the revenue of the water department. And, IL
will give you supply of water beyond question as to
quantity and quality.
The Morning Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Okla.) 1919-1927, 1919-07-01

And TO this the cost OF publication, distribution
pumping and fration, and the total cost per thou
sand gallons will be 1913 cents.
The annual cost Of Shell creek water to the city
on n consumption basis of 10000 600 gallons will be
$i66,47O. Ihfs sum would be paid for a poor.grade
water known to be polluted with typhus germs. as,
determined by an analysis Of Shell creek water
made about n year ago when Il group of high school
boys were poisoned while camping at Shell creek
This water could be purified a. to be fit for in
dustrial purposes but would. be unfit for drinking
purposes and 10 this cost must be added the cost Of
bottled water which is at least $3.50 600 a year and
one water company is today rising the price of
bottled water from 25 to 30 cents bottle, or 40
per cent
The annual cost Of Shell creek water will be- there
fore $l2l0,000, or nearly three times the cost Of
