INCREASE IN WATER
A1ESPROTESTEp
Proposed Extra Tax on D. c.
Consumers While U. S. Gets
Water Free Discussed.

An additional reason why the United
States should pay for the water 1t
uses at rate at least as high as
charged private consumers in the Dis
trict is advanced today by students OF
District finances. The argument is
presented at this time in opposition to
the proposal of the House. as inserted
in the annual District appropria ton
bill to increase water rates to private
consumers 25 per cent.
Under the present plan. 1t is pointed
out. the United States pays nothing
for the 100000 gallons of water
which it uses daily. 1t has been
argued that the United States govern
ment should not be compe He'd to pay
for it's water because of the large in
vestment which it has in the water
system.
That reasoning might be logical. it
is contended. il the United States had
made all the capital investment.
Investment by Consumers.
AS a matter of fact. it is alleged,
the private consumers have invested
more money in the water system than
has Uncle Sam. According to the fig
ures compiled by experts Of the wa
ter department. the United States has
invested about $7.50o.o00 in the water
system. including the aqueduct; the
District government about $3,600.o0
and the water department with
money paid by the consumers as wa
ter rent and applied to planD. $9.230,-
900.
If the United States is entitled to
free water on the basis of its invest
ment. it is contended. why are not the
District consumers entitled to free
1f hat -
ment. which is even larger than that
of the United States?
Inasmuch as money is needed for
maintenance and extensions of the
water system, it is admitted. water
rent or other taxes must be collected.
Therefore, as the United States has
no larger-in fact not as large-an
investment in the water system as
the citizens of Washington. it is ar
yued that Uncle Sam should pay at
least as high water rent as any other
user.
L. s. Once "sole Proprietor"
At the start. the United States was
the sole proprietor of the water sys-
tenn. If that plan had been continued,
tive of the United States, could make
the individual consumers in Washing
ton pay any water rent it saw fit But
that plan was not followed. Congress
forced the District of Columbia in as
a part owner by compelling the Dis
trict to pay for extensions and en-
iarRements. including the Lydecker
tunnel. and has used the water rent
money collected from individual con-
sumers for extensions.
To REQUIRE Uncle Sam and the Dis
trict government to pay water rent
the same as any other consumer. as
is contended would be fair and just
would raise the water revenues of the
District at least the 25 per cent which
the House has proposed to take from
the pockets of the individual con-
SumerS.
