Minimum rate for half year, $500
These rates are based upon an ex-
haustive study of the conditions made
by the railroad commission of Wiscon-
sin, the results of which were given
in their report of April q, 1918. APP
plying this report to the conditions
that exist at the present time, it is
very evident that a revision of the
rates as outlined above is absolutely
necessary"
The petition Of the water board then
lists expenditures of the board. 1t
shows pumping expenses of $20,201.81;
distribution expenses of $5,127.65; gen
eral expenses of $4,953.36, and small
amounts as commercial and undistrib-
uted expense. The total direct expense
Of operation is placed at $33 APT 10.
These expenditures are for the half
year from July 1, last, to December
81.
The commission comments on the
operation expense as follows:
Comparing this cost with that for
the year 1918 and 1917, it appears
that the average increase of cost of
operation per year is about 25 per cent,
so that we may assume that the di-
rect expense of operation for 1920
will be about $66,s54. 0, plus Is per
cent, or S83, 567.75.
The fact that it was necessary to
increase the scale Of wages 15 per
cent on the entire pay roll, February
/, would show that it is safe to assume
this increase of cost of operation"
Another tabulated statement shows
that the total sales of water for the
same period amounted to $46,61180.
In regard to the amount of water
pumped, the report says:
Vast Amount of Water Used
1.-THE total amount of water as shown
by the meter readings is 81,348, 1877
cubic feet, of COS asa 39 gallons. The
Ventura meter on the discharge line
from the low lift pumps which pump
the raw water, show that the total
amount Of water pumped during the
period was 1,038, 100000 gallons and
the records for the filtration plant
show that 85,14s,OOO gallons were used
for washing filters, leaving 1,003,o71,-
600 gallons to be pumped by the high
pressure pumps into the distribution
system.
The record of the revolutions Of the
high pressure pumps would indicate
