PERSIAN sALEsMEK

In Teheran are aristocratic shoe shops where the styles of Europe are America are copied from illustrations in catalogues that have somehow or other found their way out there. These shops have glass windows and req doors and they display their goods ir a way thought to be truly Parisian. The glass windows, though the panes aresmall, must have cost a deal of money i. for glass is almost unknown to Persia.
 The master shoemaker stands proud CT with the greeting."An that I have ly at his door and welcomes a custom is yours-my shop and all it's goods. 60 But once the prospective customer is inside the door the shopkeeper forgets to be the Frenchman of the Orient and the bargaining methods of the East begin.
 The customer is assured that the price asked is half the actual cost. while all the time a quarter of the sum named would buy the goods.

IS taxes, licenses and salaries, alone will amount to $10oO0 per year, and this will more than take care of all betterments and extensions it may be necessary to make, as it is certain that the water company has not spent one-fourth G4) of that amount on an average in extensions and betterments since 1904 up to the present time.
 The normal growth will more that take care of the costs of all better ments, extensions and depreciations. One hundred additional fire hydrantS are now needed in the city for the pro tection of the houses and property of , our people. The installation of these would cost not exceeding S3,500, but under the present contract with the water company the city would have to pay as rental for these hydrants $50 each per year, 130 per cent per annum on the investment of s3,5o0. FIRE HYDRANTS i eff the city owned the plant, it could install all the fire hydrants needed, and save this rental, in fire hydrants rental alone the city would save in IA years on 200 hydrants $14O,00O not counting the interest on the money. or in 10 years s100,000, which would re- tire nice bunch of bonds-further- rlore the installation of these addition al fire hydrants would result in large saving on insurance, as the better fire protection we have the less our insur- ance rates will be.
 The water supply from Hawkins Spring will be ample to care for our needs Tor the next 10 years, at our present rate of growth, and there are other well-known sources of supply within easy reach, that can be had when needed, and al reasonable cost.
 LOCAL INDUSTRIES
 TT we owned this plant, we would be in position to offer inducements to manufacturers to locate in Bes- semer by giving them cheaper water, and thus build up our city, and add to the income of the plant. You will see from an examination of the income and expense of this plant from 1904 to December 31, 1919, that while the net income has increased from SS,000 to S5S,000, or more that than to L the expense has increased from only sl1,- 0OO to $32,0O0 or less than 3 to 1.
 should the water company continue to operate at tie present rates for the next IA years, and it's earnings con- tinue to grow at the same rate as for the past 16 years, it should have a gross income of not less than $15O, 900 per annum, and a net income of not less that $100, 900 per annum and would be worth a s1.00o,0oO based on it's earn ings.
 NET EARNINGS
 Mote the fact that the net earnings for 1919 were $58,0O0 at this rate, the city will have paid into the Alabama Water company in the next 14 years up to the expiration of their contract $S12,000 sum in excess of the ar bftrated value of the plant of $155,015- the arbitrated, value being $655. .9S5. Why should the city pay the Alabama Water company this $155, ,0l5 in ex- cess of the arbitrated value and at the end of the contract the Alabama Water company still own the plant?
 After careful consideration we are of the opinion that it will be for the best interest of the city and it's citizens to buy the plant, and we sub init this for the consideration of the vcters.''
