FINANCE STATUS
0FWATERW0RKS|
HAS IMPROVED,
Total Amount Of Money on
Hand Greater-$11,0OO
in Bonds Retired

Improvement in the financial
status Of the city waterworks for
the year ending June 30, 1927. as
compared to the year ending June
80, 1925, is shown by the report Of
Myron Atkinson, waterworks man
ager.
The department had on hand June
80, $9,097.62 general cash and $4,000
in cash in the sinking fund or a
total Of $24,097.62 as against Sl0,-
274.01 general cash and S2,O66.96 in
securities or a total of $12,340.97
June 30, 1926 and as against cash
overdraft Of $1,339.93 June 80, 1925.
Retire 900 in Bonds
The department paid interest on
both the first and second issue Of
bonds for the waterworks and retired
$1,000 Of the first issue during the
fiscal year ending June 80.
A net income Of $13,698.26 is
shown for this year, as compared to
$l1,796.71 for the year ending June
80, 1926. This is an increase Of
approximately $1,000.
For the retirement Of the bonded
debt, the amount of $23,410.S5 was
available as against $23,l87.71 for
the previous fiscal year. While the
net income was approximately $1,000
larger, there was only slightly over
5000 more available for retirement
of the bonded debt because Of invest
ments in property.
The net amount Of water delivered
to the mains was 2O9,1S7,000 gallons.
The estimated amount of water
accounted for, excluding the water
used at fires, was 159,665,647 gall
Ions. This is loss in the mains Of
approximately 23.7 per cent, but this
percentage is low considering the
age Of part of the system, Atkinson
said, pointing out that throughout the
United States the average loss runs
from Is to 40 per cent.
On June 30, there were 1913
metered consumers, or 92.S per cent
of the total number, as compared to
1920 June 80, 1926, 9O.1 per cent, and
1904 December /, 1923, 1876 per cent.
June 80 of this year there were 1lo
flat rate customers; 1855, June 80,
1926, and 301, December !, 1928.
Advises Against Rate Reduction
Replying to the suggestion which
he said had been made by some tax
payers that reduction in rates be
made, Atkinson said he does not
think it advisable to consider any
cut until the sinking fund is up to
the point required by the contract
with the bondholders.
There is still a shortage of APP
proximately $4,000 in the amount
which should be in the sinking fund
for the retirement Of the second
issue Of bonds, Atkinson said. He
pointed out that the expense of
maintaining the old transmission and
distribution system, as well as the
other parts Of the system, can be
expected to increase each year.
"Unquestionably," he said, "parts
Of the system will have to, be re-
placed within few years and after
the sinking fund for the second issue
Of bonds is placed in proper con-
dition, a reserve should be set up for
repairing and replacing parts of the
old system"
The operating income for the
plant was reported as $74,547.59
and for June 80, 1926, as $72,249.1O 10.

ment which the church has always
exalted into the chief ceremonial in

This conceit grew up In a reveren-
tial age. when religion related itself
chiefly to the world beyond the
grave. But as religion is becoming
more and more matter of living
in the world that is, as we'll as or
perhaps rather than supernatural
existence in the world to be. the
process of transition will dwindle in
relative significance. Ebert Huh
bard says that a smoke stack is as
sacred as a church steeple- Booker
Washington declares that bath tub
Is as sacred as a coffin. They were
both unspiritually minded material

the nation for that matter, bury tao

unceremonial motive obscures the
economic waste. In case of the Ne

alley in poverty and want ,acnuin-
ulating all the while sumptuous in
surance for pompous funeral dis
play verges on the outer rim OF
absurdity.
Church and Fraternities Cooperate
The fraternities work in close
sympathy and affiliation with the
church.. The prominent minister is
called upon to Preach the annual
sermon when all of the pomp and
glory of the order Is on display.
The funeral always takes place from
the church where the minister has
the conspicuous role. Membership
in these orders is based upon end

ciples OF Christian creed. The church
and the fraternal orders are both
calculated to appeal powerfully to
the imagination of a simple minded
and highly impressionable folk.

Origin Of Two
"Spirituals"

WASHINGTON, D. CAS- related
by Mrs. L. Fountain (white) of Du-
rant, Okla, "Swing Low, Sweet Char
lot" and "Steal Away to Jesus" were
first written as sung by a Negro
called Uncle Wallace, who was a
slave in an Indian family in Okla
homa. fF
Indian missionaries who frequent
ly prevailed on him to sing these
songs in his sweet plaintive voice set
down the words and music as sung
by Uncle Wallace and sent copies
to the Fisk Jubilee Singers, who
were travelling throughout the coun-
try in the interest of Fisk Univer-
sity.
Two daughters of Uncle Wallace
lived near Wapanucka, Okla. In later
years representative of Fisk Uni
versity wrote them requesting their
photographs and sending them money
for a trip to Denison, Texas, to have
them taken. They also offered to
educate one of the daughters or
granddaughters, Lizzie Williams, one
of the granddaughter, went to
Nashville and remained one year at
Fisk, but could not be persuaded to
remain longer, and so lost the oppor-
.tunity for thorough education,
which had been offered her.
