If the citv's ownership of tho water plant has been of sufficient durntion to determine "where wo are at," it would not be a bad plan for tho 'council, tho water committee, or tho water com missioner to ascertain if it is possible to make a reduction in the present wntnr rates. As taxnavers. we are paying about $7,000 per year in interest; additional hydrant rontnl and flushing sewers; a sum that we wero not re quired to pay when the plant was owned by a corporation, and in addition we lost the tax paid by the corporation. In return for this added expense, wo should receive more than the mere satisfaction of owning tho plant we should get our water cheaper than when owned by the corporation. Tho meter is the equitable way of purchas ing water, and their installation should be made compulsory as quickly as pos sible, and though by thoir use it may not cost us any more than u"nder the flat rate, the fact still remains that we are paying $7,000 extra a year. We believe that tho city out of the earnings should accumulate and maintain u contingent or reserve fund to meet emergencies, but after that has beon provided, tho water should be furnished the con sumers at actual cost, and if possiblo right now is the time to ascertain that cost.
