G TEE OMAHA DAILY BEE : THURSDAY AUGUST 4 1881. CHICAGO'S SCHEME Tor Supplying Itself Wit Water , Some Interesting Facts fo Growing Towns , A IllnstrftUnR the Way They a ThhiRi In the Lnlicsldo City- IMItor OrnMm Itcc. For the benefit of thai portion < your subscribers living in Counc Bluffs , I beg you to reproduce th cutting from tlio "Times : " "J the city council of this city woul abandon its idolatrous worship of tli gentlemen from Now York , who com I . to them with n flourish of trumpet : " * * to spend millions in the erection ( trntcr works , for the benefit of th city hoping for nothing tliunifiulvc.se : cept the glory of being permitted. . i squander their wealth in the oructio if ) these water works , and devote tli money of the citizens to the crcctio ( } of works which they would then r i ; Chicago deus now own. It woul " appear o the v-Titor thai they woul be conserving the interest of the pet plo who elected them to their ollicei i < > a greater extent than the present methods will do. Tli r. artesian well sunk lately by M B. Conrad Geisso , would scoin to tl writer to indicate n way by which tl citizens of this place could bo ollecti ally , certainly and cheaply furnislu xrith'an inoxhaustnblo supply of pit ivntcr. Lot the council uovoto fi , three years annually the amount < money they will pay annually to tl water works' ' company , for all time , the sinking of artesian well a of a larj diameter and the laying of pipes , ar I venture to say'at the end of the three years this city will have a su ply of water practicably inoxhaustibl of the purest quality , entirely suf cicnt for the need of the city for year and have it all paid for with i mortgage on the property of the ci and its citizens. CILIZF.N From the Chicago Times : , There is a demand for a high-pro sure water service in the business po tion of the city. This demand is thrc fold the owners of water elevate and other hydraulic machinery cor plain that the city's water is not BUJ plied in a sufficient head for their pu purposes ; the fire department wan the assistance that a separata wat supply would afford , and the conve ienco that a high-pressure eorvic making every hydrant an engine ' considerable power , would supply ; tl citizens generally complain that tl largo volume of water used for watc engines impairs the efficiency of tl service in their homes and the places of business. The demand can bo supplied oith by the city or by a private corpoi tion authorized to supplement t ! municipal -water. The city engine is preparing specifications and es mates for the undertaking on the pa of the city , and a corporation h been formed and is now asking t ! city to bo allowed to do the woi Which of the two shall do it ? ( The citizens of Chicago constitute mutual water supply company. Tin have invested nearly G.000.000 in tl necessary plan ; more than naif of tli thep have already paid , and near $4,000,000 they utill owe. For tl maintenance of the work , they assc themselves such water rents as w pay all the operating expenses , oxtoi the works from year to year , keep tl capital investment 'good , pay the i tercst on the bonds , and redeem the as they fall duo. Thn business of su plying tlio city with water HAH I'llOVlUKPllOFITABU ; . AB the corporation does the work organized on the mutual and not < the stock plan , there are no dividon to declare , but every member of tl company gets his share of the prof in a reduction of his water rents. . present the earnings of the conco are expended in extending the wor and taking care of jlhu debt. If i works wore not extended the pro ! ) -would bo distributed in the shape ol reduction of the rents. After a f < years the redemption of the bon will leave the water oflico in posse session of a largo surplus , unless t rents are materially reduced , win will , of course , bo done as that is t only way in which the profits can divided among the owners of t ! works. How profitable the water businc is can readily bo soon from tho.last a nual reports of the city engineer 01 the comptroller. The water rents f 1880 actually collected during th year amounted to ? 823,103 18 , which sum is to bo added a balance the credit of the water oflico at t ! "beginning of the year of over half million , delinquent rents collect and other sources of revenue , nmki : a total income of § 1,425,239 55. 0 of this tlioro wore paid for oporatii and oflico expons'cs , repairs , shops ai stables 8200,33055. It will bo u served that the 11ETWKEN TUB WAT HKNT8 for the year and the cost of carryi on the works was moru than 8G50,0 ( Uosldea the cost of carrying on I works there was paid no less tli 9204,035 50 for the extension of I works , thatis. . for pipe-laying , mote hydrants , and stop-cocks. Furth more , there was paid in interest bonds $282,873 03and , $291,000 i 'expended in reducing the principal the debt. It must bo remembered that i water office is wholly distinct fr the other departments of the e government so far as its finances .concerned it takes nothing from tax levy ; it pays its own way , ji vides for its own interest , and ta up iU own bonds. . As all its rovon are collected from the water users , nil its promts are expended for onefit of the Bamo class. The balance to the credit of water fund at the end of last year $208,01200. Tljo July intoi amounted to $170,000 , and after r ing this the amount to the credit the fund on Monday last was 3 000. Tho.city council has docidoi buy two now puinpinu-onginoa wit capacity of fifteen million gallons a each. No tax will bo collected this purpose ) the engines will be pnl for out of the earnings of the watc ollice ; there is on lianaas _ just shown nearly enough < o do this at once. will take a couple of years to buil the engines , and by that time th earnings will have amounted t enough to pay for them and leav another largo accumulation on han to bo nppfied to the still farther o > tension of the works , or to the rcdu < tion of the rents , as may then I deemed best. But there is one portion of th water service that is is jioun ruoriTAiiLn THAN TUB nnsi A comparison of the water rents wit the total amount of water supplic last year shows that the city receive on an average a little less than $4 for each million gallons of water d < livcrcd. But for all water dolivcre through meters the city gets $80 pi million gallons. The meter systei includes all water used for clevatoi and other hydraulic engines , and fc I all water served to hoteln. The mct ( system is to bo found mainly in tl business portion of the city. Dunn the twelve months ending last Apr the city received for water deliverc through meters in that portion of tli South side that lies north of Va Huron struct $114,000. There woi at the end of last year 200 water eli valors in the city , and the city r < ceived during the year for water usi in oporatirm thcso elevators § 271 150 70. In May last there were ! { water elevators in that portion of tl South side north of Von "Huron stree and three elovat6rs wore usinc near two million gallons of water dail Water engines are rapidly increasing and it is estimated that during t ] coming year the city will receive fi water used for mechanical purpos in that part of the South side north Van Duron street 8100JOOO. The water service in the dowi town portion of the city is the mo profitable part of it , not only bccau the city gets a higher price for tl water , but because it ia obviously le expensive to supply n billion galloi in an area of one-half a square mi than to supply the same amount > water in an area of three square mile The city has determined to add tv pumping engines to the wcst-sii water-works , to bo engaged mainly i doing the least profitable part of tl water business the supply of wati in the residence part of the city , sea tored over a largo area , and neceas tating long pipe lines , for domost purposes. HHAIL IT CUVE TO A PRIVATE CORPOU. TION the privilege of doing the most profi able part of the work that of suppl ; ing water for mechanical purposes i the business portion of the city ? As stated above , the city is no supplying some two million gallons < water daily for elevator alone on tl south side north of Van Buron streo As the use of these machines is it creasing , it is within bonds to ossun that during next year it will supp ! ch'ht hundred million gallons < water for this purpose and in this di trict. It is believed in the water o fice that the rents of water for all in chanical purposes in this district tl coming year will amount to $100,00 which means 1,250,000,000 gallon Eight hundred million gallons of wat moans receipts at the water oilio $04,000. The cost of the doliverii water from the north-side works la year was $3G8 per million gallon This would make the cost to tlio cii of supplying water for elevators 01 year in the district designated $4,54 , leaving the city a gross profit of $59 450. True , the cost given above only the cost of operating the work it does not include repairs , oflico o : ponces , or debt charges. But so f. as this particular service is concern ) the gross profit , for the city lias i mams , and it must take care of thci it must keep up the water oflico , koi the engines in repair , pay the inture on the same amount of bonds , and i doom , ultimately , the same amount debt. All that thogcity can saro 1 not furnishing this water is the 1IA11K COST OF RUMl'INd , so that to put the whole thing in nut shell , it comes to this ; If tl city lots somebody else furnish th water it will save $4,514 in oxponsi and lose $04,000 , in receipts. Bi thcso figures give only n general idi of the efl'ucts on the finances of tl water ollicu that tlio establishment a private water company will 'Imv for thorn is no reason why a man li ing on the north side of the stro should buniod it. The establishing of private water works at a high prc sure than the city's works ailbn means that all water for mechanic purposes is to bo supplied bythe pi vato company , unless it is wanted so remote n point that the priva company can find no profit in suppl ing it , and in that case the city wou be permitted to do the work. Iho high-pressure service is noodo The use of water elevators is bccomii very common , and would become st more common if the water sorvi wcro satisfactory , There is a goi deal of light machinery that could 1 run with n water iiressure of six pounds , and would bo run with wore such a power available , th abating in a great degree TUB HMOKE NUIHAKL'U , But the pressure in the business pi of the city is now only twenty-two throe pounds , and there is great di culty in operating hydraulic elevate Lately several owners of buildii have put tanks on the roof and in t basement of their buildings , and w steam pumps force the water to top their buildings in order to got the i qutsito head , In this way the clmi for water is reduced because the sai water ii used over and over aga With a low pressure the power of t elevator is low , and more trips have bo made to do a given amount of wo this consumes more water and creases the nxppnse , It is pretty e dent that the city can not retain 1 Tiusinoss of supplying the motive po\ for water elevators unless it furnisl it at a higher pressure than at prcso The gontloinon who are Booking thority to establish private works sist stronoously on this when they told that the city ought not to abam the most profitable part of the w < it of Hupplymg water. They also ini that the establishment of their wo : will not reduce the income of the \ tor office BO much as the figures ready given indicate. In this art ! the authorities for the estimates jjivon , and if the figures are too h ir for the present , they will certainly far within the bounds in the ne.i future. The precise amount of wati now used for mechanical purposes i not essential to a correct understam ing of the question ; it is certain tlu amount is largo ; that it is supplied higher rato.of profit as compared wit water supplied for general purpose ! and as compared with the actual coi > f pumping the water , which is a hat the city can save by withdrawal voni the business , Hence it follov 'iat ' tlio withdrawal of the city froi 'rom this part of the water suppl , 'ould reduce the receipts in a f : realer degree than it would 'rcdui in expenses , and hence it would EIll'C'E THE AMOUNT OF THE Hl'ltl'M INCOME f the water olllco. On the othi and , it may bo conceded that the : hould bo the high-prcssuro servic , nd that at present rates this sorvii rould bo much less profitable than tl ircscnt service , because it would co great deal moro to give thoadditio : ressuro , and because at the high prc uro less water would bo needed tlu s needed at the presnnt pressure , nay bo farther conceded to the pr oscd water company that the ind miidont supply and the high pressu t'-mld materially increase the ellicic sy of the fire department in conti uncles that might arise. With its present works the city ci ot furnish this high-prcssuro suppl iVith an average head of a huiidri 'cot or n little more , the pressu lown town is but twenty-two or Hir > Diimls , To give sixty pounds tl icad would have to bo increased , f 11 the water served to the whole cit learly threefold. If it costsin rom numbers , $113,000 to raise the wat o its present head it would cost soin hing over $300,000 to give the i quired head. But this is on ossuin ion , which is not true , that the stan lipus and machinery would need i Iteration , and it ignores the scrio matter of leakage. Leakage is simp Heritable , and it is an element omo magnitude. To increase the ho if water threefold would bo to incrca ho leakage through hundreds of mil > f pipe ninefold. It is safe to s hat the high-prcssuro scrvicocan on 10 rendered by .N INDEPENDENT PU.MPINO ESTAI1LI8 MKNT nd independent pipes. Thoquestii ! s narrowed down to the one wheth ho city or a private corporation shou iuild these works. Were the city n Ircady in the water business ser priori objection might bo made he city's engaging in any kind business. But the city is already ho wrtor business ; it has a capital learly $9,000,000 invested in it , ai t has a bonded debt of nearly $4,00 ( XX ) to pay interest on , and ultimate o redeem. To abandon the me iroGtable part of the business to a ither concern is to depreciate tl 'aluo of its own investment , unless las got to go to a greater expense etain this part of the business tin ho profitableness of it warrants. The high-prcssuro works would co rom a quarter to half a million d < ars. The advocates 6f the priva : orporation say that it would requi .ho . latter of those sums to put iroper engines and large pipes ; ci flicials who are in a position to spot with authority say that adequn works can bo put in for the form sum. Allowing for the greater pi portionato increased expanse of doi work on a small scale , and for t iroportionatoly increased expense lumping water with a pressure ixty instead of twenty-three poum t will cost to pump water at the hi pressure , say , four times what it ni : osts to pump it , or $22 77 per inilli gallons. The present price is $ per million gallons. Out-of the d erenco would have to come all t iffico and other expenses and the * ] urn on the capital. A supply of tin trillion gallons a day for thrco hu drcd days in the yoir , would en $72,000. aud cost for pumping $21 448 , leaving $51.552 for all" other t lenses and profits. Allowing $15,5 'or repairs and general oxponsi .hero . would bo loft aa the return japital $30,000 , or 7.2 per cent. $500,000. 14.4 I'EH OJiNT. ON A QUAKTKIl OF MILLION dollars. The gentlemen who wn ' ; ho privilege of putting up wal Yorks are careful business men , a o beonthe'Rafe ' side they estinui t much smaller demand for wal rom their worku than nine linmlr nillions gallons n year , and no prof at all for a year or two. Doubtli .hoy are right in underestimating i itcad of overestimating the value ho business they propose to uiul ako. But if the city was roceivi n May at the rate of $ J8,000 a yet ir thereabouts , for water supplied I ilovators idono , and siiiiply in t district bounded by the river , t "ako and Van Buron street , and tl ; oo , when the water service was u satisfactory , the figures above giv would bo realized in the near ftitu The gentlemen who ro proposing ; o into the water supply business n n communication with a manufi turor who says he will coino to t ! city and establish a new business , a take two million gallons of watoi day , if he can got it at sixty pour pressure , and at a * low rate. This mentioned merely to show the po : bilities of this business of supplyi water ui a high pressure. It was stated u little while ago tl the question was narrowed down whether the city or a private corpo lion should build the proposed wor Really the question is narrower tli that. The promoters of the priv water-works scheme says that the c ought to do the work , but if the c will not supply what is demand private citizens should be allowed do so. The question , therefore , narrowed down to WHKTHEU THE CITY 18 ABLE TO IO 1 WOKK. Of course no money can bo born ed , for the constitutional limit of I municipal debt has boon reached ; spreading the cost of the works o two or throe years the expense mi ; bo provided for in the general app nriation bills just as the cost of i Bridgeport works was provided foi the last appropriation bill. To this money would have to bo tul that is needed for other purposes ; would pay Peter only by robb 1'nul , The thing can bo done , hi over. But it is far from certain t the expenses could not be mot fr the earnings of the water ofiico. is true that these earnings are already charged with the cost of the two on- gi cs it has been decided to add to the west eido ptnnpiiijj-works. Tlio water oflico has now to its credit the sum of $313,000 , or very nearly enough to pay for the two new engines and tlio cost of enlarging the engine- Inuse , and it will bo two years before iio payment f f this. > yord will have o bo completed. During tlicso Iwo eara the earnings of the water oflico fill go on accumulating. Last year lie difference between the cost of carrying on the water-works plus the ntcrest payment i and the current ovonuo of $920.000 , which d cs not nchido the total receipts of the office , vas $432,000. For two years , not al- owing for any increase , it would bo " 801,000. True , this is not all net refit , as thcro are somp other expon- es to bo taken out of it , and not all ho act of profit would bo available or the erection of now works , as the est of pipu extunlions is taken out of ho earnings of the office. But it is isrtainly close to the facts to say that ho city might erect the high-pressure pumping , works ) t'T OK KAItNIXdl ALUKAPV ACCUMU LATED n the water ollico , and pay for the twc low Westsidu engines out of the carti ngs of the cilice , available for that mrposo , between the present time anil ho time when those engine's go intc jperation. It is assumed hero that the charge 'or high-pressure service would bo the same that it now is for the relatively "ow-prcssuro service ; but'if business nun can afford to pay $80 per million gallons for water at less than thirtj ) ounds pressure ( and thcro would be 10 complaint of the service wore il lone at two or three pounds lessV .hoy could afford to pay considerably nero for water at the proposed preS' sure of sixty pounds. The cost of tin "ligh pressure service would bo mucli jreator than than that of the present Boryice. Water is cheaper hero thai : t is anywhere else. While Chicagc charges only 8 cents for a thousand rations , Louisville and Cincinnati ilmrgo 15 cents. Providence and Bos' ' .on charge 30 cents , and the average charge made in forty cities in thii country and Canada is.about 29 cents , 3ut the fact that capitalists are willing o do the work at the rates now sharped by the city , besides giving .ho . city as much water as the fire-on ; ines want , shows that the present lo\\ ates need not bo increased to maki ho two ends meet. As to the proposal of Messrs" Hale , Jowlea and Pike , to erect l\igh-pres' sure pumping-works , give the city ai ho water it wants in coses of lire , charges the same for their water thai , ho city docs , and give the city thi option of buying the works after t loriod of years at a valuation , it may ) o said that if the city will not or can- lot build these works itself , this plan s probably the next best thing.
