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

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

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

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

$208,01200. Tljo July intoi
amounted to $170,000 , and after r

the fund on Monday last was 3

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

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.

it must keep up the water oflico , koi

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

Of course no money can bo born

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

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' '

As to the proposal of Messrs" Hale ,
Jowlea and Pike , to erect l\igh-pres'

ho water it wants in coses of lire ,
charges the same for their water thai

option of buying the works after t
