The city had spent $15,000,000 to construct water works now worth $20,000,000. The nnnnal expendl. tore was $3,000,000 ; the revenue was ,500.- 000 , leaving I net Ilront of $00,000 , part of \vhleh went to pay the interest on the 10'est. ment and the remainder was applied to cheapen the cost ot the article to the people. The price of gas to consumer ball been reduced - duced from $ to G cents per 1.000 feet , The gas was of better quality and more men were employed ! In its production , antI at better Wages than under the former system. The sentiment In favor of munlclpnlzlton hat grown so strong that 200 authorities owned theIr own gas and water works and not one of them hat ever gone back to the private monopoly syslem.
