Water rates from other cities in the
middle west show that packing houses
are paying from 3 to 7 cents a thousand
gallons for water, the latter rate being
at Chicago. Kansas City pays 4 cents.
St. Joseph, 4 cents; Milwaukee, i cents;
Chicago, T cents, while at Sioux City the
packers maintain their own system at a
cost of about S cents a thousand gallons.
Wynkoop Klerstead, Kansas City; Prof.
O. P. Stout, University of Nebraska, and
M. L. Holman, St. Louis, the three con
sulting engineers hired by the local water
board, say it Is Justifiable to raise the
present rate for water at the South
Omaha packing houses from 4H to 8
cents, and the packers are protesting
against this Increase. They aver that 5
cents at the most Is all the service is
worth to 'hem.
. At Sioux City the packers maintain
their own system, pumping the water
from wells near, the Missouri river at an
approximate cost of I cents a thousand
gallons. R. C. Howe, representing t4i
Armour plant, believes the South Omaha
packers can build a plant and pump their
own water on a similar plan for 4 cents
rather than submit to the proposed raise
to S cents.
An Individual System.
The stock yards and packing ' houses
consume an average of 7,000,000 gallons of
water dally, which is nearly one-third of
the amount pumped by the MInne-Lusa
station at Florence. At present the pack
ers have to equip their plants ' at' their
own expense with adequate pumping
service, as the pressure Is too low to
permit carrying the water to the killing
rooms and above the ground floors - in
the packing houses.
. Representatives of the South Omaha in
terests as well as the Water board agree
that some sort of a sliding scale should
be arranged and the matter settled with
out resort to the courts. A meeting for
the purpose of further considering the
case will be held the latter part of this
or early next week.
