of tho Council
Let
the People Oitouti the
Question Shall ths City
Own Them
Mala
Few If any will attempt to deny
that Fort Worth has as tine a rystcm
or wattrworks as any in the country
The builders had beforo them the ad-
vantage of tho experience of a vast
number or other
towns possessing a
variety of system and as n result
they were enabled toadopt that system
which had given tho moat ratUfactory
results llnananclally and practically
The pipe alono for our woiks coat in
the outset about 155000 the Dumping
machinery coat close on to 1000 aud
the total coat of the works could not
havo bcou far from SIBOOOO Blnce
tho eysem was Inaugurated over
twelve miles of mains havo been laid
and connections made for
nbout 800 consumers from whom tho
company receives an average annual
rental sf abont 20 putting tho
revenuo from this source say 10000
annum For
per supplies to the rail
ways the company receives 4000 a
year The city contributes 511000 a
year for 110 hydrants making tho re
celpta aggregate over 30000 annually
lhe
present pumping capacity of
the works Is amply suftlclent to sup
ply at least double the quantity of
water now furnished for all purposes
Tho bountiful Bupply is attested by
the fact that the company has
been very liberal placing practically
no restriction on the amount of water
used by the consumer It ke
ing no unusual ociurrenco
for parties to leave hydrants
open all night at certain seasons of the
year This Is mentioned merely to
show that tho source of onr water sup
ply is amply sufficient for present and
future needs with but noailnal extra
expenditure
Thk Gazktt would discuss sim-
ply thoexpcdlency of the purchase of
tho waterworks by the city Wo havo
been cited to that provision ofthe con
stitution which prohibits tho legisla-
ture from granting power to any city
or town to lend Its credit to or to be-
come a stockholder In corporations
We also know that tho legislature has
empowered aud does authorirts munic-
ipal governments to provide orcauso
to be provided too city wltti waUr to
make regulate and establish public
wells pump9 and cisterns hydrants
and reservoirs in tho streets
or elsewhere within said
city or beyond tho limits
thereof for the extinguishment of
llrea and tho convenience of tho inhab-
itants The constitutional inhibition
was tho result of Radical mlerulo and
wastefuluees aud recklessness and wo
doubt very much if any man who
voted for it in convention had any
thought but to prevent municipal aid
to railroads At any rato constitu-
tional or unoouHUtutiouul the city
now owns onehalf of tho stock in tho
watorworks and tho main question
U Bhould tho city buy the other half
Tills Is the question to bo settled aud
If our people conclude that It Is best to
mako the purchase doubtless a way
can be found to tlTtct It If tho city
owned all ho stock It would not bu
lending its credit to any individual
association or oorimratton or bo u
stockholder in such corporation
There would I o no etock or corpora-
tion or company Tho city would own
tho works and Hiub to able to pro-
vide water As to whether tho city
ahuuld own tho works or not Is tho
liu > ortant question aud to the solu-
tion of It our people should devote
tbemsolves with a consideration not
only of our present but of our future
needs and tho exnerieuco of othir
towns and cities In dhcuselugany
purcnase tho first question naturally
is What will It cot Tho next is
What Is it worth We can estlmato
the co t Tho works are bonded for
200000 tho city has psld about33000
fur a half Interest and without pro
Burning to assert what the owners
would ask for the other half Interest
we think It would bo khIu lo estimate
tho total cost at 76000 If the city
should Irsuo bonds to cover thin
amount the cntiro cost of tho water-
works to the city would be 276000 In
bonds on which tho annual intrrfst
would be at 7 per cent 10260
Tho value of the wiilstlo can be deter-
mined perhapB by coi slierlng what
tho city is compelled to expend an-
nually for hydrants now and what it
rnayhavo to expend in tho future by
examination of tho experience of other
cities and by tho annual earnings of
our works now and estimating what
they will grow to ho Tho annual
rnrnings of tho company aro now lu

To tho annual interest of 10250
must be added tho expense of ruunluir
the worksand this Tjik Gazbtti has
no mean of learning but euppoto it
was as much as 22 750a year the city
would pay out annually not a dollar
morcthau ltnow cxpendaforhydrantd
for the difference between 10260
interest aud the 31 OOOannual earn-
ings added to the 11000 annual ex
pense for tho bdrauts would meet
iho annual expenjo of 22500 if it
should be so much
The proposition thus narrowed dewn
Is w ill it pay Fort Worth toasatime
the pavment of 1275000 ten twenty
or forty years hence lu order tos cure
tho waterworktf The Gazettk has
examined tbo statistical tablet of more
than a thousand wtttrworks and
prints bflow enough of these to aflord
au Intelligent Idea aud comparison
Cure has been taken to select town of
about the tamo size and ualn exactly
theaamoMstrmofwalertupplyasFurt
Worth Of the fourteen answering to
these requirements It will bo teen that
there ore only three which do not own
their works An examination of tho
expense and receipts of the
waterworks in these towns will
bo most suggestive to men
who wlfh to view this mat
ter fairly and with an eye to tho fu
turo as will aa to tho present The
aunual profit ranges all the way from
about 85 per ctut to more than a
lltoueand per cent but this lost may
be due to ipcclal cure end the profits
