The value of the | ejty plant in 1898, the year it was ’ I constructed, was $71,144.51, and now it has a depreciated book value of $191,004.33. Mr. Harruff remarked, "y u can readily see that, being a municpally owned plant, free from Politics, you as citizens have increased your investment in the sum of $119,859.82, of which amount $64,-1 443.93, has been added within the last eight years and at the same j time you have received as good and probably better service at a lower cost than if your plant had Ireen privately owned.” In remarking about, the low cost of, water to the consumer, the superin-1 tendent said, "a cubic yard of water; is cheaper than a cubic yard of dirt. I You pay a nickel for a pottle of pop and for that same nickel we will deliver in your home at any hour, day ;or night. 115 gallons of this pure running water.” Mr. Harruff stated that the city ' water was examined every two weeks jby the state board of health and •hat the present supply was pure and . healthy.
