WATER COMPANY IS GIVEN SURCHARGE OF 7 PER CENT

Approval of a 7 per cent surcharge on water bills If the public service commission will allow the water company to continue using Its depreciation fund for Improvements and extensions, was given by the city council Monday night. The water works company was ordered several years ago to put a percentage of profits Into a depredation fund. This amount was approximately $6,600 a year. Instead of putting the $6,600 In this fund, the water company spent the money for improvements and extensions to the plant, in order to give the city better water service. About $32,000 has been expended by the company in improvements. If the public service commission authorizes the company to pay back into the depreciation fund, the money It has expended, the rate question must come before the council again, say eouncllmen. Increase in Capital? According to Howard Dill, if the commission makes the company keep the depreciation fund intact, it will be necessary to Increase capitalization from $850,000 to $875,000. "Howfever," said DM, "If the commission does not force us to pay back the money we have expended. Into the depreciation fund, we will be content to let our capitalization stand as it now Is, $850,000 and put the 7 per cent surcharge on all bills. If the public service commission should make the water company pay tack the money expended, into a dejweclation fund. It would necessitate an increase of Its capitalization, which would mean In the long run, a permanent increase of rates. City Attorney Byran Robblns, and Mr. Hendreich, an accountant employed by the city, to go over the status of the water company with Dill, submitted figures to the councilmen, Bhowmg why the increase should be granted. Since 1913, according to figures, the company has not come within 13,000 of earning the 64 per cent profit to which it is entitled, under the provisions of its contract On an average the earnings have fallen $2,204 yearly, said Dill, who was coroborated by accountant Hendreich.

It is generally and chiefly indicated by eruptions and sores, but in many cases it enlarges the glands of the neck, affects the Internal organs, especially the lungs, and if neglected may develop into consumption. It causes many troubles, and is aggravated by impure air, unwholesome food, bad water, too much heat or cold, and want of proper exercise.
