Editor and Publisher f Thursday. October 3. 1929 THIS WATER QUESTION Not everyone understands that the Syracuse Water Co., bought by the Independent Water Corporation under the acts ot 1921, is now operating under the regulation of the Public Service Commission of Indiana. It does not levy taxes, through the action of the town board, foi the extension of the water mains or for the use of the water. But it does charge rent at the rate of S3O per year, for ‘each fire hydrant. Therefore, when anyone pays a water tax, it is foi fire protection, not for any indi vidual use to which any one may put the town water. The water receipts hich are collected* by the corporation are divided into three funds: watei maintenance, bond redemption and depreciation!. The bond redemption fund takes 68 f < of the yearly receipts This seems rather high at first glanec, but upon anylizing it. it is found that approximately SI,(MM) a year is being paid off on the old bond issue, and $750 on the new issue. This ne issue was taken out when the new well was dug. There is a $20,000 bond issue against the water works bearing 6‘ < interest. After the two funds are provided for. there is no surplus. Which is the best policy th pursue; to keeep up the watei plant, or to dig and put down new mains? It might be possible that the town could borrow money on their present equipment and this sum be used for putting down new mains; or the rates could be raised, to raise sufficient money; or water meters could be installed. The last seems to be the fairest method to all concerned, with more money coming into the treasury people living within two blocks of the standpipes cjuffrh have water if they wished to pay for it as they used it. V Excepting this one defect/ that all the people desiring/ water cannot get it, this town of Syracuse can be.proud of its system for it is oneTof rhe cheapest operating plants in the state. .
