Consider Utilities As A Whole. ll is encouraging to hear from the civic aiifkorilies that now, f'tr (lie first time in Ihe history of. the city, the n"n- utilities are paying their way and oven providing a little profit. Hitherto the water detriment has been robbed to make a surplus for the Iwer and light and, while much has heen made of the de-pat intent that paid it way, little has hi-eu .said of (lie loes. The only way to treat them fairly is. In consider them as a whole. If there i a Jos5 on one it should he made tip liy Ihe other before considering il relation to taxation. . ' Must Look Forward To The Future. If a'ltrivote concern were handling thee utilities they would il was decide?! lo -make look forward to the enlargement of the plant and wofdd Vet aside minor repairs in ihe hall si a n-svrve fund with which lo begin the purchase of-hew eipiip-inent when il was found necessary lo enlarge the plants. That in jliidiiiel from the sinking fund for paying off the original investment. The time will' come before very long when "new equipment must be purchased and then it shrnlld lie done with-oui placing any burden 011 the cily. II will probably be found, however,, lhal this cannot be dour because when new plant u pal 111 it is usually operated at : his. Jut now the plant telephone, light and powers-are being oiieraled pretty much at llieir peak load. That means that jusl now they should be pay- nor Minstan11.11 profit. Directly the plants are enlarged there will be an unused surplus 011 which. there will be a loss. Nearly all plant lose money for a few years after heiiifr' installed. Usu ally they are largo enough lo allow for expansion-and the over-'j ne.ni on mis uiiiiscii portion 1 a iiraiu.ou ihe nuances. Telephone Should Be Paying Well. The telephone should be payiug well jut now, YA'e have been told on various occasions lhal we musMiave anew plant and have il immediately. However, we. have been able to dc without making-a change but, if what we were told wa true, we must be near the limit of expansion. In Hiat-case weMmuld be selling adde good profits to help pay for Ine iiistallalioitof the new plant and to cover the possible losscsViltiriiig the first year or Iwo of operation after -Ihe hew plant is installed.' A Idleness concern would do that. ' . - As a-telephone system increase in size it becomes unwieldy nud more difficult to handle lo advantage.

Little Different From Corporation ' There is UHle ndvaulnge lo be gained from owning our own utilities. u fnr as we have been able lo see. We are, however, Willing lo be shown. We pay for Ihe services about as much a they do in other places. Some are higher and some lower. We t.-et a somewhat similar service lo other places, speaking generally of Ihe power, light, telephone and waler. Oyer a period of years it is doublful if the system will chow a profit, and it may show a lo-. There is nlsn the danger of having a large number nf trivie employees taking pari in- civic politics. Set against this is the fnel that the people can have any kind of seryie they wish by paying for it, which might not be possible if the services were 'in private hands. There is aso the danger of a powerful corporation wielding loo great an iu-flip'.OcO in political lire, allhoiuih it is doubtful if lhal influence 'Vs ipnt H Hie influeiice or the civic owned plant. So far as the citizens are concerned Ihe privately owned plant would probably have given as good service and with less risk to the city However, we have the plants and we shall have to make Ihe best of them and .see lhal the citizens get the best possible service at the minimum cost. .Inst now they xcem to be doing well but thhre.is 110 lellmg how soon lliey may again tie made, 11 'burden on Ihe cily xhoiild Ihe management .become careless THE an.Y NEWS- For Your Health (PROGRESS MADE you should bur the best., : IN FAIR WORK 1!
