The report of Engineer Copeland upon the cost of making improvements at the powerhouse will be found published in full upon another page. Mr. Copeland shows that necessary additions to the electric lighting and water plants will cost $40,000. It is the intention of the city trustees to call an election to issue bonds in sufficient amount to cover these improvements. The statement that the cost of these improvements may be obviated by leasing the lighting plant to the Edison company, is the veriest bosh, a palpable absurdity. At best, if the lighting plant were acquired by the Edison people, the city would still have the water works to deal with, and an inspection of Mr. Copeland's report will reveal the fact that a considerable portion of this expense is due to the water-works account. Among these items are one of $9500 for a nationally expended for light streets? These are a few many questions that might ed of the monopoly before people would give even a thought to making a change talk of saving money to the payers by turning the muity over body and soul to son monopoly is hot air very poor quality of that thing at best.

The article should rused attentively by our California sends east large money annually for eggs and try which should be kept During the year ending June last upward of 17,000,000 of eggs and poultry were into the state. The price in San Francisco was no fourth higher than in New and Chicago. Having the tage of climatic condition ornia poultry men should every advantage over the farmer, yet we are sending out of the state annually for products. The article is one, and is full of interest. It is all very well to cite ample of owners of pumping who obtain power from th bosh, a palpable absurdity. At best, if the lighting plant were acquired by the Edison people, the city would still have the water works to deal with, and an inspection of Mr. Copeland's report will reveal the fact that a considerable portion of this expense is due to the water-works account. Among these items are one of $9500 for a new engine and generator; one of $8000 for a new steel tank and frame, $1000 for deepening the well-pit, $5000 for enlarging the distributing system, $3700 for erection of new building, and so on. True, the cost of the engine ($9500) may be divided between the water and electric lighting system; but a perusal of the figures in Mr. Copeland's report will establish the fact clearly that more than half the proposed expenditures must be charged to the water-works. Suppose we lease to Edison, what shall be done with these improvements? One might infer from the fulsome laudation of the monopoly that, in the generosity of its heart, it would install them and present them to the city free of cost. The truth of the matter is that the municipality, as we have shown in these columns, has outgrown the capacity of its water and lighting service. The works are in excellent condition, but both these public utilities are being pressed to the utmost of their capacity. People are applying for water connection weekly, and the municipality is incapable of granting them. These requests come mainly from outside the territory now covered by our water mains, and new pipes will have to be laid. The amount of water pumped at present is larger by 20,000 gallons daily than ever before, yet calls for new connections come in weekly; and this demand must soon be met or the It is all very well to cite ample of owners of pumping who obtain power from the company as being worthy oflation by this municipality; power from the company, away with bond issues!" told. But who paid for these plants in the first place installed them? Who went in his jeans to produce the withal for their erection? Of these plants cost $5000 it necessary only to lease from Edison in order to raise large volumes of water to face? As the farmer paid for him so will the city have to pay larging the power house, we lease power from the company or not. And comes to purchasing and ing this new machinery, to be free from all entangleances with any lighting whatsoever. We want to work ourselves. Municipal ship has been a success community, and with enli cilities to meet the consta cumulating calls for seri success will be still more in the future. No Edison us, thank you.

Lack of fin terest in games played here These requests come mainly from outside the territory now covered by our water mains, and new pipes will have to be laid. The amount of water pumped at present is larger by 20,000 gallons daily than ever before, yet calls for new connections come in weekly; and this demand must soon be met, or the city will suffer in consequence. So far as the lighting plant is concerned, while it is true that the machinery is being worked to almost its maximum capacity, yet the plant may serve the needs of the city for some time to come; but the water question presses for consideration, and presses hard. Again, if the Edison company should acquire the lighting plant, how long would it be before the company would be clamoring for new machinery, and who would foot the bills for this machinery? Who would select it, and would the selection be made with a view to subserving the interests of the corporation or those of the municipality at a later date, when the works should again revert to the city? These questions suggest a maze of conflicting interests between the two bodies, from which the taxpayers shirk with dread. We want none of it.
