I notice in ybur issue of yesterday the discussion of the Lindsay water works’ problem as to one of its side issues. The council have done wisely in recommending a settlement of the legal suit anent the $10,000 bonds: hut it would have been wiser for their predecessors to have guarded against the possibility of the company making them \‘alueless. They were not sharp enough for the Yankees. I also notice the saatement that the life of water works such as ours averages twenty years. The price set upon our works by the present owners would be $60,- 000 or 1110! e. But let us deal with lowest figure. If the works become worn out at the end of twenty years, the amount of deterioration for each year RH} J 'L '_ , $3000. If Lindsay would purchase the works and issue debenture}: 9*. 4}: for the amount of $60,000, the yearly interest on these would be $2400. Add to this the ex- pensesof Operating the plant, which item the owners, as a matter of busi- ness, have to an extent kept to them- selves, the purchase would mean for an intesest of 9% on $60,000. The cost of operating the plant would raise the figure considerably higher. I for- gdt the exact amount of the rental paid by Lindsay to the company, but I do not think that it represents more than the yearly wear and tear of the plant, running expenses and profits must come from private services. It would be business-like for our ratepayers to re- m;mber very clearly for somepfuture date that the life of a water works plant is on‘y twenty years, and therefore the wear and tear of the plant takes from it the twentieth part of its original value. I am sure that the present manager, Mr. Bigbie, will do the very best for his employers, and give as good a water service as possible; but would his position be as unfettered if he were employed by the town? It is a good thing for Lindsay that the Standard Lier Co. will not sell. I! the Co. means it, consumers will get a. better service all around.
