TflE HUTCHINSON NEWS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1921 ROBERT M'KELVY WRITES ABOUT PURCHASE OF THE WATERWORKS. with him after visiting his prandpar-ents for several months. W. H. Hill of Westmoreland, editor of the Westmoreland Recorder, and representative in the legislature from that district, writes he is coming to Exceptional Offering in Women's Footwear set their charges high enough to cover the fair and will bring a party-with him.

School opened last week at Medford the whole thing. Now, I don't know but all this is all right There" must be something wrong, however, with the present company's statements as to the expense attached to this water service. Mr. Union school No. 5 with J.

W. Duer, principal; R. H. Ward, of Fall River, and Miss Isabel Lawrence as teachers. Jilditor News: Referring to the fact that the people of Hutchinson are soon to decide on taking over the water supply for the city and running it as a public ownership project, or else let the present company continue to do the work at a greatly Increased charge, I would like to submit a few remarks.

pecial Sale of High and Low Shoes There is a kindergarten department of fourteen in the school. Miss Nadine Embree, teacher of the 5 grade at Avenue A. schooj has been given a ten weeks' leave of absence to complete certain work in A normal school. Her place will be filled by a substitute teacher. Miss Elizabeth Condell, the school nurse, is driving around in her Ford coupe purchased by the board for her work.

It will give her an opportunity to cover much more territory each Quillin insists that he is not a crook, so we are at a loss to know where, the trouble We happen to know that at Sterling, where the city pumps its own water, the people are served for 50 cents as a minimum, and at Lyons the charge is 60 cents a month. In Hutchinson we have to pay one dollar, "and the company has served us notice that if it continues the job we will have to pay a dallar and seventy-five cents. Now, what I would like to have I see Sir. Nelson has written opposing the public ownership pla'n and given his reasons for his views. He advises a careful study of the subject before taking action, but that is just what Mr.

Nelson seems to have omitted to do.TlIe says the bonds we would have to issue to buy the plant would have to draw possibly six per cent interest. Well, we have to pay eight per cent for every cent the water company "has in that Plant now. someone tell me is why, in the name of a long-suffering public, does it cost nearly four times as much to pump and distribute a gallon of water in which leaves two per cent in favor of public ownership. Here is the way the utility companies do. business with the people: The day.

Asa Durham, of Turoff, has returned from service in the regular army in Alaska. He has been in the army for two and a half years, and received his discharge due to the reduction of the army force. A new ruling. has been made by the State Fair board granting-anyone the privilege of purchasing entry tickets Hutchinson as it does in Sterling. The water company's advertisement company furnishes the money to put and equip the plant.

Then they in The News is misleading, but they could no doubt explain the apparent charge enough to pay all of the oper mis-statement away. The people of ating expenses, clerk Hire, repair Hutchinson believe in fair nlav now. gangs, meter readers, overseers, ind would be willing to pay for any to the fair grounds at any time from this on. Heretofore such tickets could only be purchased after the fair has opened. Ford county will have all exhfbit of agricultural products at the state fair.

It is being collected by Harry C. Baira, county farm agent at Dodge City. It bosses, under-bosses and bver-bosses, all of which is legitimate, sojar as I know, Thejj they lay aside six per cent to cover wear-out, (depreciation, I believe they call it); anyhow, they could build a new plant every sixteen years from this six per cent. The public the taxes, too, in the guis, of expense. And if there Is anything else" that can be classed under expense, the public takes care of that, too.

Then they compute the eight per cent on their entire investment and service at cost. But I think we should have a chance to Iodic in when anybody is figuring the expense we have to pay. There is one thing I would like to mention further, that extensions are not expenses and cannot be so classed. If a company puts In a great many extensions it has just that much more property. Yours truly, ROB'T.
