By City Engineer Atkinson The total cost of water to consum- ers from a new city owned plant is estimated by. the City Engineer to be! very much lower than at present. 'This estimate is based on the aver- and trusts that the sale can be set | aside, and that he so stated before | age cost over a period of five years, as it is believed that with a pure soft, clear wholesome water furnish- ed to consumers at this rate the in- crease in water consumption will be very material. Furthermore the city engineer feels sutisfied that after the new plant is in operation, the Board of City Commissioners will make a rate for the water used on lawns and gardens that will be so small that it will result in beauti- ful lawns, bountiful gardens and well kept parking strip and boulevards. Our park system can then be ex- tended and maintained, If the present rates of the Water Company are upheld by the ‘United States Court, I believe the annual saving to the,water consumer on a fifty foot lot from water consumed from a city owned plant will be suffi- cient to pay the ennual assessment against his lot. In addition to this he will have a pure soft, ‘wholesome water at all times that does not re- quire boiling at any sgason of the year and a water that can be used on his lawn without any danger of injury thereto, with a good pressure and ample fire protection. I be- lieve that within 20 years the en- tire cost of the plant and all de- preciation will be paid by the sav- ing! in water rates paid by the con- sumer and the taxpayers of the city will, own it free and clear. The natural location of Bismarck is such that with,a good cheap water supply, I believe we will have the most beautiful city in the state. .

Feel Some Relief 9—The anxiety ; here ‘for the fate of the Americans and other foreign nation- als held captive by the Chinese ban- dits in Shangtung province appear- ed to have been somewhat allayed today by the reports received at the state department from Minister Schurmann at Peking. The department announced yesterday that it had been advised by the American minister that the government had agreed to pay the ransom demanded by the bandits on resentations made to the prime minister by the Portugese Minister at Peking, dean of the dip- lomatic corps there. The govern- ment also, the department was in- formed, agreed to act as rapidly as possible in meeting the other de- mands made by the Portugese mi ister in behalf of the diplomatic corps at Peking. These demands were that in addition to immediate steps to obtain release of the cap- tives the government should conduct inquiry into the whole affair and take strong military action to put down brigandage in Shangtun. The Prime Minister was said to have stated that the government intend- ed to dismiss the civil and military governors of the province. The diplomatic corps was said to have informed the Chinese foreign office that it “reserved the right over and above any moral and material damages claimed ta demand a pro- gressive indemnity for every day after the twelfth of May that the foreigners remained captive.” WILL VISIT .
