One representative said he would antee to pump water year as against y the Bismarck Water Supply Co. to the Hughes Bleetrie Co. Another representative of an engine company figured cost joi buying current on the basis of -expected increase in water consumption when the city owns the plant at $15,576.00 a year. Cost per r with Wiesel en- rine, $1,382.00, a saving of $4,- 194.00. If one operator only is figured and 5 percent deprecia- tion used (as many contend wouid be plenty high enough) the annual saving to the city would be increased to $7,044.00. One representative offered to put in oil engines and let them pay for themselves in saving, without the city investing a cent. One guarantee of actual and large saving and declarations by others of marked reduction in the cost of], pumping water in Bismarck were promised the city commission last night, sitting’ with the citizens’ gommittee to consider the qu bf Diesel oil engines for furnishing power to pump the water in the new city-owned plant, and to receive pump bids. The savings amounted to several thousand dollars a year, as figured by the various salesmen for the Die- sel and semi-Diesel engines. Hint was given that the Hughes Electric Company might seek to the rate on electricity for pumping water in an effort to forestall pur- © of .the city’s own power plant the water works, but at reduc- tions hinted salesmen for the oil cnginesideclared the city still would ve by installation of its own lesmen told of oil power plants ingmany water plants in cities of the Northwest and one of installation of the plants by big concerns in Chi- cago who found they could produce electric power cheaper than the rates offered them by the electric power plants there, which are low> er than in Bismarck. No action was taken in the meet- ing last night. The commission will meet tonight, Engines Explained The Diesel Sng emt Diesel en- gines were explained in detail by spokesmen for four companies. The engine, of foreign origin and manu- facture, burns crude. oil, is declared almost fool proof and of such effi- , ciency that it effets a saving that cannot be duplicated in any other way. C. D. Morton of the Fairbank- 1’ Morse Company, which has made in- stallations in North Dakota, was the first speaker, “The high point of the matter seenis to be whether or not the in- stallation of the oil engines would be economical,” said Mr. Morton. “I contend that there is a saving well worth the investment of $17,000.” Water pumped in Bismarck in 1922 was over 243,000,000. The wa- ter paid for was 162,000,000, the dif- ference being due to flat rates, leak- age, etc. Mr. Morton figured on 200,000,000 million gallons pumped. The water company paid the Hughes Electric Co. $9,226.70 for pumping. :There was a minimum rate on the Abooster pump of $1,272.00. The aver- age daily run of pumping was six to 16 hour runs, 5 Mr. Morton said the Fairbanks, Morse company would guarantee, under present conditions, to pump the water for $2,496.00 as against 1$9,226.00 paid the Hughes Electric “Company. 4 Figuring on the new equipment with 44,000 gallons actual daily con- sumption on the basis of a 5 1-2 hour run, the annual cost of pump- ig at the present electric rate was fgured at $7,647.74, and by oil en- gines $2,285.55. Mr. Morton included a 12 percent overhead, 6 percent for interest and 5 percent for depreciation, figuring the life of the pumps at 20 years. On a $17,000° investment the city would still be $2,000 a year ahead ofethe game; ~ Would Install Free city is afraid to take a If the chance on, the equipmeht, he said, “the company would instal}. the en- gint@_on a lease plan, whereby the engines would be paid for out "6?!

The chief executive has selected taxation as the subject of the ad- dress he will make in Salt Lake City, largely because of Utah being the home state of the chairman of the senate finance committee, Senator Smoot. Thus the president will de- fine further the views of his admin- istration on national questions. One of the features of the Presi- dent’s trip little known to the pub- lic he has addressed but which has. been the subject of considerable com- ment among members of his party, including the President, is the achievement in telephone engineer- ing daily demonstrated. The special train has a special telephone system of its own, which immediately the train comes to a stop in larger cen- ters is connected with a special switchboard in the city. From this switchboard lines previously have been extended to the Presidential quarters, to the hotel, to the head- quarters for newspaper men, to the press association offices ang to the various points in the cities where the president makes stops. Thus the whole party may keep in touch with each other and on two minutes notice establish communica- tion with Washington and the east. * REACHES OGDEN Ogden, Utah, June 26.—President Harding and his Alaska bound party arrived in Ogden at 8:45 o'clock this morning and 15 minutes later left by automobile for Salt Lake City.
