sHURSDAY; OCTOBER 6, 1927 ‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE FINANCE STATUS OF WATERWORKS ‘Junkers Plane Forced HAS IMPROVED! Total Amount of Money on Hand Greater—$11,000 in Bonds Retired Improvement in the financial status of the city waterworks for the year ending June 30, 1927, as compared to the year ending June 30, 1926, is shown by the report of Myron Atkinson, waterworks man- ager. The department had on hand June 80, $9,097.62 general cash and $15,000 in cash in the sinking fund or a total of $24,097.62 as against $10,- 274.01 general cash and $2,066.96 in securities or a total of $12,340.97 June 30, 1926 and as against a cash overdraft of $1,339.93 June 30, 1925. Retire $11,000 in Bonds The department paid interest on both the first and, second issue of bonds for the waterworks and retired $11,000 of the first issue during the fiscal year ending June 30. Z A net income of $13,698.26 is shown for this year, as compared to $11,796.71 for the year ending June 30, 1926. This is an increase of approximately $1,900. ‘or the retirement of the bonded debt, the amount of $23,410.85 was available as against $23,187.71 for the previous fiscal year. While the net income was approximately $1900 larger, there was only slightly over $200 more available for retirement of the bonded debt because of invest- ments in property. The net amount of water delivered to the mains was 209,187,000 gallons. The estimated amount of water accounted for, excluding the water used at fires, was 159,665,647 gal- lons. This is a loss in the mains of approximately 23.7 per cent, but this percentage is low considering the age of part of the system, Atkinson said, pointing out that throughout the United States the average loss runs from 16 to 40 per cent, On June 30, there were 1518 metered consumers, or 92.8 per cent of the total number, as compared to 1420 June 30, 1926, 90.1 per cent, and 1094 December 1, 1923, 78.5 per cent. June 30 of this year there were flat rate customers; 155, June 1926, and 301, December 1, 19: Advises Against Rate Reduction Replying to the suggestion whic! he said had been made by some tax- payers that a reduction in rates be made, Atkinson said he does not think it advisable to consider any cut until the sinking fund is up to the point required by the contract with the bondholders. There is still a shortage of ap-| proximately $6,000 in the amount which should be in the sinking fund for the retirement of the second issue of bonds, Atkinson said. He pointed out that the expense of maintaining the old transmission and distribution system, as well as the other parts of the system, can be expected to increase each year. “Unquestionably,” he said, “parts of the system wil have to»be re- placed within a few years and after the sinking fund for the second issue of bonds is placed in proper con- dition, a reserve should be set up for eign and replacing parts of the old system.” The operating income for the plant was reported as $74,547.59 and for dune 39, 1926, as $72,249.10. Ten Pay $1 Each For Lesson on Observance of Traffic Ordinance Having established a “school of instruction” in the headquarters of the police department, Police Mag- istrate J. M. Belk and Chief of Po- lice Chris Martineson are now. en- rolling their first pupils in the course on traffic ordinances. The lessons are $1 each and every pupil is given individual attention. Ten local citizens took their first lesson last night, the subject being the observance of the ordinance re- gone an automobile to come to a lull stop before entering or crossing an arterial highway—Sixth _ strect or Main avenue.

Down at Santa Cruz Lisbon, Oct, 6,—()—The Junkers plane, D-1230, arrived in Lisbon at 4 p.m. today from Santa Cruz, where it was forced down last night. The plane, which was forced to descend into the sea yesterday, off Cape Roca, en route from Amster- dam to Lisbon, was not damaged. The advices said that the D-1230, which is on a flight from Germany to the United States by way of the Azores, descended in the sea last avening because of a heavy fog just northwest of Lisbon. Neither the machine nor its occupants, who in- cluded Lilly Dillenz, Viennese ac- tress, was injured, and it was hop:+ that the flight to Lisbon could be resumed Ye Hardware Store at Bemidji Is Burned Bemidji, Minn., Oct. 6,—()—Loss ted in excess of $100,000 was caused when fire destroyed the building and stock of the Bemidji Hardware company here shortly aft- er midnight.

Lester Smith, Helena, Mont., in a talk before the Methodist confevence here this morning. The Bible is full symbolic refer- ences to the potter as an illustration of the way in which God deals with humanity, Bishop Smith said, point- ing to the parable of the potter in the 18th chapter of Jeremiah as an example. “My prayer,” he said, “is that I may be able to make you understand what Isaiah taught: ‘Now, O Lord, Thou art our Father, We are the clay, Thou art our Potter. We are all the wor. of Thy hand.” The first application of the par! able is to be found in the prepara- tion of the clay for the potter’s hand, Bishop Smith aiu, telling how, different varieties and grades of clay, all valuable, are used. It is thoroughly ground and beaten and mixed, for above all things, it is necessary tha the clay be molded into a homogeneous n.ass, he point- ed out and called this a “true pic- ture of the way in which God pre- pares humanity fo: the molding touch of. His hand.” Must Be Cleansed ! “It is importat.: far us to permit the divine Potter to choose our sphere of service for us, for he knows,” the Bishop said, but added | that it is also supremely important that this human cluy be cleansed. “Being cleansed,” he said, “ve must yield ourselves completely to God.” Describing the moiding of the clay into vases und other work, the speaker compared this wth the work of “the Divine Potter, as he fash- pions the uniformed clay of our hu- manity.” How the vase goes through the flames of the furnace was. described and a parallel drawn in the furnaces of testing, trying and vurifying fire through which, he declared. all men and women who hold to and truth and conscience have found they must go. The value the Potter adds to the clay was told: | s It_has gaincd in value because it has been liftec out.of the unformed mass and has received the impres- sion of the will of the Master. It has gained in value because beauty has been added to it. It has gained in value because it} has been prepared for service. “This, after all,” Bishop Smith said, “is the. purpose of God’s work with humanity. The ain. of his work for men is not so much to fash- | ion_ us in grace and beauty as it is to fashion us for service and use.” The need for home missions and the work of the Methodist Home Missionary Board was described by Dr. W. L. McDowell, Philadelphia, Telling how there were 11 large and aetive churches on the east side of Ne lew York when he was a young man, Dr. McDowell said that 1 years ago, they had all disappeared. At the same time, he said, the popu- dation of the East side has increased oF urgency for the-welfare of America, he averred. . rr more than 300,000.
