THE WATER RATE Supervisors Resume Inquiry as to Spring Valley Plant. Engineer Schussler Says That Sys- tem Is Worth Far More Than the Sum Expended Upon It.

A long argu- ment ensued between Reed and Schussler, and as the engineer of the water comparn could not give a definite answer as to the value of the plant it was decided that he sted to finish the itemized state- e it with the board at "the g, sor Reed then asked Engineer er to give a reason why in the city New York water was collected at a cost gallons and sold to the while in the city of San o the consumers were obliged to per million gallons. Engineer hussler entered into an elaborate state- giving the cost of labor and mate- al and varied climatic conditions as the S the increased,cost of water to Francisco consumer. questions propounded by Super- v ed were characterized by En- gineer Schussler as being hpothetical and incorrect, and considerable time was spent without eliciting any information from the w s. eer Schussler then stated that the pring Valley Ccmpany should be allowed 0 enjoy the profits of the increased value of its property. He denfed_that the company had aban- Point Lobos water system, which it had acquired some years ago by purchase. It was not being used at pres- ent but would be used in the near future. Supervisor Reed then asked the witness | | it it_would not be a fair proposition for | the Supervisors to fix a water rate which would pay the water company 5 per cent | on the total amount of money it had in- vested, plus the cost of operating and taxes. To this question Engineer Schuss- ler answered in the negative. The witness insisted that the company should receive a profit from the Increased value of its lands, and that any property it might use in the future but which it was not using at present should be figured | in arriving at the value of the water system. He denied that the Point Lobos | Creek water was contaminated by the| | cemeteries or that the water taken from | | Sunol Creek was not pure. If the city of | San Francisco could secure a water tem sufficient for all purposes for $20, 000 he would not accept that figure as value of the Spring Valley plant, even if company had not invested that amount of money. The present_daily average capacity of the Spring Valley | Company was 000 gallons, and the | | witness was requested to present figures | P When asked if the Spring Valley Com- pany had ever received less than 5 per cent on its total investment Engineer Schussler said he knew nothing about the receipts, and referred the Supervisors to | the cashier of the company. Supervisor | Reed and the witness had a long argu- ment as to the manner of fixing the valu- ation of the E£pring Valley system, the Supervizor scoring & point by stating that the company had purchased its lands at a low rate for water supply and that the | company could not sell an inch of the| ground for real estate purposes. The Su- preme Court had decided that In the pur- chase of a water system by a city from a company the basis of valuation must be | | the amount of money actually expended, | and not the value placed upon the land | and plant by the water company. Supervisor Reed {ntroduced a resolution | | that the Board of Public Works be re- quested to furnish a definite statement as to the rates paid for water by banks, sta- bles, etc., under the fluctuating schedule provided in the water ordinance, and re- port to the board as to whether a definite rate could not be fixed for this class of consumers. Under the water ordinance | the water company has the right to | charge from 9% cents to $8. The Investiga- tion will be resumed next Monday.

Frank W. Pipher, receiver. < Imperial Government railroads in Japan, arrived in this city last evening and put up at the Occldental. He is accompanied by his private secretary, Y. Kinoshita. Matsomoto i{s a graduate of the Poly- technic Institute at Troy, N. Y., and he ‘was appointed to his present position by the Japanese Government a year ago. In July he began a tour of the European and American cities with a view toward obtaining rallway information. He has made a careful study of modern rallway, methods and will recommend to his Gov- ernment the adoption of some of the American ways. ‘While in Paris Matsomoto attended the International Congress of Rallways. He has spent a month in the United States and is now en roate for the. Orient. Speaking of his observations in this coun- try, he said: “You have some splendid railroad lines in America. One of the best, I think, is the Pennsylvania. The president of the Pennsylvania is a graduate of the same institute that I attended. It is difficult to compare your roads with those of Ja- pan. The conditions there are so differ- ent, and the environment of a railway has much to do with the way it is conducted. I notice the difference even here in the West as compared with the roads in the East. “To me the most striking feature of American rallroads is the advancements they are continually . It seems as f the owners were never satisfied with the length of their roads. They are always WAWAIL, SAMOA, NEW ZEALAND sno SYDNEY, m‘m s's°c" DIREOT LINE ToTAHITI —_— 88.
