SR John Henry Dockweiler, civil engineer | for the city Jdn the Spring | and expert Valley water case, resumed his testimony yesterday before United States Commis- sloner Heacock. He submitted a dla- gram, showing that in Portland, Ore., the expenditures for operation and mainten- ance of the water works were at the rate of $6 20 per million gallons; in Dallas, | Tex., $8 44, and in San Francisco, $47 35. There were only seven cities greater in this respect than San Francisco. The amount of capital per mile of wa- ter mains in municipally owned works, as compared with Spring Valley, was shown as follows: Los Angeles, $830; Boston, | $61,805, and San Francisco, $56,857, Boston being the only city which has larger fig- ures than this ecity. But boston's water works system is capable of furnishing four times its present supply. The minimum amount of capital in- vested per consumer is: In Savannah, Ga., $14 75; Boston, $75 78, and San Fran- cisco, $64 68. Anether table was submitted, showing what the rates of these. municipally owned works would be if they were in the hands of private corporations. This was done by adding interest ori the whole cost of the works and taxes to the oper- ation and maintenance charges. Under this hypothesis, Sacramento would have the lowest rates, namely $20 02 per million gallons; Newton, Mas§.,, with $204 92, would have the highest. The San Fran- cisco rate is $162 38 per million gallons. Only three such cities would have a higher rate than San Francisco, and they are all small places. Such rate per con- sumer per annum would be: Les Ange- les, $151; Boston, $5 43; San Francisco is $5 21. Boston would be the only city having a higher rate than Spring Valley. Of the total annual receipts for water Sacramento has the lowest, $60,438; Chi- cago the highest, $3,485,761, and San Fran- cisco, $1,943.941, exclusive of rents. Bos- ton, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago receive higher sums per annum for wa- ter than does the Spring Valley. Spring Valley's actual receipts for 1903 were $2,187,437, and under the contested ordi- nance the receipts would be $2,058,998. In reply to a question by John S. Par- tridge, Mr. Dockweiler said that London pays about six times as much for water as San Francisco, but London’s popula- tion is seventeen' times as great. He added that the water supplied the inhabi- "tants of London is fiitered and is the finest water in the world. That city was formerly supplied by eight companies, and it has recently taken over the prop- ertles to itself. In Scotland, he added, there is not a single water undertaking in the hands of a company. Prices of water in Paris range from 12 to 32 cents | per thousand gallons, according to quan- tity and quality. In Rome, Italy, the daily consumption of water is 6:,300,000 gallogs, which is. at the rate of 123 gallons per consumer, and_the rate is $2 50 per capita per annum. The charge per thousand gallons is $5 20 to $7 80, aecording to the locality. The works are privately owned. WOMAN FINDS COIN ROBBER RUNS A VAY Vietim of the Thief Steals| a March on the Thug.
