Roberts'etter Meats Phone West 190 Deliverr hlorning and Afternoon GOOD EGG The Waterworks Amalgamation J. Duncan, blunicipal Engineer. The present system of ivater supply carried on by smallareas financing its oivn undertaking separately, had manydraivbacks,chief amongst which are: 1. It creates a lot of extra exacting ivork in the tax officecomputing or applying a different levy in each area to meet,the fixed charges (that is interest and sinking fund amounts).2. It creates a lot of extra book-keeping in the Engineer'sDepartment, keeping and allocating ivorkmen's time for menwho may be installing connections or doing repair ivork on sev-eral different ivater systems in the same days. Also materialssuch as pipe for making connections, fittings, stop cocks, etc.,all have to be priced over again after they are purchased andallocated to th earea in ivhich they happen to be installed.3. In some cases ivhere one system draivs water from an-other system it becomes impossible to do justice betiveen them,ivithout an elaborate system of meters to measure the flow ofivater from one area to another. 4. The area system ivas forced upon %Vest Vancouver ata time ivhen the blunicipality had AUaterivorks in the Eastend only, ivhile the settlers in the AVest end had constructedtheir oivn ivaterworks, but, now that the municipality haswaterivorks from Capilano to Hoive Sound and is able andivilling to meet development in any part of the District, theneed for separate financing of small areas has disappeared.The area system (no matter hoiv it is applied) is bound toretard development; somebody alivays»ants to build on apiece of land on the outside of the marked areas and theCouncil is faced ivith the alternative of using funds belongingto a local improvement ivrongfully, or refusing service alto-gether. The area system sooner or later must become unmanag-able, as ive ivill have so many areas and extensions that ad-justments ivill become next to impossible. In short the area system is just as if each of the severalmembers of a family did their own housekeeping and cookingseparately. THE ADVANTAGES OF AbIALGAiiIATION ARE1. That ivaterivorks construction can be set in motionmuch more quickly by the Council than it can by each smallsection on its account. 2. The extensive improvements which must go ahead im-mediately in the Eastern and bIiddle Sections of the Munici-pality ivill be more easily financed by the ivhole blunicipality.These costs ivill not be increased by amalgamation but bybeing spread equally all over the District will be less of aburden or hardship. 3. The Inspector of blunicipalities (who thoroughly und-erstands the situation) recommends it as the best way out ofthe present aii kivard situation. 4. All the progressive municipalities on the loiver main-land have only one ivater system, in fact the ivorking of ivater-works as a local improvement is a bypath ivhich was only be-gun in AVest Vancouver in 1920 arid the circumstances ivhichbrought it into being have passed and gone several years Jaliuary 11, 1929.
