Just at the time when Jersey City, N. J., is about to buy the Boonton waterworks the following statement as to the city’s water department is interesting: The receipts from the sale of water for the water years beginning on May 1 and ending on April 30 are as under: 19061907, $998,458.97; 1907-1908, $1,123,686.79; 19081909, $897,144.34 (six months). Hence, the receipts for the water year of 1908-1909, by a conservative estimate, will total $1,250,000—equivalent to an increase of 25 per cent, in three years. The water purchased from the Jersey City Water Supply company, according to the measurements of the meters by means of which all water supplied to Jersey City is measured, is shown below : 1906—35.8 million gal. per day; 1907—39.1 million gal. per day; 1908—38.7 million gal. per day. In comparing the figures of water consumption it must be borne in mind that the city has secured contracts within the past year for furnishing water to several large consumers previously supplied. These consumers take from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 gal. per day—equivalent to an increase of 8.1 per cent, in the same three years during which the increase in revenue from the sale of water was 25 per cent.
