RATE REVISION IN MUNICIPAL WORKS
It goes without saying that every Water board or Superintendent of Water Works should be thoroughly well informed as to all the fundamental facts of his system having a bearing on the rates. It is often wise to publish a report of the facts concerning this question for the benefit of consumers, and it is always wise to keep ahead of public discussion of rates and keep the public well informed from time to time of conditions and facts which bear on the subject, so as to guide it if possible toward a sound judgment. A printed report of a study of the rate question was published by the writer in 1915 for the Waltham Water Department and this outline is offered to show a method of treating the problem in municipal works, with the hope that it may be of use to some one. We also have attempted some general observations in the light of our study and after the experience subsequent to the preparation of the 1915 report.
