Need of Good Water Every community that , offers proper living conditions to its citizens is thrice blessed when it is able to provide wholesome water for culinery or household purposes. The day is fast passing when desirable residents will rent homes and buildings for business purposes, or build them either, when a water system providing wholesome water enough for the peoples' use at a reasonable rate is not at hand. .It is a wise head that builds and plans far enough into the future to safeguard the health and needs of its commu-nity, even in the face of stern opposition. It is false economy to save at the expense of such permanent civic improvements as adequate waterworks facilities under con-trol of the town. Such a system enhances the value of every building served and the property upon which it stands. It pro-tects the lives of the children and citizens when the water pro-vided is free from impurities and bacteria, which aid diseases so common in districts where un-wholesome water is provided. This community owes its resi- - dents this protection at almost any cost. Every progressive qualified elector will pride him-self in supporting any attempt to put over such a constructive civic service as is now contem-plated by our city fathers. A CITIZEN. Utah Copper Plants to Be Put in Shape for Minimum Cost j Operation j " .. i Demand for copper is remark-ably good, notwithstanding the low price quoted for the metal, said Col. D. C. Jackling, presi-dent and managing director of the Utah Copper Company, who arrived in Salt Lake Wednesday. Domestic demand has been bet-ter during the current year. than it has been at any time irt the history of the red metal industry, consumption being almost double that before the war. j In the last two years . alone, Colonel Jackling said, there has been an increase in domestic con-sumpti- on of copper of at leapt 75 per cent. Work of the Copper Export Association in finding new markets and educating con-sumers, manufacturers and the public to the superiority of cop-per was strongly commended by Colonel Jackling. "What part of this increase was due to the work of: the' Copper Export Association," he said, "is, of course, impossible to determine. But the activity of the marketing organization has been a large factor in improving the condition of the red metal industry." Domestic Demand Grows. While copper consumption abroad has not increased as com-pared with the consumption prior to the war, he explained, it had not decreased. There is little or no disparity between present and prewar foreign con-sumption, but the proportional disparity is great, for European demand, because of the war, has not undergone the sequential in-crease from year to year that domestic demand has. Consequently, since thewar Europe has not taken by a half of what its demands would have been had the war not prevented the steady, persistent and wide-spread growth of the use of copper that would have evolved normally. Settlement of Euro-pean difficulties, in Colonel Jack-ling- 's opinion, will doubtless re-sult in increased demands for the metal. When asked whether there was any parallel between what the Copper Export Association had accomplished for the red metal industry and what a similar or-ganization might do for the sil-ver industry, he replied: "It is hard to draw a parallel between the copper and the sil-ver industries. The uses for cop-per are so much more numerous. It is such an important metal to so many industries, while silver users are neither as diverse nor as basic Utah Copper Pians Outlined. "Work of the Utah Copper Company will be continued along the lines of orderly procedure in-stituted about a year and a half ago. We are getting our plants in the best shape possible, with a view to operating at the lowest possible cost, the highest possi-ble metallurgical accomplishment and the most economical capac-ity. "Our equipment is being brought up to the highest possi-ble standard of efficiency. We are not working to increase oui tonnage, but we are improving our plants in order to reduce costs and make beter recoveries. When we have completed the whole program the capacity of our plants will be about the same as formerly." Bingham Society Mrs. Geo. Bolman was a Salt Lake visitor Tuesday. .
