l.
ton. who has made such good record in the
Council, is determined to run for Assessor
at the coming election. He has made a
most systematic canvass for the office.
having visited every corner of the county,
and be is convinced he can be elected.
A PopuIist heard Of Daton's determine
ton yesterday, and in relation to the m at
ter grew very warm. He said:
"How can Dalton do this? He pledged
himself to support the Populist ticket
when mis- name came I'D in that conyen-
ton for the Office, and to run now would
be a violation of his word"
But Dalton denies that he pledged him.
self to support the Populist ticket. In
letter to local paper he says on this sub
iect:
Editor Enquirer: In your issue of July %
| noIIce UnaG you quote me as saying In the
Peoples party convention, in response TO me
inquiry of a delegate as 10 whether would
support the ticket whether nominated OF hoI'
"Of course"
WIN you kindly permit me to say thr ough
your columns that l made no such state ment
whatever, and that 1 declined TO allow my
anne TO be voted on by the convention as soon
n bad the opportunity OF appearing upon the
aSatfOTm and addressing the convention.
~ urs respectfully, HENRY 7. DALTON.
HoOakland, July "a. 1898.
Tine Enquirer reporter was sitting near
here Mr.. Dalton stood when the gu stion was
wsked and answered, ana he understood the
a nswer TO be as printed. Probably the DELE
az To who asked The question could STATE e1-
actly what the reply was.-Ed. Enqulrer.l
The fact of the matter is that there was
great excitement in the hall at the time,
| and no one is absolutely certain just what
Mr.. Dalton aid say. but delegate stepp ed
| to the railing when Dalton was speaklD g.
and in the uproar Interrupted the speaker. he
| addressed him as follows, shouting at the Top
| OF his voice so as to be heard above the ain:
"Mr. Dalton. may l ask II you will support
| the POpullst ticket II nominated"
| The speaker paused moment and ansWe RED
| "Yes."
The delegate walked back to his seat salts
fed and The Councilman finished his speech.
That ''yes" of DatOn's can be twisted into
many shapes, but his friends say he did not
| commit himself. One OF them said yesterday,
| speaking on the subject:
| "Of course. he did not commit himself, and
has perfect right TO run for the Office and Will
| do so independently and will be eltcted. Why,
l told him in the back part of the hall before he
| took The platform TO be careful, that he would
have a II sorts of questions put TO him and TO be
! cautious. Everybody knew ana be knew that
| Davie had knitted him, aud he did not really 60
| before the convention and when his name was
proposed withdrew II as soon as lie could make
himself heard"
1t is well known regarding this point OF de-
Ginning that Dalton did arise to withdraw his
name. but it was thought by the Davie men
were drowned in the din which arose when he
did.
With Dalton in the field the fight on the as
sessorship promises TO be very pretty, as 1t Is
certain tn re VIII be three men in the field and
perhaps the Democrats will also nominate.
Under Reduced Water Rates.
The reduced water rates have been in effect
since July !, but some persons have been COM
planning that they notice no material difference
In the water bills.
Regarding this Councilman Manuel, the
father OF the ordinance making the reduction.
makes an explanation as follows:
The amount of reduction in consumers
water bill depends somewhat on the kind of
place he has. III he has a large house ana
small lawn he is likely TO get more than 80 per
cent, while if he has large lawn and small
house the reduction will be less than 80 per
cent. On Waterclosets and baths the reduc-
ton was made so per cent. On house areas the
cut in the rates WIS 80 per cent; all charges
for bay-windows and porcbes being parts OF
house In which water Is not used much, were
forbl dden; charges for putting in meters or
making connections with mains were also pro-
hibited. On the other hand the rate Tor lawns,
which was relatively low before, was not
changed. suppose the Council thought lawns
were in the nature OF luxury.
''As 10 the amount of the reduction, am told
that a mon h or TWO af er the ordinance was
passed Mr.. WatkinsOn. accountant of the Con-
ira Costa Company, went through the list OF
customers of that company and figured that
the ordinance would reduce its revenues
1922. 900. which was 81 per cent Of its total
revenue"
