THE WATER RATES
Still No Prospect of an
Agreement.
Supervisor Dundon Explains the ADJ
vantages of His Commercial
Discount Proposition.

The Water Committee of the Board Of
Supervisors made an abortive attempt yes
terday to arrive at some conclusion on the
water question as regards rates. After
three hours discussion theresappeared to
be no prospect of an agreement, and the
committee adjourned until next Friday
morning at 10 O'Clock.
Chairman Denman presided at the meet
ing. Besides the members there we're
present Attorney w, +. Herrin, repre-
senting the Spring Valley Water Com
pany. and number of property-owners.
L. V. OBrleD, representing property
owners in the elevated sections of the city,
asked the committee to give Clarendon
Heights and Holly Park justice by re-en-
acting the present rates and allowing the
water com pany TO build a reservoir on the
high level districts.
Louis Blank, who stated that he repre-
sented loan assoc alton. said that if the
proposition of Supervisor Refs was carried
into effect there would be one of the great
est stock deals in this city since bonanza
days. Refs proposal was 20 give the COM
pany per cent dividend while at pres
ent they get g. This, he said. would COM
pei all the small stockholders to sell out,
and after the stock had all been gobbled
cent the succeeding years.
Supervisor Refs was not present to ex-
plain his order, but 1t was stated he would
be on hand at the next meeting.
| Supervisor Dundon said the water order
adopted last year was supposed to reduce
| the company's revenue to per cent, but the
returns did not show that any reduction
! had been made. lie said his own water
| bills were the same under the order as
| they bad been under the previous year, and
| this convinced him there had been no re-
| duction at ali. He addressed the commit
! tee in favor of the order he advocated,
namely. the re-enactment OF the rates of
! 1892, with 5 per cent commercial dis
count when the water bill was presented TO
| each consumer.
! Supervisor Hinton claimed that this
would be 10 reduction at all as the con-
sumers had largely increased in number
| since 1892 and there had been an increased
revenue of $4,000 year from hydrants.
Supervisor Dundon said he had talked
with Attorney Herrin about his plan. but
the Spring Valleys legal adviser had at
first rejected ii. Subsequently Attorney
| HerriD told him the order would be ac-
ceptab BILE to the company, if it were adopted
unanimously, bIt the company If 1t were
passed would NC promise TO erect reser-
voirs on the high level districts.
Supervisor Rogers said only for this fact
be would be in favor Of DuDdon's pro-
position, but be thought his own order
best as under it the company had promised
to erect reservoirs on Clarendon Heights
and Holly Park, which he claimed was no
more than justice to the people of those
localities.
The committee discussed in desultory
way the various orders, but were unable
to arrive atany agreement and an adjourn
ment was taken.

BYERS WAS DROWNED.
No Marks of Violence Found on His
Body.

All the mystery, real or imaginary, that
enveloped the death of II. r. Byers, The
sewing machine agent, has been swept
away. A very careful autopsy of the re-
mains was made yesterday at the Morgue
and revealed the fact that death was
caused by submersion. There were no
marks of violence on the body.
