demanded that all charges against MIN here be

STILL AT ODDS.
No Agreement Reached
on Water Rates.
Supervisor Hinton's Order Makes a
Cut of Eleven and a Half
Per Cent.

The Water Committee of the Board of Super
visors met in special session last night TO re-
sumo consideration of the water rates for the
next fiscal year. Besides the committee aud
several other Supervisors there were present
Attorney HerTin and Chief Clerk Booker Of the
Spring Valley Water Company.
Chairman Denman announced that the CON-
mlttee had met 10 come TO some decision on the
water rates, but after two-hour session the
committee was as far away from a decision as
ever as regards particular order TO be recon-
mended-
Supervisor Hinton offered a new order, max
ing the sixth one presented TO the committee.
Hinton's order is based on the proposition of
Supervisor Refs, to regulate the rates so that
the revenue of the company Will be sufficient
TO pay per cent divid nd on its stock in
stead of per cent as at present Supervisor
Hutton calculates that the money required by
the company under the present rates for The
payment OF per cent is as follows: Expenses,
100000; taxes, $50, 900; interest S623. 900;
dividends on S11.7OU,000 stOc ,S702. 600; total,
Sl,72l 600 Deductng l per cent the
S11, 10000 bonds. which is S117,0 Super
visor Hin on calculates that the revenue neces-
sary TO be raised for the next year by The CON-
pany is 81 .604 900. This would allow the pay
meni of . per cent dividend.
Supervisor Refs said that the order drawn by
Hinton was entirely satisfactory 10 him, as t
carried out his Idea exactly in the schedule OF
rates.
Clerk Russen calculated that this was a re-
duction OF 1112 per cent from the present
rates. and Supervisor Dundon said that this re-
duction was too much.
After talking over the various orders. 1t was
evident that the committee had no desire to
come TO vote on any particular order.
Supervisor Rogers moved that when the COM
mttee make its report 1t would make ii In the
shape of resolution instead of an order so the
rates could be adopted Immediately in the
board without passing TO print. THIS was
adopted. A second resolution by Rogers. that
the committee report TO the board the whole
SIX orders without any recommendation so that
all could be voted Oh, was not carried
Supervisor Dundon thought II was better to
hold caucus of the board so that all the mem
bers could have a chance to examine the OF ers
critically aud motion 70 that effect was car
ried, the executive meeting being set for to-
night.
II is probable that Supervisor Dundon will
withdraw his order which re-enacts the rates
OF 1892 but provides that the company make
3 per cent discount on ali bills presented TO
consumers. The reason is that the law pro-
yides hat the Supervisors shall fix rates, and
the simply taking of of 5 per cent on bills by
way of commercial discount would not be
fixing OF rates. At least so Supervisor DundOn
says he has been advised
