WATER COMPANY'S PICNIC
Medical Society Members Gird Them
selves for Battle With Consumption
Social Amusements Among the Young Society
PeopIe-A Performance for the
Nebraska Famine Sufferers

IS Pasadena, Feb. 26.--As stated in yes
erday's correspondence the people of this
city are beginning to wake up in the ques-
ton of water rates. The rates are too
high, especially in the eastern portion of
town under the control of the Lake Vine
yard Company, where average families
are paying from $1.75 to SO per month for
enough water to supply a small lot in
stead of charging such rates that the
stock may pay dividends. Why are not
the rates reduced? 1t is stated by author
tiles that if Lake Vineyard stock were
permitted to pay dividends it would be
worth 800 per share When it is con-
4 sidered that large amount of this stock
! lis held by few individuals not that they
) may have the privilege of using water,
but for speculating, the reason for wish
y ing to change the nature of the stock be-
pomes apparent. There is no doubt that
yhe city should own the water supplies,
and the stockholders who are consumers
would not object to a transfer of stock free
of expense. They would continue to have
the same service that they have at pres
ent and the rates would be reduced. Com
menting on the situation the News says
editorially
The water company has had its picnic.
We have listened to the accounts OF its
prosperity. We have all seen that there is
dead loads of water in sight and OF the
very best quality. What we now expect is
cheaper water, and perhaps Mr.. Brown
will explain why we do not get it. At
present it costs an average family of three
about $3.50 per month or $50 year for
water. Some of our working people, who
keep lawn green all summer, are obliged
to give up nearly a month wages during
the year to pay for it. This is too much
Water should be the cheapest thing under
the sun. We understand that it has cost
thousands of dollars to develop the water,
but the companies are getting on in years,
yet we do not hear of any cheaper water
rates. The city should own the water and
deal it out at the lowest possible rates

session was presided over by DIR. Van
Slyck Those present were Drs. Prayer
Grinnell, Walker, Somers, Briggs Kearns,
Pritlie and Hereford. The most impor-
tant subjects considered were the proposed
hospital and the necessity of taking some
steps for the prevention of the spread of
consumption. The committee on the lat
ter subjects reported as follows:
THAT it is desirable to call the atten-
ton of the City Council and through them
that of the public to the fact that tubercu-
losis is an infectious disease, but practi-
cally so only through the sputum; that in
locality such as this, to which con-
sumptives and invalids find their way
from all parts of the globe, if it is to
maintain its reputation for salubrity and
not to become a hot-bed for tubercle
germs, tuberculosis should be included in
the list of diseases to be compulsorily no.

sihouses and meat should be subject TO in
speetion. The cost of this could easily
be met by the imposition of a small tax
ON all cattle or milk sold within the city.
,S "The attention Of the railway companies
should be called to the desirability OF
providing proper cuspidors and the for
bidding of the disgusting habit of splitting
on the floors of cars.
I. 1t was decided to send circulars to all
the hotels and boarding houses and that
the council be asked to pass an ordinance
containing the ideas advanced in the
resolutions, putting its enforcement in the
hands of the health officer.
+. On the subject of the proposed hospital
the committee, consisting Of Drs. Kearns,
James and Rowland, reported having in
vestigated the matter. From letters re-
ceived it was learned that nothing could
be attempted in this line without an en-
dowment The cottage hospital at Santa
Barbara ran behind $1,000 the first year

be attempted here without an endowment
of at least $75, 900. In view of these facts
