bodying the above schedule of rates the
latter part of the week. 1t was adopted by
the council yesterday af ernoon. The
whole morning session had been devoted
to undoing the work of one week ago.
Councilman Snyder tried hard yesterday
to intervene between the corporation and
the people, but even his party colleagues
fell down on him. Snyder objected to
every item in the new rate schedule by
holding out for 331S per cent reduction
Of the present rates to the last. At times
Kingery came to his rescue, but generally
he had no second to the amendment which
he made to the motions of the other mem.
bers responsible for the cuts above. The
new rates will average a cut of about l51S
per cent all along the line.
