WATER FOR TENANTS
TIE Company Must Not Discriminate
Between Parties.
RULINGS OF THE COURTS
Penrod's Suit to Foreclose a Mort
gage-Sheriff Reynolds Files His
Monthly Report-J. A. MUIR
rays lax Case.
RULINGS OF THE COURTS

The supreme court decision in the
case Of c. j. Unlisted against the Butte
City Water company, sustaining the
ruling of Judge Speer, to the effect that
the water company could make no rules
that would deprive any citizen of wa
ter, is of great interest to every water
consumer, not only in Butte but in
other cities, as it is claimed that the
majority of water companies are en-
forcing the same kind of rules. Early
in September, 1894, Milsted leased some
property in Upper Main street from
James A. Murray, and then asked the
water company to turn on the water
at his place He rendered four months
rent in advance. The company refused
to open an account with Milsted and
demanded that Murray, the owner Of
the premises, stand good for the water
rent, according to the company's rules,
which Murray refused to do and the
company declined to furnish Milsted
with water. The latter, by his attor-
ney, o. NJ. Hail. then instituted man
damus proceedings against the water
company.
At the hearing Mr.. Hall argued that
the water company was compelled, un-
der the provisions of its franchise, TO
furnish water to every inhabitant OF
the city under reasonable rules, and
that it. could not make a rule that
would deprive person or water. III
appeared at the hearing also that the
company had rule whereby a person
who moved into a place for which there
was an arrearage of water rent would
have to pay the arrearage before he
could have water. The company's de-
Tense that il would be a great incon-
venience to open an account with the
tenants instead of the property owners
and that their rule was intended for
the convenience of the company, ten
ant and owner, and was a rule that
was in force in all the principal cities
in the United States. The company
said that If it were compelled to deal
with tenants il would simply result in
a change of the company's rules so
that every consumer of water in the
city would have to pay in advance.
Judge Speer in deciding the matter
against the water company, said the
latter was a corporation engaged in a
public business and under a franchise
to furnish water to the inhabitants of
the city, and 1t was not in its power
to discriminate between parties. The
court considered that the company's
rules were not a reasonable regulation,
such as il could enforce, for the tenant
had a right to do business in his own
name Independent of the owner of
premises. The supreme court, II seems.
| took the same view of the matter.

New YORK, April 9.-The World

is so. 1t raises the question. It in

The World is concerned in this matter

Just as free and sincere in suggesting
that Mr.. Cleveland seems TO be the

criticism whenever it has believed him
to be wrong.
1T is idle and might provo very un-
wise to ignore the fact that there is q

ture of the election was the effort OF
the reform element to down number
of the gang aldermen. The reformers
were successful with a majority OF the
men they were after, but they failed to
secure the three or four bright particu-
lar stars they desired. Party lines
were not drawn in a number of the
wards and the reform movement had
much weight.
The fight on the town officers was in
all of the towns straight party issue.
and the Republicans were uniformly
successful, carrying all the town offices
by majorities ranging from 1900 to
1000.
