MAY DOUBLE THE RATES,
Rival Water Companies May
Prove a Detriment to the
Consumers.
A Condition of Affairs That Was Not
Contemplated When the Law
Was Made.
OAKLAND OrF1cE SAY FRANc1sco CALI

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCIsCo CALI
90S Broadway, Jan. Is.
In few weeks the rivalry between the
two powerful water companies will result
IN very peculiar complication that the
City Council will be expected to unravel.
1t is question of the highest importance,
as it is of vital interest to every property
owner in the city.
In accordance with law, notice has been
sent TO both companies to furnish the
Council with a sworn statement of the cost
of their plants and the operating expenses.
The law says and the Supreme Court has
so affirmed that the water rates shall be
fixed on basis OF the value of the plant
and annual expenses, and that the charges
for water shall be such as to allow fair
rate OF interest on the investment.
On this point the two companies will
agree when they come before the Council
although they have agreed on nothing
else-and they will insist that the Council
shall fix the rates on the total value of the
two plants. This will make the rates con
siderably higher than those now fixed by
the Council. Although at the present time
water is being supplied in the districts
where both companies have pipes at rates
are entitled to charge, Doth corporations
are anxious that the City Council shall
make the rate as high as the law allows.
There is all undercurrent of opinion that
the heavy losses sustained by the water
companies have nearly reached that point
where they will come together. Should
they do this after having 4 rate fixed upon
the valuation of both plants, the business
of supplying water would at once become
lucrative.
The councilmen are disposed to think
that the law and the Supreme Court did
not contemplate such q contingency MS
TWO water companies coming into exist
ence, as both the law and the courts
decision were based on the San Francisco
conditions where there is only one com
pany. They say it would be absurd to
suppose that if a dozen companies should
come in and parallel each others lines
the rates would have 20 be adjusted to paw
interest and operating expenses on all
their properties. At the same time the
councilmen admit that the law is in favor
of such method of procedure and that if
will be difficult task to do justice to the
ratepayers and to follow the lines of
legality.
So long as open hostil1ties exist between
the two companies and rates are cut to
meet the demands of customers, the legal
rate cuts but little figure in the contro-
versy. There is, however only the breadth
of Broadway between President Dingee's
office and that Of President Pierce and the
citizens of Oakland would not be at all
surprised to hear OF a compromise.

OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. l5.-In the last
issue of the Oakland Journal, the German

In China John Bull has erred in his reckon

selfish powers. Venezuela has caused the

the same kind, not only with his horde OF
freeboeters, but through Wilhelm, the cousin
of John Bulls sovereign, Queen Victoria.
Wilhelm sent n congratulatory dispatch to
Kruger, President of the old republic In Sou tn
Africa, including firm demand against the
interference of England.
The blow has been struck, but notwithstand-
ing that William need not in the least trouble

ALAMEOA'S NEW LIBRARY
No Decision Arrived At as to the
Proposition to Erect a
Building for 1t.
Unusual Preparations Being Made to
Dedicate Alameda'S New
City Hall.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. 15.-The library
trustees have come 10 no decision about a
plan for temporary building in which 10
house that institution. Five plans were
submitted and discussed, but all of them
were found to exceed the price set for the
Hmit-S2500. a consideration of the plans
and discussion OF the project disclosed
the fact that the city trustees are opposed
TO the proposition of erecting temporary
building. 1t will squarely face the new
City Hall, and some of them think it will
contrast rather too unfavorably with that
imposing pile. The library trustees affect
to be Indifferent as to whether the munici-
pal Trustees approve or not, and express
their determination to go ahead at all
events. There is little cordiality between
the two boards. Ever since the municipal
board lent its aid TO oGst the library board
there has been lack Of good feeling and
1T IS cropping up in this matter quite
plainly.

born has the matter in hand as the execu-
tive officer of the committee of arrange
