SAN DIEGO
An Important Decision Regarding Water
Rates-Court Notes

IVdteS-OOuTt NOteS
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 16-An important
decision was rendered yesterday by
Judge Torrance, in which an opposite
opinion was given to that of Judge Ross
in the United States court. The question
at issue being the right of a water COM
pany to increase it's water rates. The
case came up on demurrer by defendants
in the case of Ella B. Ward VS.. the San
Diego Land and Town Water company,
and in overruling the demurrer Judge
Torrance held that the $3.50 rate under
the company's system is the actual rate
established and collected, and the at
tempt Of the water company to double
that rate was unauthorized. On this
there would seem to be wide diversity
of opinion between Judges Ross and Tor
rance.
