ticipate such a riot, and says he did not know until after Brosnahan left the City Hall that he was armed.
 The water companies are not showing their usual diplomacy at this time, and their partial success seems to have in toxicated them with an ambition to en- rage the public even before the new rates go into effect. They are now charging full legal rates, but 1t is not at the payment of this that the public is enraged; it is that the present legal rates would produce such a generous income that any additional rate Is ab- solute robbery. This fact is best es- tablished by the figures given out by the company to individual rate-payers on this, the first day of the month They show that in a majority of in- stances the companies have been charging just one-quarter of what they could have charged legally. Many peo- pie who have hitherto paid 50 cents a month to-day find their bill is from $2 to $2 1O When before the Council com mittee Messrs. Watkinson and Dingee stated that they had collected during the past year about two-thirds of what the law allowed them, and on this showing the ordinance which was in troduced by the committee was based.
 It now appears from the complaints of numerous customers that they were charging a little more than 25 per cent of the legal rate, and that had they charged full rates even under the pres ent ordinance their income would have been princely. These facts are increas- ing the popular indignation, and great pressure will be brought to bear this week upon either of the two likely Councilmen to have the ordinance amended back next Monday night so that 1t will be the original ordinance introduced by the committee.

verely censured to-day for the disgrace full showing it made last night Chief Lloyd will probably have to answer to the Commissioners for his plain neglect of duty. In the Council chamber when Brosnahan showed that he was ire sponsible and used language that would not be tolerated without provoking a fight in a waterfront saloon, it was clearly Chief Lloyds duty to place him under arrest. Especially was it his duty to do so when told by President Pringle to put Brosnahan out of the Council chamber It was certainly a very humiliating spectacle to see an en- ragged Councilman push the Chief of Police away, tell him to mind his own business and leave him alone, and for such Chief to obey. This evening one of the local papers which has hitherto always rushed to the defense of Chief Lloyd, says: There was abundant req son for arresting Brosnahan in the Council chamber; he was guilty of in- toxication and of disturbing the peace But even though no arrest had been erward, when 1t appeared that he was carrying concealed weapons on the street and causing fresh disturbances of the peace. But instead of that he was allowed to defy the president of the Council and the police, as we'll as to insult decency by his foul-mouthed obscenity and blasphemy. After the adjournment, when he left the City Hall and started down the street, the police who were present Gncluding the ChieD acted practically as body guard to escort him safely from saloon to saloon on his devious way home ward
