LOWER WATER RATE
AFTER JULY /
Council Adopts Report of Spe-

EMBODIED IN ORDINANCE
Which Was Passed and is Mandatory

Attorney London Says 1t Takes Two

Attorney London Says 1t Takes Two
Parties
TO MAKE AND CARRY OUT CONTRACT

The city council last night
passed an ordinance embodying
the water rate reported by the
special committee.
The best authorities say this
means that the citizens can refuse
to pay a higher rate for water than
that prescribed in the ordinance
after July 1.
The same gentlemen say that
citizens can refuse to pay higher
rate if demanded. If the water is
cut off an injunction suit is then
the course to pursue. The COM
pany, under the ordinance, is also
liable for a misdemeanor.
sit takes two parties to make
a contract" was Attorney Lon
don's comment when shown the
ordinance. eve will accept 40
such law. We have our rights
and will test them
This is taken to mean that
long litigation will be the sequel
to the much talked of water fight
of the special water committee last night
Chairman Meighan, in response, moved
that the committee be discharged.
When this was done Alderman Drennen
be adopted, with the exception of the sec
tion relating to the reduction of the rate
on fire plugs to $50 per annum and the pay
ments of 10 cents per thousand gallons for
water--the city has heretofore paid Is
cents.
Alderman Drennen's motion prevailed.
Mr. Drennen then introduced the ordi-
nance embodying the rates recommended
by the committee. Here the surprise was
sprung, for it was thought to be certain
usual course
Instead Chairman Altman, of the judi
ciary committee, to which the ordinance
would have been referred, moved to place
1t on it's second reading When this was
done it was placed on it's third reading and
final passage.
Mr. Graham Did Not Vote
Every alderman present with the excep-
tion of Mr.. Graham, voted in the affirma-
tive. On account of his relations with the
water company he asked to be excused.
When the ordinance was passed Alder
man Hentschel offered a resolution declar-
ing void the contract with the water COM
pany, with the exception of that portion
relating to the supply of fire pigs. This
met some objection and was finally re-
ferred to City Attorney Lowe to report at
the next meeting of the board.
In this connection Chairman Altman, OF
the Judiciary committee, declared that the
ordinance just passed very effectually fixed
the water rates. He thought this was as far
as the city could go.
Will Go to tho Courts
Alex T. London, the attorney for the
waterworks, was asked what the passage
of the ordinance meant.
"It takes two to make contract" was
the terse reply.
