To the Editor of the Alexandria Gszstte:
Kindly correct your report Of citizens
committee" meeting SO far ss 1t refers to my
remarks. Your representative misunderstood
me. 1 did not oppose the paper on general
grounds, for the ideas are not new. On the
contrary, favored it, excert as to bonds !
did not say it attacked any corporation, but
speakers at the public meeting had. did
oppose advocating the City Council negotiat-
ing with the Water Company looking to re-
duction of water rents. do not think 1t
matter that Council has anything to do with.
II our people want concessions from the VS.
ter Company they should petition them di.
rect snd in the proper way. The City Coun-
Gil in the past has shown very scant courtesy
and consideration for the Water Company
and there Is no certainty of the next Council
being any Improvement on the present. The
peoples wishes would receive more consider
alton coming from individuals.
