private water company expired on July
/, 1900. The city has been operating a
municipal plant since February, 1900 Tho
old contract with the water company was
on fiat rate basis; and the use Of meters
were optional with the consumers.
"As to which was the cheapest to the
consumer-the fiat rate or the meter
depends largely upon what basis the fiat
rate is made. Ordinarily the fiat rate Is
cheaper for small tenements or dwell
ings, and for large dwellings and man
ufacturing purposes. If you nave low
meter rate, II might be more economical
to use meters. However the method of
rating these would determine which
would be the cheapest The fiat rate is
usually considered the cheapest In all
cases from the consumers standpoint,
but in large dwellings, having numerous
fixtures, and based on a separate rate
for each, there is no doubt but the meter
rate, based on an allowance of say 5000
gallons per month, on a minimum rate,
would be the cheapest provided, water
is used legitimately and not wasted.
Il enclose you a copy OF our present
water rates, which also contain the rates
OF the private company, which were In
force at the time the city-s plant WAS
placed in operation. Since then the pri-
vate company has revised IT'S rates to
Our meter rates We're reduced from
the original rates adopted, and all COM
mercial services are now required to be
placed on a meter the meters to be
furnished by the city free of charge

may desire will be cheerfully furnished
on application. Yours truly,

vorite at evens, while Mallory was held at
S to 5 by the ~bookmakers. of TO a fair
start, Mallory tiptoed his field and won
handily. The colt is a fine-lOoking young
ster by On~andago-Miss Thomas. and has
won his three starts like a stake horse of
high class. Spencer Reiff got the worst of
the start and could never get VI with the
leaders.
Drummond was an odds-on favorite for
the first race at five and one-half furlongs.
Dean took him to the front early and won
handily from Lee. Nutter. In the second
race, at six furlongs, Waring ruled an even
favorite, but a steady play on Death forced
the latter's odds down and Warning receded
In the betting. Warning won in a romp by
three lengths. Kings Lady, a smart flly
from the Bennett stable, won the third
event at half a mile in a canter from Philo.
Malay was favorite for the fifth race at
one and a sixteenth miles, but w. b.. Gates
came with a rush in the stretch, beating
Trebor a length. In the last race Ema-
thion was played heavily at evens. He was
not up 10 a race, however. Lady Wads-
worth, a long shot, winning by a neck from

ley electric automobile. has received a let
ter from Edwin +. Brown, of Chicago, pres
ident Of the American Motor League, stat
ing that Mr.. Elston has been appointed
chief consul for the league for Indiana.
This league is patterned very much after
the L. A. w. that formerly controlled

American Motor League will take up many
of the questions where the l.. A w. left

one of its main objects.
Mr.. Elston says he has a plan under con-

for electric vehicles in neighbOring towns
and may extend the plan to cities through
out the State, so that electric vehicles can
be used for touring purposes. A station
will be established at Broad Ripple at once.
