PAY FOR FIREMEN NOW.
Dollar an Hour for Fire Chief and Four
bits an Hour for Privates at all
Fires.

The Corvallis fire department is
now on what might be called
paid basis. A resolution adopted
by the city council at meeting
Monday night places the chief en-
gineer and any ten men that he
may select on salary during the
progress of fires, The pay of the
chief is 81 per hour, and of each of
the ten men that he may select,
fifty cents an hour The pay is to
begin when an alarm of fire is
sounded, and is to continue as long
as the chief engineer may direct
The resolution passed the council
by unanimous vote, and is now in
effect
A committee from the FIRE de
partment attended the council
meeting and urged the passage of
! the resolution. The chief speaker
was Lawyer E. E.. Wilson. His
colleagues on the committee were

green. Mr. Wilson said the de-
partment is in bad condition. There
are only ten or a dozen men who
are really active fremen, and they
are discouraged, A greater num-
Der is on the roll. but they are not
strenuous fremen. The depart
ment has visions of disbanding

council. that course seems probable.

insurance rates would be sure to
follow chittim prices. The cost in
the increased rates to property own
ers would be great. A common
fire under the proposed rates OF pay
to fremen ought not to cost the
city more than $40. IF the work
lasted only an hour, that would be
but So. IF three hours, nearly $40.
Both DIR. Harper and the fire
chief seconded the efforts of Mr..
Wilson, and when they had all
finished responsive chord was in
the hearts of the councilmen They
sat unmoved for few moments,
and then Councilman Rose moved
that the resolution presented by the
committee be adopted and the mo-
ton was promptly seconded. A
chorus of ''ayes" went up when the
motion was put, and no obstreper-
Gus member ventured a may" in
opposition.
Figurative1y speaking, some of
the old volunteer fremen OF former
years were in tears yesterday morn

Four bits an hour for a private and
dollar an hour for the chief as
contrasted with the nothing an
hour when they used to sweat and
grunt on the brakes of Big Six in

one of the evolutions of the new
century that makes some of the old
veterans realize as never before,
that "has beens" indeed. they are.

TO CUT WATER RATES.
For Domestic .use-Ordinance for That
,s Purpose Pending in Council.

An ordinance that if adopted will
make considerable reduction in
the cost of water to domestic con-
sumers is now pending. in the city
council. 1t was introduced at the
monthly meeting Monday night,
.andswas passed to the third read
ing. No effort was, on account OF
its importance. made to place it on
its final passage, and after some de-
liberation, il was referred to the fire
and water committee.
The pending ordinance fixes a
maximum rate. of SI.25 per month
for water for household use, water
closet and bath. 1t makes a re-
duction in the rates for lawn sprink-
ling. For violation of its prov1s-
ions by any '''person, or agent, en-
ploye or officer of any company or
corporation who shall demand more
than the proposed rates. it fixes a
penalty of not less than IS nor more
than $50 for each ofense. The or
dinance in full is as follows:
Sec. THAT the price and rate
for the use of water for domestic
purposes within the limits of the
city of Corvallis be and the same is
hereby established and fixed as
follows:
For household use, including hot
water tank, Is cents per month.
For water closet, SO cents per
month.
For bath rs cents per month.
For household use, including hot
water tank, water closet and bath,
$I.25 per month.
For irrigation purposes:
For one lot or fraction thereof,
81 per season.
For two lots or fraction thereof,
more than one lot $3.50 per season.

Sec. Amy person, or any ag-
ent, employe. or officer of any COM
pany or corporation who shall de-
mand of any person within the linn
its of said city of Corvallis, great
er rate for the use of water therein,
than that prescribed IN Sec. I OF
this ordinance shall upon convic-
tion thereof before the police judge
of said city, be fined not less than
SIS nor more than $50 for each of
fense."
Lawyers say the council has au-
thority to exercise the powers in
volved in the pending ordinance.
The city charter makes pro-
vision for such action in what ap-
pears to be very plain terms. The
language of the charter is as fol
lows, The council has power and
authority within the city of. Cor
wallis to establish, fix, regulate and
control the rate or price for use of
water, gas Or electric lights within
the limits of the city of Corvallis.
At the meeting there was nolgen-
eral expression of opinion with
reference to the ordinance, but sew
eral oouncilmen have since express
sed approval of its terms. It will
probably come up for action at the
regular monthly meeting. in Oct
