UNABLE To FIX
RATE FOR WATER

Mateo and William J. Din
gee Cannot Agree on Terms
OLD FIGHT STILL ON
Capitalist Demands More
Money Than Councilmen
Are Willing to Give Up
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SAN MATEO, April 11-William ].
Dingee and the Board Of Trustees are
still at war over the question of water
rates and the old controversy seems as
far from solution as it was when 1t
began. Dingee as owner OF the water
system wants series of fiat rates
which are not at all to the liking of
the Trustees. The Trustees have sug-
gested to Dingee a sliding scale of
rates, which has been promptly de-
clined by the capitalist. Dingee sub
m1ts as his proposed scale of prices a
meter rate of 80 cents for every 1000
gallons as against rs 2-3 cents, which
was the rate of last year. He also in
sists that 81 month be charged for
each fire hydrant, as against 60 cents,
the rate now in operation.
The city authorities want to install
new hydrants at the prevailing rate
and Dingee refuses to make connec-
tions unless the rate of 81 month is
paid. The problem is a serious one for
the community and it's solution is
awaited with great anxiety.
