Water RATE TO Benefit
SMALL Home OWNER

The board of public works and
Treasurer Eggleston this morning
conferred on Councilman Pratts
proposition to reduce the residence
water meter rate from - cents per
1000 gallons to six cents per 1000
gallons. and decided to recommend
to the city council for action next
Tuesday night that the meter rate
be left at Is cents but to reduce
the flat rate. making the minimum
for four rooms or under 50 cents
per month instead Of 81.
The spirit CT the session was to
give the small home owner the best

City Treasurer Eggleston today
declared that the reason he does
not place city funds In banks to
draw interest, as provided by law
passed by the last Legislature, is
that each city bank refuses to
handle the funds unless given an
exclusive account. Another reason
is that the banks are not DESTROYS
of handling small sums such as
the city deals In. The only large
amount of money the city has con-
trolled during the past six years
was the $450,000 bond issue for the
new water system. The city had
this sum but few months. Mr..
Eggleston says the city funds are
a hand to mouth proposition. AS
soon as money is paid in on public
improvements, 1t goes to pay on
the bonds. and, consequently, at no
time is the treasury cramped for
space to find room for the amounts
1t carries. Out of the cash bal
ance of $4,000 at the close Of bust
ness the other night about $4,000
of it was checked out the next
morning and today about $35, 900
more was checked out on the pay
roll.
Treasurer Eggleston says he will
refuse to place the city's money for
banks to use SO long as the city
council insists upon him giving
bond. Should hard times, fire or
other calamity overtake banks Of
this city, and the city money be
lost, then the treasurer's bonds
men would be held responsible, he
declares.
About year ago the city coun-
ell, by ordinance attempted to die
tate that the treasurer should
place the money in an individual
bank, and the corporation counsel
declared the action illegal, as the
council had no right to dictate the
treasurer's business so long as the
treasurer and not the city council
was responsible for the funds in his
charge.

FIND FILTHY
COLONY

Health Inspector Adams and
Reardan this afternoon raided a
Chinese opium joint at 80 Big ISL
and and found Chinaman and
white man laying on bunk to-
gether smoking.
The inspectors made a note Of
the place and next visited a shack
in which 26 Austrians sleep on
beds in filthy quarters. The whole
establishment is germ breeding and
unfit for human habitation.
AT another shack the officers
found an old colored woman with a
young, sick and faded white girl,
living in conditions of AFFECT mis-
cry and poor sanitation. The in
spectors notified the inhabitants
that the shacks would be con-
demned and torn down. Monday a
report will be made to the health
board, which will recommend that
the shacks be burned.
At each place filth has been
scattered about in the rooms where
the inhabitants sleep and outside,
near the doors.
The place occupied by the
Austrians is owned by John Sara
benas. He says he rents the
ground from F. X. McBroom, a
real estate man. Another place in
which IL Austrians are crowded
closely together is rented from Nc
Broom for $40 a month, the men
say. The renter Of the place was
