\ TEST SUIT
 HAS BEEN FILED Water Company Threatens to Cut Off Water Supply at Home of County Judge James Gould.
REFUSES HIS MONEY
thancery Court Asked to Determine Legality of Councils New Water Rates-City Attorney Coleman Files Initial Suit.

County Judge James Gould has en-
 tered suit in the Jefferson chancery court against the Pine Bluff Light
 and Water Company to enjoin that company from cutting off the water
 at his home, No 704 West Barraque street. The suit was filed by City
 Attorney w. F. Coleman, who was re- gently instructed by the City Coun- cil to act as attorney for any local wate rconsumer who wishes to test the water rates charged by the water
 company. The expenses of the suit will be paid by the city. President F. c. Bridges, of the Pine Bluff Light
 and Water Company, is reported to have said that he will take the case to the supreme court. so sure is he that he is legally right in bis con- tention about the rate to be charged up by Chancellor Elliott upon his re-
 turn to the city from Des Arc. It promises to be interesting from le- gal standpoint and the outcome of it will be watched with unusual interest
 by local citizens, many of whom de-
 clare that the Pine Bluff Light and Water Company is charging an eXof- bitant rate for it's water service. In his petition County Judge Gould declares that under it's char
 ter the Pine Bluff Light and Water Company must furnish water to con
 sumers at a price not to exceed the
 annual water rates charged in Kan sas City, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Louis vile and Nashville.
 Under the act of the General As sembly of Arkansas, the petitioner says, adopted April 21, 1903, cities are
 given the authority to fix reasonable rate for water to be charged by a water company. The City Council Of this city recently fixed what it term ed reasonable flat rate. It furnish ed the local water company with a
  not complied with the edict of the Council to follow it.
 On April ,, Judge Gould says, he rendered the water company $4.56 in advance for water to be furnished
 him at his home during the quarter
 ending June 30, 1907. They claim that
 an amount in excess of that sum is
 due them and for that reason have de-
 clined to accept the money. Arbitra-
 rily and without right they have re-
 fused to accept the money, the plain
 tiff states.
 Judge Gould prays that temporary
 injunction be issued to prevent the
 water company from depriving him
 of water at his home and he further asks that the injunction be made per
 petual.
