COUNCIL DISCUSSES WATER RATES
Conference Leads to No Action on the
ordinance.

Conference Leads TO No Action on the
Ordinance.
The city council in special session last
night discussed at length the ordinance
Incorporating the schedule Of water rates
as prepared by Expert Kiersted but failed
TO take any action.
The ordinance provides for a minimum
rate OF 81 and the discussion showed that
this was generally favored by the council.
Mayor Macrae stated he was and had
always been in favor of a minimum rate.
Lots OF men would like me to pay their
water rant, and, in fact, I and others do
pay the water rent for lots of other men.
Every one should pay his proportion for
the service"
Regarding the raise OF hydrant rentals
from s54 to $50 by Mr.. Kiersted, Chairman
Wallace Of the special water works com
mittee explained that this was done by
Mr. Kiersted to avoid raising the rates
to private consumers in order to obtain
the necessary income which the water
works company was entitled to.
Some Of the rates were questioned by
some Of the councilmen, and Manager
Hart Of the water works company said
they probably could be rearranged providing
others were raised so as to produce the
same aggregate income.
The following are the rates where wate~
