REGULATE RATES
City Dads and Water Man to
Confer.
MEET AGAIN MONDAY NIGHT
Will Appoint Commission
Bills Allowed.

The project Of creating a Water
Commission to regulate water
rates was taken up and discussed
at the Monday evening session of
the city council, and finally the
city attorney was instructed to
draw the necessary resolutions,
and q special session Of the council
will be held Monday evening next
for the purpose of acting on the
same.
1t appears that the old law
creating water commissions
was limited to corporations only,
but as amended at the last legisla.
tive session, it is now made to
apply equally to water systems
owned by private individuals, as
in the Grangeville system. The
law requires the city council to
appoint two taxpayers to represent
the city; two are to be appointed
by the owners of the water system,
and the four fix the rates for
water for the ensuing three years.
If the four are unable to agree,
they are empowered to select q
fifth, and if they cannot agree
upon the fifth member, then the
appointment is passed up to the
probate judge. The law provides
a penalty Of 500 per day upon the
water company if it neglects to
appoint it's two representatives
within given time, after being
notified that the city has acted
in the matter.
Discussion of the matter has
created much interest in town,
and it is likely that a large number
of citizens will attend the special
session on Monday evening to see
what disposition is made of the
matter. The council agreed that
each member should nominate one
taxpayer from each ward, and the
council will then select two from
the nominees to represent the city.
1t is also expected that the water
company will appear to protest
against the creation of the water
company commission.
The following bills were allowed:
