CHARGES FOR WATER
NAMEDAT HOLLYWOOD
CITIZENS PRESENT IDEAS OF
RATES
Express Dissatisfaction Over Tardi-
ness of Committee Selected to
Fix Minimum and Excess
Prices


HOLLYWOOD, April 15.-The first
public report of any doings of the COM
mittee which wis appointed to set the
water rate for the coming year was
made at the meeting of the city truS-
tees last evening. Very little infor-
nation was given and the citizens Who
had gathered to hear what they sup
posed would be a complete report OF
that committee seemed angry over theiI
disappointment.
Although Trustees Dick and Lashley
were seemingly anxious that a report
should be made, Mayor Dunlop stood
out against it and merely recited the
methods that the committee had used in
gathering their data. A committee
it was reported is busy making negotia-
lions with the water company and the
mayor was adverse to giving out any
information until the report of that
committee had been received. The
members of the subcommittee are
Mayor Dunlop and Trustees Lashley
and Gordon.
The citizens spoke in very clear Ian
guage of the treatment that they had
received at the hands of the water COM
pany and unless some favorable rate is
obtained a great deal of dissatisfaction
will be felt. Charles Andrews of North
La Brea asked why the people in his
neighborhood had to pay higher rate
for their water than the people of East
Hollywood when they had paid about
$4,000 toward the installation of the
reservoir on the hill at the head of the
street.
S. T. Weir of North Vine street
claimed that he had paid $4.2O one
month for a small cottage when but
little water was used. w. G. McCad-
den of McCadden place said he had
paid as high as So a month. Before
the meeting adjourned a resolution was
introduced and passed to the effect that
the citizens of Hollywood would be
satisfied with rate of $3.50 as mini
mum with 10 cents excess. The com
pany is asking for rate of $1.75 mini
mum with an excess of 40 cents.
