HIGH HANDED METHODS.

The rules and regulations Of the
Bluefield Water Works and Improve
ment Co., are not only unreasonable
but inso ent.
They demand that water rent
shall be paid three months in ad-
vance even though you may not need
j for so long. Is there any better
Teason for paying water rent N adj
vance than n paying grocery
bill in advance? Why should any
company attempt to collect anything
which is not due?
We have had many Instances
brought TO our attention of the
nigh handed methods pursued by
his company. In one Gaze a single
hydrant furnished water for three
houses. One was vacant, and conse-
Quently had 40 use for water. The
occupants Of the two other houses
paid the rent three months ahead
taking the usual receipt therefor.
After tn had been paid the water
was cut off becau-e the rent was not
paid for the vacant house.
Another instance was that when
he water works people came to cut
he water off the money was tender
cd for three molths in advance, but
was refused. In both cases the par
lies viii! be required to pay for both
cutting off and turning on. In the
first case they demand not only to
collect three months in advance for
those to whom the water was fur
nj he'd but required them to pay for
a vacant house three months in adj
vance.
Have the people no remedy? The
city has passed ordinances to pre-
vent these n gh handed methods,
but there is an injunction pending
in the circuit court which prevents
the city from enforcing these ordi-
nances until the court passes upon
the matter.
One remedy that might be pur-
sued Is tn 8: When water rent is
demanded in advance payment could
be made under protest. and then
suit could be instituted for the re-
5urn Of the money so paid in ad-
vance. But this does not furnish a
real remedy, but if a sufficient num-
Der Of people would enforce it the
three months in advance" rule of
the Water Works company would
rot be so profitable for them.
