section think they are now sub
jected to the arrogant treatment
being accorded to them.
Jones Systems Rates
To begin with, Jones makes a
flat charge of $3.50 per month for
a house, whether it contains one
room or half a dozen, whereas un-
der the city of Spokane rates water
| is sold to four room houses or less,
not modern, for so cents per month.
The water that Jones sells Is
bought from. the system that he
sold the town of Hillyard at greatly
reduced figures as compared with
the selling price.
The greatest complaint against
the Jones water deal is his man.
ner of levying fines. People who
have been fined told The Press
that they have gone to the Jones
! office in Hillyard and asked the
reason for the fine, to which the
| clerk In charge made the response.
| THAT Is our business" Instead
of notifying the consumers when a
| fine is assessed and give two or
three days time for its payment,
| the Jones agents turn off the water
and will not turn 1t on again until
the fine Is paid. Protest is of no
avail, advance payment of water
rates count for nothing, the fine,
whether right or wrong, must be
paid before the water supply Is
, restored. Jones Is the judge and
jury in the case, a law unto him
self.
5000 In One Days Fine
In one day last month nearly 100
persons were fined, which at the
| 50 rate made $500 that the already
overtaxed people of that section
paid into the Jones Golfers as the
result of one days assessment on
his subjects.
