MAY CUT DOWN
WATER RATES
HOLLYWOOD TROUBLES UP TO
SUPERVISORS TODAY
RADICAL CHANGES IN NEW oRDI-
NANCE PROPOSED
Meters Can Be Charged for Only at
Cost If Proposal Is Passed
by the County
Board

An ordinance in blank, governing the
rates and other dealings between the
Union Hollywood Water company and
its customers outside the city of Holly
wood, was completed by Chief Deputy
District Attorney Hartley Shaw yester-
day and will be handed to the board of
supervisors today. The fixing of rates
visors in determining, from testimony
already heard, the value of the COM
pany's plant, Mr.. Shaw being called
upon only to prepare the wording of
the ordinance, leaving blank spaces In
which will be inserted the maximum
rates to be charged.
Speedy work in this direction, II Is
hoped by the water users, will be done
by the board owing to the company's
action several days ago in increasing
rates several notches above those al
ready complained of.
The ordinance provides that the rates
shall be based upon a minimum supply
of 5000 gallons of water each month,
with additional charges for each 1000
gallons over that amount. Special rates
are provided for water furnished for
irrigation purposes and for setting pipe
trenches, while water for construction
work will be the same as that used for
domestic purposes.
Should the ordinance be adopted, an
other provision which will be welcomed
by the users is that while the company
may ascertain by meter the quantity of
water used no more than the actual
cost of the meters shall be charged by
the company. The same rule will apply
with reference to connections.
In addition to submitting the or
dinance, Mr.. Shaw will recommend to
the board that the Jefferson street plant
belonging to the company should not be
included when figuring up the value of
the property. This plant, according to
the company's officials, Is worth $780,,
600, and It's elimination must. of course,

Flance, rs Years Old, Ran
Away with Savings
of Years

The course of true love did not run
smoothly for Stefani Schiallow, so years
old, Russian woman formerly of New
York, and she appeared at the central
police station yesterday and swore to
complaint charging her sweetheart,
Antono Michalute, 20 years old, also
a New Yorker. with stealing $500 from
hiding place In her room. Michalute
disappeared July and the detectives
are searching for him. He is believed
to have gone to San Diego.
According to the woman's story TO
Deputy District Attorney Arthur
Keetch, she and Michalute were in
love In New York. He proposed mar
rage to her there, but the wedding
was postponed and she came to Los
Angeles, leaving Michalute in the east.
Soon after her arrival here she received
letter from her young sweetheart in
which he implored her to send for him;
that If she would send him 500 to pay
his railroad fare and expenses to Cal
ifornia he would come to her and the
wedding would follow. He declared in
this letter that he was unable to live
| without her and would not live long
| If he had to remain away from her any
length of time.
Kisses Sweetheart Goodby
She sent him the required amount
and he came to this city. He told her
several days after his arrival that he
had arranged with a Catholic priest
for the wedding and had obtained a
marriage license. Then he suggested,
pending the time for the marriage GER
emony to take place, they should live
| together She consented and they OBJ
tained apartments at 627 South Grand
avenue. They lived happily for a
short while. Michalute obtained en-
ployment as a cook at the Van Nuys
hotel.
Miss Schlallow kept her savings,
amounting to 5000, wrapped in an old
dress, which she hid under the mat
! tresses. Friday morning Michalute
arose early and stated he had to at
tend to some business. The woman
reached under the bed to see If her
money was safe and found it missing.
She thereupon asked Michalute If he
had it, and he answered in the affirma-
| tive and stated he was keeping it for
her. She did not object and Kissed him
goodby. He failed to return that
night and she began a search for him.
Being unsuccessful and realizing that
she had been duped, she appeared at
