CHI PRESENT STATUS.


MANY of our busy citizens have been
so occupied with their private concerns
as to lose sight of the status of the water
question. Some have fallen into the
idea that the 16c. rate has been accepted
by the water works company. Not for a
minute! They are prosecuting their suit
at this moment, having carried 1t up TO
the Supreme Court, where they hope to
get by hook or crook a reversal or a new
trial or some kind of a victory over the
city. They haven't a ghost OF a SHOW
on the merits of the case, but they rem
ember the other suits against h
city and they have their case in the
slme hands and they hope to wear u
the city. Some of our citizens express
the fear that in the end they will get
their way in the courts and that the
company Will then compel the users OF
water to pay up at 80 cents per thous-
and gallons from the time suit was be-
gun until now! How would you like
that?
That's one phase of the affair. But.
like all shrewd hunters for game or VIC
tins, they have more than one string TO
their bow. They are saying nothing
