THE WATER RATE ORDINANCE.


Tonght's meeting of the city eoun-
Gil will be of extraordinary import
ance to the people of Cairo, as the
new water-rate ordinance will come
up for final action There seems to
be no reason to doubt that the ordi-
nance will be adopted, substantially
as it has come from the hands of the
special committee. for nearly all the
aldermen have openly declared them
selves for it,
As was developed at the meeting
last night, representative of the
water company have raised objection
to number of the rates as fixed in
the ordinance. Some of the changes
suggested by them, involving conces-
sions to the company, were agreed to
by the committee and were incorpo
rated in the ordinance as amended
and read last night But in a number
of instances the concessions asked by
the company were not granted by the
committee, for good and sufficient
reasons.
1t transpires that one Of these con-
cessions is that additional charges
shall be made for each additional
faucet put into q house after the first
faucet, although all the faucets are
connected with the same supply pipe
The committee holds that when a
consumer pays for the Introduction
into his home of supply pipe of Ger
tain size he pays for all the water
he may wish to use out of that pipe
for his entire household, and it needs
to make no difference to the water
company how many faucets he draws
from through his one service pipe
the quantity will be the same. If the
consumer chooses to pay for putting
in a number of faucets fed from the
same pipe, that is for his convenience
and does not necessarily mean that
he will use any more water than the
service pipe for which he originally
paid can yield--or any more water
than he needs for his household. It
merely saves him the trouble Of carry
ing the water in vessels from the one
faucet to the other parts of his house
and he generally has to pay the
plumber quite handsomely for this
convenience.
1t Is said also that II the demand
OF the water company in the direction
indicated is granted, the rates for
service in many houses in the city,
instead of being reduced, will in fact
be considerably higher than they are
at the present time.
Objection is also made to the meter
rates In the ordinance. But If these
are changed as requested the result
Is likely to be the same as in the case
of the fiat rates. Any change in the
meter rates which shall yield to the
company higher rate than the fat
rates will mean the abandonment by
the company Of all fiat rates that are
not satisfactory to it, and the en-.
forced introduction of meters.
The council will do well to stand
by the committees report, which,
there is every reason to believe, has
been carefully prepared with con.
scientious desire to give the people
q Cairo only what they have a right
to demand in all fairness
