4 WATER PROTEST


Editor Ell Paso Herald:
There are, being published in the
morning paper a number of letters in
regard 20 the water question, most OF
them favoring the rates proposed in
the new franchise asked fer by the
International Water company, which
Is rs percent Increase over the pres
cnt rate.
Now we, as citizens of FL Paso and
as water users, want TO protest against
such an enormous increase and think
that in matter of so much Importance
that the interest of the consumer
should be given first consideration af-
ter the quality of the water has been
considered.
A IS percent increase in the water
rate will cause many people to aban-
don their grass and trees, thereby doing
great damage TO the appearance Of the
city. If We had a separate system with
a low rate for sprinkling and irriga-
ton, We could afford 10 pay 35 cents
per 1000 gallons for water for domes-
tie purposes
The present company at its request
has had its franchise changed several
times and has gone right along violat-
ing it almost every month.
We most heartily endorse the stand
taken by the present mayor and coun-
III anu II fOohS as tuouSn we now
had officials who had the interest of
the people at heart and would give
consideration to those citizens whose
opinions differ from theirs.
