ON WATER RENTS
Increases Made Following In
spection Not Popular With
the Residents.
SEVERAL ENTER PROTEST
Are Told Tha- Investigation Will Be
Made but Requests for These
Are Very Few.

Thinking that they had been over
charged for water rents because
their rates were higher than those
of the last year, several citizens have
entered protest in the city clerk $
office because of the raise Of rates.
Some of them have gone so far as
to make charges against the officials
who instituted the inspection OF wa
ter rates last spring, and though
they were shown reason for the
raise. their anger was scarcely
abated when they paid up and left
the office
WILL INNESTIGATE
The matter was fully explained
in the columns of The Argus last
evening It was found some time
ago that there was a. discrepancy in
the fixing of water rates and two
inspectors were named to remedy the
errors. Many changes were found
necessary because of undercharge
and some were found where the
charge was little high. So before
sending out the cards for the rental,
the clerks Office employees made the
change in rates. If there is further
complaint, the work will be rein
spected where occasion demands and
the rates will be governed according
to the reports of the inspector.

There is every probability that be-
fore the end of the month the metal
which makes the type for the Public
Opinion will be melted by a gas
flame furnished our linotype by the
DEBORAH Gas Company. Manager
Sanders informs us that the plant
is nearly complete, the building is
finished, the mains are laid as far
as will be completed until spring,
many services are already installed,
and the machinery is all here, with
the exception of one little piece
which is expected daily. Mr.. Rier-
don, the gentleman who will make
the gas, has moved his family here,
and before the end of the month he
assures us, patrons will be using
the gas. This is pretty good
record, considering the lateness of
the start.
The company has opened Offices
and salesroom in the old post office
building on Winnebago stree, where
stock of gas stoves, lights, ETC., is
kept.

showed that the association was in
excellent condition. Inasmuch as
the demand for money is greater

of series to stock now open, it was
decided to open a new series of
stock February LIST, and offer these
to anyone who desires to accept
them as payment. The stock earns
more than per cent annually and
is good way of saving money sys-
tematically. DR.. F. w. Conover, b.

Attraction Poorly Patronized.

Barriers Burned Away" at the
Grand on Friday night appeared be-
fore such a small audience that the
managers of the theatre decided not
TO book further attractions until
there was evidence on the part of
the people to back them up by pa
show, worthy of good sized house,
and throughout the whole season
there has not been a single poor at
traction. Some were better than
others, of course, but each and ev-
cry one has been high class, clean,
praiseworthy production. This is en-
tirely different than it is even in
large cities, for there all classes of
shows are played, and one often is
bitterly disappointed. Here, the
managers make it a point to book
nothing but high class attrac-
tions, and there has been
nothing else this season. The repu-
tation of the theatre will suffer and
the enterprise will be operated at
a loss, which means a poor grade of
shows and far between, unless the
reputation which has taken years to
build and is decidedly a unique one,
is upheld by our people. 1t is only
the reputation of the city and the
house that gets some of the fine at
fractions which come here. Can we
afford to lose this prestige?
