the estimate Of income by the plain
tiffs attorney is higher than that
above used, and it is probable that
the true income is between the two
and somewhat higher than $3.50
per month.
From the other point of view,
however, that of comparison with
other forms of business, 1 consider
the residence rate of SO per month
too low for a boarding house, and
if proper rate is adopted by the
sewer company, there should be
an increase in income from such
establishments that could easily take
care of $3.50 in four and one-half
years. If necessary the full rates
for residences as. set out in the
charter might be adopted and en-
forced by the company, thereby
raising its income materially
| consider a regulation of the
company properly adopted requiring
the installation of grease-traps by
boarding houses a reasonable one.
AS this court has no power to
fix a rate, but merely the power to
declare whether a given rate is rea-
sonable, am forced in issuing this
writ to adopt the situation that
existed at the time the disconnec-
tion was made.
This court declares, in view of
the fact that no one should be
called upon to pay another's bills,
and that there is no statute in this
state giving a sewer company any
lien upon real estate for sewer rem
tails due and unpaid, that a discon-
nection to enforce the payment of a
prior tenants unpaid bill is I'M
lawful. A sewer company is not
entitled to any special privilege. 1t

fer unpaid sewer rentals by forcing
tenants to sign contracts to that
effect, or otherwise, under the pres
emit state of the law.
1t is therefore ordered that the
