SUBURB WANTS WATER.
East Washington Heights in Cam
paign for City Service.

The campaign for the extension OF the
washington water service to East Wash
inRton Heights was taken up again last
night by the citizens association of that
suburb at meeting in the Baptist
Church.
It was declared that the water service
is bad and the water in the Stanton
School, at Good Hope. is sometimes unfit
to drink. AS a result when pupils are
thirsty they are obliged to beg water
from nearby residents. but few of whom
have 1t on their own premises and who
are often obliged to bring 1t from a dis
lance.
The association determined to ask the
board Of education and the Commission
ers of the District promptly to take nee
essary measures to furnish the schools
daily with a proper supply Of drinking
water until such time as pumping sta
ton shall be installed and the public
water service extended to that section.
While the residents Of that section OF
the District are not at present affected
by the increased water rates ordered by
the District Commissioners, they antici-
pate q time when they win be, AID went
on record as protesting against the man.

creased the rates without granting the
residents Of the District a hearing.

When Appropriated.

The sums of money allotted by Congress
to the states and territories for the
maintenance of militia cannot be hy-
pothecated in advance, according to q
recent ruling of the militia division of

sought authority to make II charge

years. practice which has been disap-
proved by the War Department.

Central Union CriticiSes Com
missioners for Increas-

Increase in water rates ordered by the
District Commissioners to date from July
1 were denounced by speakers at the
Central Labor Union meeting last night
in Typographical Temple. and resolutions
opposing the advance were adopted.
George Myers. representing the carpen-
tiers. introduced the resolution and after
he had spoken in support of it other dele
gates echoed his sentiments. President
Milton Snellings leaving the chair to in
dorse the resolutions. The annual report
of the District superintendent of water
shows, it was said, an annual profit now
from the water tax of more than
$4,000, and it was upon this report
that the protest was based. The dele
gates were a unit in declaring the in
crease unnecessary and an unjust addi-
ton to the already burdensome taxes
saddled on the District rate payers.

Voices Emphatic Protest.

The increase in the water tax rate was
discussed at a meeting of the Northeast
Washington Citizens Association last
evening. A. II. F. Holster offered reso-
luton to the effect that we not only fail
to realize the policy Of increasing or in
any way changing the water rents, but
object most emphatically to the procedure
and manner in which the same has been
acted upon by the Commissioners. In re-
fusing to give any citizens association or
other representative body hearing on
the question:.
James M. Wood moved the adoption
Of the resolution, and its reference to the
legislative committee, but action was de-
ferred.
THE action of the Commissioners" w.
S. Bransom declared, was uncalled for
and arbitrary, and was a high handed
act"
Mr.. Bransom suggested that the assO-
citation petition Congress to take the mat
ter of levying taxes out of the hands Of
the Commissioners and put it where 1t
belongs in the hands of Congress.
DIR. Starr Parsons remarked that Com
missioner Rudolph, who opposed the
water rate increase had been a consist
ent Commissioner, and should be COM
mended.
Action on the suggestion was deferred
until the committee on assessments has
an opportunity to present the matter
more fully.
