The spirit of winter is with rs,

different ways-sometiEles by cheery

WITH MATER RATES
Commissioners Trying to Fix q Re-
adjustment.

The city commissioners have been
discussing the water rates for sew
eral days but have come to no con-
clusion.
One thing that is being considered
is putting a minimum on the amount
of payment under the meter plan.
Many small small consumers who
were paying a minimum of so cents
a month under the flat rate put In
meters to be aLie to pay only for
the water used. Now the bills are
coming in and it is found tt at many
small residences do not use 5000
gallons a quarter which at 80 cents
per 1000 gallons would make the
$3.50. Instead, some use only 1000
gallons, making so cents and some
even. less. So the plan is to put a
minimum Of SO cents month, or
the old flat rate, on all residences.
Commissioner Matteson mas also
favored raising the rate tosthe large
consumers, the railroads and the
Belle Springs. If this is done there
is danger that these companies will
put in their own wells If they can
thus save money. The income. from
these large users Is about $500
year. 1--WE are going to do some
figuring first" said Mr.. Matteson
today. "The fact is we do not know
how much water we are pumping
and consequently do not know its
cost. Many years ago an indicator
was put on the pumps which meas
ured the number of strokes and
from this an approximate measure
of the water was obtained. Last
summer we put it on again but the
instrument does not work accurately
and 1t was evident that IL gave M
real indication of the water pump
ed. We shall probably Duy a new
one and run it a while before max
ing any readjustment of water rates. y
The only way guess can be made
now is through the number of hours
the pumps run and an estimate on
the water per hour.
An ordinance was adopted recent
lly compelling everybody to put II
a meter before April 1st, or The city
will put one in and charge it agains'
the consumer.

WOODMEN ARE WONDERING
ABOUT THEIR NEW RATES

Three hundred members OF the
Modern Woodmen who belong to the
Abilene lodge are interested in
knowing what is going to happen on
the 23rd of this month when 500
delegates will meet in Chicago to
decide about raising the insurance
rates. It is said that to put the
lodge on a basis so 1t can meet mat
uring obligations, it's present rates
must be doubled at least, and 1t is
the claim of some members that the
rates will have to ,be trebled. Tne
Woodmen have a larger membership
than any other fraternal order in
the world. 1t has one and hall
million members in America. Last
wear the lodge paid out $4,000
in death claims. The age OF nfty
is called the death valley OF insur-
ance, and large proportion of the
membership now is approaching or
ia over the age of fifty. The Mod
ern Woodmen of America Is facing
tits prospect. A large part OF its
membership is sure to die within the
next few years and as the years go
by the death rate is bound to in
crease. The society has no surplus
or accumulated fund to meet this
emergency. All death claims have
to be paid out of the regular insur-
ance rate plus the assessments that
are made from time to time to cover
the emergency.
