OPPOSE HIGH WATER RATES.
Citizens Begin Post Card Campaign
Against Increases.

The post card campaign of citizens of the
District against the raise in water rates
proposed by the District Commissioners
is making itself manifest in the Office of
the Senate District committee. The first
batch of the postals was received by
Clerk Clinton Thompson this afternoon.
Each card, with the printed petition
on the back signed by citizen, says:
Il favor the immediate passage of Sem
ate bill 6471. to maintain the present wa
ter rates in the District of Columbia. for
the following principal reasons:
THE president Of the board OF Commits
sioners is opposed to an increase in the
water rates and therefore favors the
bill.
THE arguments advanced by the en-
gineer department in favor of an in
crease in water rates are unconvincing
and untenable; it's statistics really prove
that it is neither necessary or justifiable
In seeking to make the citizens pay
directly for the water system the en-
gineer department nullifies or ignores the
organic act. which provides for half and
half appropriations from the federal and
District governments
