SUGGEST BETTERMENTS
Topekan Writes Newlnnd Regarding
Water Rates.

w. b. Gashe. president Of the ALI
ance COOPERATIVE Insurance company,
believes there might be some improve
ments made in the proposed revision
Of the city's water rates and has writ
ten the following to Frank Newland,
city commissioner of light and water:
''The daily papers have given to the
public statements from time to time
Of proposed revision in water rates for
this city.
TN last evenings State Journal is
given a statement of the existing rates
together with the proposed rates. At
q first glance this seems to be favor
able to q majority OF our people as It
reduces the minimum charge to small
consumers from As cents per thousand
gals to IS cents per thousand gallons.
"A careful analysis Of the two
tables, however, seems to indicate that
the greatest benefit would really come
to the large consumers for the reason
that under the present rates the con-
sumner must use $4,000 gallons per
month before he gets the benefit OF
the cent rate. Under the reduced
schedule az published, the descent in
rates Is much more rapid. and the 3
cent rate applies to all water con-
sumed after the first $4,000 gallons.
IF this II the proposed plan. 1t
would certainly appear that the few
large consumers win receive q much
greater benefit than the great mass Of
small consumers.
Another view Of this question. Il
