INCREASE OF RATES
ON RE-ASSESSMENT,
WATER WORKS PLEA
Company to Take One of
Two Appeals to Commits
sion If Reviewers Assess on
100000.

Announcement was made today that
the Richmond City. Water Works COM
pany will resort to either of two re-
courses in case the board of review
passes finally on An assessment of
more than 100000 These are:
To appeal to the. state board of tax
alton and ask that the rate OF assess
ment be reconsidsr6d and taken on a
basis of an estimate made regardless
of the valuation made by the state
public utilities commission, in the
same manner that stores and other
corporations are assessed
To appeal to the public utilities
commission for an increase in rates on
the ground that the present revised
rate scale was reached after the
amount of taxes had been taken into
consideration.
Nothing official will be done, how
ever, until next week. The board of
review will not come to a final de-
cision on the water works question un-
til tomorrow or later
Adjourned for Funeral.
The members assembled this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock but adjourned to at
tend the funeral of Charles Petro. as
SCISSOR of Jefferson otwnship, who died
Tuesday. No business was done.
The Light. Heat and Power COM
pany appealed yesterday afternoon for
rehearing on it's assessment, which
also was increased after the board of
review had gone over the statements
of the company to the public service
commission.
1T is probable that both companies
will be strenuous in their efforts TO
evade higher taxation, and representa-
tives of both corporations feel that a
new rate should be made on the
strength of the higher taxation.
Although the beard of review took
both cases under advisement until
Friday, Auditor Bowman stated today
that this does not necessarily mean a
decrease in the assessments. and that
the board probably will not move from
it's present stand.

the association, in sending out its
standards for Workmen's Compensa-
