Ten O'Clock today Thursday the
Public Service Commission of the State
is holding meeting at this place, in
vestigating the attempted raise in the
water rates. The action of the receiv-
er is bitterly resented. Not withstand
ing the fact that the Public Service
Commission set date for a hearing,
the receivers attempted to collect Sl8
for meter service and 80 cents per !, GOO
gallons for all water passing through
the meter. They collected about $3.50,
before they were stopped by order of
the Court.
The Receivers had the water cut off
at Judge Elliott's home, because he re-
fused to pay the new rate until the Com
mission made their decision. The Judge
took the matter before Judge Boyd who
fixed Aug y as date for hearing tes-
timony why an injunction should not
be granted. The water was turned on
and collections discontinued. The con-
sumers held a meeting Monday night
and arranged for witnesses for the
hearing today.
