A Misleading Statement.
(Communicated).


Editor Evening Capital
Dear Sir:
In Capital of Aug. ~, 1915, a
statement appears Of Alderman J. A..
bert Adams complaining of excessi We
high bills for water rent AT HIS
HOUSE which does not state facts
and certainly is misleading.
Please find below a statement Of
water rents paid by MIR. J. Albert
Adams from Jan. lst. 1916. to July / +,
1915:
For houses on Morris st. for
mos. S4S. 90
For house on Calvert st.
for mos. 400
For hotel on Calvert st. for
mos. 28.9o
For eating saloon from June
Z, 1915, to June 80. 1915 SO
S76.43
The statement gives the impression
that his water bill was entirely for
service to hotel whereas is seen by
statement above It included his total
property service for period above
stated.
BY order President,
FRANK II. THOMPSON,
Secretary.
