We Cannot Help
But Win Pennant

The Delta baseball team was organ
lied last week, and John Maxwell was
again chosen as manager. After his
success OF last year. we can't see how
the Delta fans could pick any one else.
II now looks as though the fight this
year would settle down between Grand
junction and Delta. as 1t is doubtful
II Montrose will have team outside
of what the home boys can put up
and they will not be strong enoug to
battle against the Delta or the juno
ton team So we guess It will be up
to the Montrose fans to root for the
Uncompahgre valley against the Val
ley of the Grand, and so we will have
to pull our legs strong for Delta.
The above is from the Montrose En-
terprise and will be welcomed by Delta
fans. However. IT was to be hoped
that Montrose would have another
good team this year.

5000 fine southern ewes from Gov.
Gunter. The purchase price is said
to approximate 100000. In comment

OF Montrose." AS Mr.. Scott's resi-

RULE IA, CONCERNING WATER
COMPANIES is SUSPENDED

Denver. March 22-water utilities

have to install and maintain service
connections from their mains to the
consumers property line, as provided
by Rule IA of the rules and regulations
of service of utilities adopted by the
State Public Utilities commission last
fall. The commission today issued an
order which indefinitely suspends the
rule as it applies to water utilities
Although it never has been in opera
ton, rule IA has been the subject of
lively interest throughout the state
It originally was scheduled to go into
effect on January 1. but, following a
protest filed with the commission. its
operation was suspended until April l,
and hearing nto the feasibility of
the rule set for March Is.
A majority of the protests came
from cities and towns owning their
own water plants. The principal ar
gument was that existing rates were
made on the basis of the consumer
paying for the installation and main
tenance of service connections, and
that II the expense of service connec-
tions were added to operating costs
of the utilities, the additional expense
ultimately would require an increase
in rates. This condition was support
ed by f. ]. Rankin, engineer for the
n study of the effect of the rule after
It was first suspended last December

findings at the hearing on March 16.
