women rushed upon them and took
their own produce from the carts and
hurled the various objects at the flee

among the women. They were most
irate, and they urged the women TO
throw kerosene over the goods Of the
produce merchants. The National

Of 1871. They came struggling along
into the Plaza, some with children fol.
lowing at their heels, some with ba-
bies in arms and some singly. There
was little moaning from the women
but not so much as that which marked
the demonstrations yesterday. There
were more mutterings and threats of
violence today. Mayor Mitchell to-
day agreed TO see n delegation of three
from among the crowd. Mrs. Ida
Harris, president of the East Side
Mothers Vigilance society. was chos.
en- to head the delegation.
She said she would demand that
the mayor take steps for an appropri-
alton of one million dollars for the
purchase of food at cost. She said
that seven hundred and fifty thousand
women will assemble before the city
hall next Saturday. Later Sweet Marie
Cans, the heroine of yesterdays dem.
appeared in the crowd. She
had just been released from jail OH

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION OF

BY f. II. WALKER, Secretary.

Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1915-current, 1917-02-21


the public service commission that the
Elko Water company reduce its min.
imum rate on water, and that the
lontbly allowance be increased from
5000 TO 10000 gallons, will be carried
n the courts for final settlement
These two points and the question of
digging additional wells for water for
fire purposes are the only points OF
contention, as the company conceded
all other points at the recent hearing
in Carson City.
II is the claim OF the company that
the order Is confiscatory. as II will
not permit OF n reasonable rate OF in.
,erest on the money invested. at the
hearing II WAS set up that the income
from the water has averaged less than
eight per cent interest per year on an
investment of 100000. II the order
as made by the commission goes into
effect the revenue will be cut down ap.
Fortunately $4,000 year, which would
greatly decrease the rate OF interest.
For commercial and residence ser
vice the minimum charge is cut from
S2.50 10 $500. For bachelors cottages
the rate has been placed at Sl.50. This
Is 25 cents higher than Is charged
at present. The rental on fire hy-
drants has been increased from $3.50
10 $500 per month. There are 65 fire
hydrants.
On the amount OF water allowed. the
company COntendcd that IL more than
5000 gallons are allowed IL will neces-
state the pumping of large amount
OF well water into the maines, and IL
Is the desire OF the company to fur.
