LARGE CONSUMERS
WOULD PAY DEFICIT
OF Meter RENTALS

City Attorney Bond stated TODAY
that an examination of the recent COM
mission audit of the books of the Rich
mond City Water Works company in
dlcated that the company by collecting
a meter rental charge had been re-
celvlng practically the entire amount
OF revenue the commission had ruled
it was entitled to, 100000 annually.
In other words the audit revealed the
fact that ii the company was deprived
OF Its income from meter rentals there
would be deficit of approximately
$4,000 In the company's authorized
revenue.
Il intend to propose to the COM
mission a readjustment of the local
water rate schedule which will elimi-
nate the meter rental charge but
assure the water works company its
authorized revenue" Mr.. Bond added.
The deficit which would result from
depriving the company of its meter
rental income can be offset by a re-
classification of rates. The rates I
will propose will not affect the do
mestic consumers in the least as I
would retain in my schedule the pres
ent maximum charge, which is 20
cents per thousand gallons. A slightly
increased rate can be provided for
some of the larger water consumers.
This plan will, In fact, benefit the
domestic consumers for it will elimi.
nate their meter rental charge. which
amounts to 81 per year, without in
creasing their rates."

AS OUTLINED IN new BILL

Miss Sarah Hill, secretary Of the
Richmond school board and one Of
the few women in Indiana holding
such an Office, in an interview today
gave her endorsement to a bill now

Miss Hill stated that she believed
the time had now arrived for the in
PRODUCTION of the Swiss system of
military training for all American
school boys but she expressed doubt
as to the advisability of introducing
such training in the Richmond schools
at the present time because of oppo-
sition to military preparedness on the
part of members of the Friends
church, who constitute a considerable
percentage of the city's population.
Miss Hill is a sister of E. G. Hill of

he would employ 100 men here, the
number employed in the Norwood
plant.
To Consider Terms
Backers of the factory funG learned
of the proposed establishment through
Philip Schneider, uncle of Mrs. Rain.
They expect to offer RAIN an induce.
ment to place his factory in Rich

few days, probably this week, to dis

1t is said there is every probability
that Rain will begin manufacturing
his new lathe here because of his re-

Because of the extensive prison labor
