Alexandra Council Discusses
Water Rate Increase.
COMPAEY'S Side PRESENTED
President Of City Body Takes Side
Of the Consumers.

ALEXANDRIA, June 2.-The Joint
session OF the city council attracted
an interested body OF citizens last
night, when the proposed increase in
water rates was brought up for dis
cussion. Attorney Gardner L. Boothe
stated the case of the Alexandra
Water Company, and asked that ap-
prevail be given to the application to
raise the rates. He said the water
company is undercapitalized, and
that II is carrying notes to the
amount Of 1928, 700 for money used in
building a dam at Bancroft several
years ago. Howard w. Smith. presi-
dent of the city council, spoke for
the water consumers. He said: you
must either stand for the water COM
pany or for the people. shall stand
for the people" He said the water
company had practically inferred that
no power under heaven had q right
to do anything against 1t, and for
nifty years had held its ground along
that line.
After the Joint session adjourned
Councilman Bryan introduced a reso-
luton authorizing the finance com
mittee to continue the employment Of
counsel to look after the matter be-
fore the State Corporation Commits
sion. II was referred to the finance
committee for further consideration.

DRAFT BILL
REP ASSESSENATE
Army Measure Now Goes to
Conference.
DISPUTE ON AGE LIMITS
All Attempts to Amend the Bill In
the Senate Were Defeated--Con.
ferees Named.

the Senate Were Defeated-con.
ferees Named.
The administration army bill, with
the CONSUMPTION provision retained,
was passed anew by the senate, with.
out q roll-call.
1t stands virtually as approved by
the senate Saturday.
The senate directed that the house
be asked to appoint conferees. Sena-
tors Chamberlain, Democrat, Oregon;
Hitchcock, Democrat Nebraska, and
Warren, Republican, Wyoming, were
named as the senates conferees.
The two houses passed different
drafts Of the bill Saturday. Both
drafts provided for raising m army by
CONSUMPTION, but with certain other pro.
visions which are at variance. These
must be reconciled before tho measure
goes to the president.
An attempt to amend tho bill to re.
cruit troops for the present emergen.
cy" instead Of the "existing war" was
beaten before the bill was passed the
second time. Some senators did not
feel they would authorize a draft In
war other than against Germany.
Senator Lafollette, Republican, Wis.
consin, introduced an amendment for
national CONSUMPTION referendum.
The senator spoke, opposing the
draft as un.American. The amend.
ment afterward was rejected, sixty.
eight to tour. Senators Gore, Demo.
cratic, Oklahoma; Gronna, Republic can,
North Dakota; Vardaman, Democrat,
Mississippi, and Lafolletto voted for
It. '.s = <As n VI S5.s,.
Republican senators hope the house
Will yield In its opposition to tho Har.
ding amendment, authorizing accep.
lance Of Colonel Roosevelt's offer to
raise an army division for service in
France.
The chief point of difference in the
drafts Is in the CONSUMPTION age limi.
tations. The senate will Instruct It's
conferees to hold out for the dim.
Its of twenty-one and twenty7seven
years. The house Is insisting on an
age limitation Of from twenty-one to
forty years. Indications are compro-
mise may be reached.
Senator McCumber, Republican,
North Dakota, offered an amendment
to strike out Of the bill the clause
exempting from CONSUMPTION members
Of religious sects opposed ito war.
This was defeated, flfty-four to seven.
teen.
Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
denounced the amendment, passed as
part Of the bill authorizing acceptance
Of Colonel Roosevelt's offer to raise
a division Of volunteers for immediate
service in France.
An amendment by Senator Gronna
to prohibit manufacture during the
war of agricultural products into aiqu.
or was rejected without record vote.
Senator Weeks, Republican, Massa.
chusetts, offered an amendment to all.
thcrize the president to accept for for.
eign service company Of the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery of Boston.
This was rejected by viva voca vote.
