If City Wants Elaborate Inn

Water rates in Topeka are boosted.
AS the initial step toward the better
ment of water conditions in Topeka
the existing water schedule will be
revised completely.
That the city attorney be instructed
to frame an ordinance providing for
an increase in water rates was the mo-
ton laid before the city commissioners
this morning by Commissioner New
land. The motion was passed unani-
mouSly. .
Newland did not state any definite
amount with which the present sched-
ule would be enlarged. He, however,
favors a raise to the old schedule
which existed before the reduction to
the present basis.
George Hayden. city attorney. will
start at once on the revision of the
water rates which will help to put
water finances in much better. shape.
Recent agitation over the shortage has
given rise to the imminent possibility
OF improvements and additions to the
city water plant and supply system.
According to estimates these i'm
provements will cost considerable
money. A tunnel under the river to
furnish additional water will cost ap-
proxfmately 100000. This was the
chief recommendation of Wynecoup
kiersted, the hydraulic engineer once
employed by the city. According to
Mayor House, in order to make any
appreciabIe addition to the funds of
the city, rates must be raised at least
as high as the old rate.
Coal Costs More.
According to Newland, coal for the
year of 1917 cost the city $11, 800, In
1918, for the first six months Of the
year. the bill was s12,S92. A fair ex-
ample of rising costs. These must be
met, and if improvements SO apparent
ly needed are to be supplied. hike in
water rates is absolutely nece ssary as
the first step toward general better
ment of conditions.
New and Old Rate.
Water rates are rs follows:
