REJECTS NEW
RATE SCHEDULE
Counsel Tells City Fathers That
Tariffs Are Too Low
ACTION IS DEFERRED
Commissioner Kirk Suggests
Matter Go Over Until Full
Board Meets

Several hours were spent Monday
night by the city commission in con-
sidering water rates. Andrew Miller,
attorney for the Bismarck Water
company, stated that the new rates
could not be accepted. These rates
were promulgated by the commission
at the same time that a. revision was
made in the electric and heat rates.
Nh. Miller presented a statement OF
costs and stated that il the present
rates were, made effective, the COM
pany could not continue to operate
and meet it's various fixed charges.
Mr.. Miller, said that the water COM
pany had received the proposed sched-
ulesof rates suggested by the city
commission. He. said that such pro-
posed schedule of rates would reduce
the revenues of the company between
20 and rs per cent; that to SO reduce
the rates would produce a revenue far
below the actual cost Of operating the
plant. From the books of the COM
pany he gave the following figures
to- bear this out:
He showed that for the fiscal year
Of 1918 the company pumped III mil
lion gallons of water; that the fixed
charges, of which he furnished the
commission the separate items, in
Guiding the sum Of $4,446.71 taxes,
amounted to $40,176.93
From these two figures he showed
that the actual cost of. pumping each
1000 gallons was 1873 cents; that for
the month Of July, 1918, the entire
rnl,ovs1n $or, %hn -, nrn<n - o,,n<oIr ~
22..9 cents per 1000 gallons; that for
the year 1917 the entire revenue of
the company per 1000 gallons was be-
tween "a and Is cents. He stated that
under the present charter the COM
pany was furnishing water to the city
at IL cents per 1000 gallons, or at a
loss of 11.3 cents per 1000 gallons. He
said that the company did not pay
any salaries to officers of the COM
pany and had not paid a dividend on
stock since 1910; that it had no sur
plus or sinking fund and that there.

GUILTY PLEA
Some Doubt Whether Johnson
Really Attempted to Bride
Bur1eigh County Board
CONFUSED RULES OF DRAFT
Tells Court He Thought He Could
Purchase Immunity From
Draft as in Civil War

Judge Amidon refused today to re-
ceive the plea OF guilty to. a charge of
interfering with the draft rendered by
John Johnson, Grass Lake farmer,
who is accused OF offering members
Of the Eurleigh county draft board
$500 to exempt his son from military
service.
Mr.. Johnson told the court this
morning that he did not think he diG
any wrong as he was under the i'm
preston that immunity from the draft
could be purchased legally as was
done in, Civil war days.
After hearing what MI. Johnson and
his attorney Theodore Koffel had to
say in the morning, Judge Amidon put
the case over until 3 p. III. Al. the af-
ternoon session, the court refused to
