DRASTICE REVISION
OF WATER RATES
Is NOT INTENDED
Especial Moline service)

Water rates are not to receive
drastic change as the result of the
new water ordinance probably to
be presented to the Moline city
council this evening, according to
Alderman Perry Merriman, chair
man of the water and light com
mittee.
Mr. Merriman is in favor of me-
terizing the water system of Mo-
line and thereby. he claims, reduc-
ing the burden on the small water
consumers and enlarging the share
OF heavy consumers. He believes
that meterization Of the city will
bring about the following two
changes:
1. 1t will lower the cost to the
small consumer because with a me-
ter his water will cost less than
under the present fat rate.
2. 1t will increase the cost to the
large consumer because the large
consumer on a fat rate is not pay
ing as much as he would if his fac
tory were equipped with a meter.
One drawback for not placing
meters in all the homes in the city
is that the meters cost so high.
Some of the large meters would
cost approximately $500. Alder
man Merriman claims that the city'S
revenue would be increased and
also the quantity of water consum-
ed would be lowered if the city
were meterized.
