CITY WATER RATES.
WIFE BE ADVANCED.
IN NEAR FUTURE
Minimum Charge for Met
cred Service to Be
Dollar a Month. !
SOME OTHER CHANGES
Revenues of the Water De-
partment are Not :
Adequate Now.
S9ME OTHER CHANGES

The minimum monthly charge for
water by meter to the domestic con-
sumner will increased from fifty cents
to one dollar, the fiat rate from seven
ty-five cents to one dollar and consum.
ers outside the city limits will pay %
per cent more for their water service
than consumers residing within the
city If the proposed new schedule
now before the Public Service Commits
sion is approved. July 8 has been set
by the commission for the hearing be-
fore the Public Service Commission.
The first of the month the city will
send out announcements to all the con-
sumers of the city affected announc-
ing the date of the hearing and the
proposed new schedule.
At present the minimum charge for
meter ds ffft ycents per month to the
domestic consumer and consumers liY-
ing outside the city limits are paying
ten per cent additional for their wa
ter service. The increase will make
the minimum charge for q meter one
dollar per month and twenty five per-
cent additional for service outside the
city limits.
When the meters were installed ov-
er the city last spring, the cost OF wa
ter to the domestic consumer was re.
duced from nine dollars per year to six
dollars per year. This decrease OF
over thirty per cent in revenues has
made 1t necessary for the water depart

vide for additional revenues. The
matter has been carefully thought out
and the schedule has been forwarded
TO the Public Service Commission for
approval. If approved the increase to
those on meter will go into effect the

Will End Allied blockade.

Washington-The National AS
sembly by ratifying the treaty makes
it possible for the Allied and Asso-
ciated Powers to raise the blockade.
Official notification was sent Germany
June 20 that the blockade would be
raised when the treaty was ratified.
Placing this condition on the raising
of the blockade was looked on in
Peace Conference circles as sure
plan for obtaining speedy ratification
by Germany.
When three of the principal Allied
Powers, in addition to Germany, have
ratified the treaty, it becomes effec-
tive for those who have ratified II.
The state department realizing the
Importance of giving American bust
ness interests an advantageous posi-
ton in the race for German trade, has
made arrangements to have the Amer
lean consular service in Germany be-
gin to function at the earliest possible
moment
While a number of the former
American consuls in Germany and
Austris-Hungary now are either in
America or have been assigned to
posts in other countries, a sufficient
number are in Europe at points near
enough to admit OF their quick trans
fer.

LAST HOPE OF VETS DASHED
President Says Generalization VIII
Not Be Completed This Year.


Washington.-Pre Wilson has
dashed the last hopes of the anti-pro-
hibitionists as to the possible resump-
ton of the sale of liquors, light wines
and beers in this country prior to tn"
time the constitutional amendment
forbidding the manufacture and sale
goes into effect on January 16 next.
The president indicated there was
no possible chance for a speedy de-
mobilization of the army to the point
where he would feel justified in pro-
claiming rehabilitation complete.
The enforcement of the military and
naval terms, the president said, was
bound to slow up rehabilitation. For
this reason there seems no reason for
hope that the liquor ban will be lifted.
He further said Attorney General
Palmer was entirely right in ruling
that the president cannot proclaim
peace with Germany until the treaty
with that country has been ratified By
the senate.

PRESIDENT DISCUSSES TREATY
Quoted As Saying That He Opposed
Giving shantuna to Japan.

hington-President Wilson is
quoted as saying that he is not salts
fed with the treaty provision giving
Shantung to Japan, but as declaring
there was an informal understanding
among the peace delegates that even
tually Japan must make an acceptable
agreement with China in the matter.
He was represented as expressing con-
fidence that Japan would deal rightly
in the final settlement.
Discussing the failure OF the peace
conference to receive the representa-
tives of Irish-American organizations
on behalf OF Irish freedom, Mr.. Will
son was said to have told senator's
that the representatives had so iden-
titled themselves with the revolution
airy element in Ireland that it became
impossible to receive them.
He was quoted as saying that both
he and David Lloyd George, the British
premier, had been anxious to arrange

Washington-The war cost the Uni

30, 1919 Sec. Glass made this esti-
mate in submitting to the congression-
al appropriations committee the pre-

the condition of the nations finances.
He arrived at the estimate by sub
tracing the average peace-time ex-
penses for the same length of time, at
the rate of $1,O0O.000,OOO annually
from the total expenditure So, APT ,000,-
900 during the war.
Taxes and other revenues than bor-
rowed money took care of $9,3S4,000,-
900 or about 20 per cent of the war
cost. The remainder came from Lib
erty bond and Victory note issues and
saving stamps.
Further issues of bonds, Mr.. Glass
said, will not be necessary before
the maturity or redemption of the VIC
tory notes." which have four years to
run. The treasury Is confident that
the treasury certificates supplemented
by short-term notes will provide the
necessary funds to pay the govern
ment's debts during the current fiscal
year.
