Reuort was received yesterday az
ternoon from Charleston that the ap'
plication to raise water. rates here
has been considered carefully and
that permission Is now given to raise
the rates. The application was made
to the commission some weeks age
and because there was one party to
protest the application has been hung
up all this time. The paryito object
10 raised rates here, q rather large
corporation, after taking the matter
into consideration has somewhat with
drawn objections. It was represent
ed by the city department that the
increased water rent would give the
city more funds to take care Of poor
water lines. many. Of which are too
small and have other deficiencies.
The concern felt It was already
paying a large water rent and that
It's pipe line was not big enough to
provide an adequate supply Of water
Tor fire insurance. Upon later con-
sideration the increased rate was
seen to take care Of this. The new
rates viii increase water rates to the
fat consumer Of about three dollars

ed from 30 to 40 cents on the first
$4,000 gallons Manufacturing and
industrial rates will be increased
from IS to 70 per cent according to
amount Of water used. &!
The new rates will gol into effect
