 .Bessemer, July 16.-(Special.) )-- There will come up for considera- tion, it is understood, at the council meeting Tuesday evening the ques- ton of water rates adjustment and revision for the city of Bessemer. for some months and a committee was appointed by the city council to appear before the public service com mission of Alabama in an effort to have the rates lowered. Up to this time no report has been made by the committee.
 Several conferences have been held between city officiols and officials of the Alabama Water Works, but as yet there has been no reduction in the rates.
 Numbers of citizens seem to be of the opinion that this would be propitious time to bring the matter to an agreement.
