VOTE ON WATER
Was Not Question of Rates
That Caused His Action on
Resolution, He Says.
BUT ONE OF PROPRIETY
Feels Matter of Rate Fixing is
up to Water Board and Not
Board of Aldermen.

Alderman John J. Clark this morn
ing sent a letter to the editor of the
EVENING NEWS explaining his
vote Monday night on the matter of
going on record as favoring a thir-
teen cent rather than a fifteen cent
water rate in the city. Alderman
Clark and Albert G.. Waters we're the
only two members of the board 10
vote may" on the resolution. Mr..
Clark explains the question of rates
did not enter his mind, but instead
be considered only the propriety in
bringing up such a resolution for the
aldermen to vote on.
The fifth ward alderman's letter
follows:
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
I'm your issue of Feb. 23, you gave
an account of a discussion that took
pace in the council chamber over
a resolution of censure of a legisla-
tive act of the Board of Water Com
missioners in relation to water rates.
The person reading this account
would come to the conclusion that
Alderman Clark favored the thirteen
cent rate as against the fifteen cent
rate. Such is not the case. The
question of rates did not enter my
mind. rather the propriety in bring
ing up such a resolution for the
Board of Aldermen to act upon.
Il felt then and feel now that it
ill becomes the Board of Aldermen
to censure body that they. the
Board of Aldermen. created in ac-
cordance with the statute law of the
state. Furthermore. / felt then and
feel now, that the passing of such a
resolution by the Board Ct Aldermen
was apt to compromise the mayor
inasmuch as the rate adjustments
now pending before the water COM
missieners will have to come before
the mayor for his approval or dis
approval. And if the Board of Water
Commissioners can show the mayor
the business and necessity of such
rate adjustments, he. the mayor, will
have no alternative other than ap-
prove of such adjustments.
Consequently. as a result of such
approval, he will have to disapprove
the resolution introduced by Mr..
Wester and passed by a vote of five
for and two against last Monday
night. | feel that the Board of AL
dermen is not responsible for legis-
lative acts of the Board of Water
Commissioners and the passing of
the resolution Monday night censur-
ing the Board of Water Commission
ers, who have a sworn duty to per-
form, is to my mind. bunk-pure
and simple"
