Water
RATE ACTION
Aldermen Not Satisfied With
Water Boards New Move;
Will Hold Conference.

The amendment to the present
water rates now in effect in this city.
passed on first reading by the Board
of Water Commissioners at their
meeting Wednesday night, does not
satisfy the Board of Aldermen. and
notices were sent the water COM
missioners this morning by order of
Alderman-at-Large John N. Wester.
requesting them to meet with the
aldermen tonight in committee ses-
sion'to further discuss the matter.
The water rates now in effect
make the minimum bill So quarter
(three months) for maximum of
500 cubic feet of water. All water
over 500 cubic feet must be paid
for at the rate of 15 cents per hun
dred feet.
The new rates, under the amend
ment, unanimously passed by the
water board Wednesday night fol-
lowing discussion with the alder
men. increases the minimum to $S
per quarter but also increases the
amount of water which can be Sc
cured for that sum from 500 cubic
feet to 1900 cubic feet.
At the meeting of the water COM
missioners and aldermen Wednesday
night Alderman John N.
Wester suggested that the minimum
be increased to SO but at the same
time he argued that the maximum
amount of water which could be Sc
cured for this amount should be
placed at 1000 cubic feet. The
water mmissioners stated that the
average consumption per quarter of
a private house was 1900 cubic feet,
and they were of the belief that the
maximum amount. of water allowed
consumers for the minimum price
should not be higher than 1900 cubic
feet. The water commissioner RS
pointed out waste of water would
be likely on the part of consumers
if they knew they could secure 1000
cubic feet a month for as much as
they would. be. required to pay for
100 or more. Faucets would be al
lowed to run. and leaks not attended
to, the water commissioners MAIN
tanned, thus resulting in a waste of
the city's water supply.
large Wester. who is
leading the fight of the aldermen
against the present rates and the
rates as amended Wednesday night.
argues that when the matter Of
erecting a reservoir was discussed
by the aldermen and water commits
sioners the aldermen were given to
understand that the additional re-
ceipts, necessary to pay the interest
on the reservoir bonds. would be de-
rived from the large industrial con-
sumers whose rates would be raised.
Instead. the alderman declares. the
small consumers are standing the
blunt of the increases and the fac
tories are getting reduced rates. Mr..
v.ester has said that he realizes ad-
ditional receipts must be forthcom-
ing from the water department in
order to pay the additional $500
daily expense caused by the issuance
OF water bonds but under the pres
ent arrangement. he claims. the bur-
den lies with the small property
owner.
