John E. King, president of the coun-
Gil, today stated that a resolution pro-
testing the rate increase would be sub
mitted before the council at the regu-
lar meeting tonight. King said the
text OF the resolution would be against
any increase in rates, saying the
water company is in sound financial
condition is merely asking it's Gus
toners to furnish working capital.
Would Vote for Fund
And If the city needs any money
to hire experts to fight the case to the
finish, for my part am willing to vote
for any such measure" King said.
Although have not talked to other
members Of the council, think they
would take the same action"
Groninger has announced the city
will fight any rate increase and has
made arrangements with an expert
engineer and an accountant to inves-
I tigate the water company and place
the facts before the commission.
Groninger said he had a fund of
$4,000 available for hiring these men,
probably more would be needed. Gron-
niger has not stated whether or not
the city will ask the council for an
appropriation for the purpose.
New Accountant Present
Those present at the conference to-
| day were Judge c. H. Weir. Summer
! Clancy, z. o. Snethen, president OF
/ -, L
| ger and Benjamin Perk. expert public
utility accountant, employed today by
| the city.
1t was agreed that an attempt will
be made to establish a fair valuation
Of the water company based on the
| original investment and replacement
value, called by Groninger the actual
value, rather than on the reproduction
cost Of the utility's property.
Perk said that if rates were granted
| based on the valuation of SIC, 900 600,
set by the water company, that the
company would be able to declare a
dividend Of Is per cent. The company
says it is only making per cent.
Meter Rate Would Help
1t was pointed out that an exclusive
meter rate in place Of the fat rate
charged on most connections would
provide the company with more reve-
nue. without increasing production
costs.
Groninger said that this would help
to conserve the water supply of the
city and at the same time not neces-
sarily increase the amount charged
as persons would be more careful
with the use of water.
Weir said that these arguments
would be presented to the commission
in case it decided that it was
necessary to increase the rate.
