 Scan Water Rates-There has been considerable diScussion of a new sched- ,ule of water rates submitted to the city by the Alabama Water company Fri day and city officials urge that consum- CTS take advantage of the company s offer to ascertain how the new rates will affect them individually.
 The company has prepared a large number of forms upon which they will compute the rates as applied to the consumers bills during the last year. The chief objection to the new schedule of rates is the fact that the maximum amount allowed quarterly has been ma terially decreased. It is the conten- tlon of the company and the engineer of the public service Commission that this will be sufficient for the average consumers needs, and the purpose of the company in comparing last years consumption with the proposed sched- ,lile is to find if this is correct.
 The public service commission win be furnished data on hoNeths proposeti rntes would have operated under the water consumption during the last. year. Shortly after that date they will pass on. the new schedule, and if it is ap- proved, it will become effective Octo- Der 1.
