HATCH C1N7RADICTS :. BOARD G FINANCE
(Continued from First Page)

''The water department furnishes water free to all city buildings, fire hydrants, and for street sprinkltns or other city uses, and makes no charge for water used by factories OF others for i've hydrants or auto- matic sprinklers.
 "The water board maintains that we should no longer sell water at les than cssk as we ars now, doing, for in the cot should be included interest on the value of the plant and depreciation on same. as we'll as the current operating expenses. Then . larga part of the capital needed for necessary street main ex- tensions could be provided without the necessity of resortiny to large bond issues.
 Tn this view of the rate matter tho water board differs radically from that held by the board of finance and taxation. as the board of finance and taxation hold that the water rate should be kept down and the additions to our supply paid for by bond issues. I believe the policy proposed by the water board to reviee cuf rates and methods of a1essin9 rhasges (which would re- suit in aboat 70 per cent additional income) to be justified by good bus iness principles, but as long as the board of finance refuses to approve, you will continue to obtain water at less than the fair cost of producing same.
 "The rates must be adequate, otherwise the rates of future years will be unduly advanced"

SELLING MOVEMENT GAINS MOMENTUM
UnilVola6e Railroad Earnings Bdie7d Responsible

New York. Feb. 1 OH - Renewal of selling pressure against the rail- road shares, presumably in refiec- tion of the disappointing December railroad statements now being pub lished. turned the course of prices reactionary today after m early period of quiet strength. Trading. which had been dull on the rally. quickened perceptibly when large selling orders appeared in some Of tho popular issues. A b-point break in Western Maryland common started the selling.
 Publication of the unfavorable quarterly report of the United States Steel corporation apparently had been fairly we'll discounted. and traders appeared more interested in the further increase in the mill operations of the corporation to around Ss per cent of capacity. Talk of further advance in sheet prices also was a bullish factor Steel common opened . point lower. but had recovered the loss by mid day.
 Call money renewed at { l.: per cent as against yesterday and the plentiful supply available at that figure aroused hopes of . further decrease before the end of the week. Some encouragement also was seen in the fact that the daily average of crude oil production last week was the smallest since 1926. although this was offset by a poor Marland Oil report, which showed @ large deficit.
 Public utilities displayed a strong undertone in the face of the sen- ate interstate commerce committees decision to recommend an investi- gation of public utilities doing an interstate business.
 l.aclede Gas jumped points. De- troit Edison 6 1-2 and several others moved up ? to { points be- fore the market turned reactionary. Montgomery-Ward advanced two points to a new record high at 13: but quickly lost its gain. Stude- baker and Packard also recorded good gains in the early trading.
 Rails sold of I to 3 points, with the eastern carriers the hardest hit.
