Livingston, Sept. 9.-(SpeciaD.
The water fight which has been
raging between the city council
and the people for the past eigh-
teen months was settled here to-
day. Except for few face
swing provisions for the city dads,
the settlement constitutes a dis
tinct and far-reaching victory for
the people.
Water rates have been cut in an
amount that runs from nothing on
the Northern Pacific shops, larg-
est consumer, to twenty per cent
on small consumers. The average
reduction is about thirteen per
cent. This is in addition to a re-
duction that may run anywhere
from six to ten percent, secured
about three months ago, by the IN
stallation of several hundred adj
ditional meters.
About ten thousand dollars
worth of delinquent water &C
counts, held against destitute fam
lilies, who are unable to pay, have
been practically wiped off the
books. Destitute persons who have
been deprived of water for the past
year will be reconnected to water
service.
Final settlement was secured by
agreements, in the presence of the
Montana Public Service Commits
sion, which had ordered a second
! hearing on rates and discrimina'
tions, after a previous order fol

The Emporia editor. likely member

"A fat chance a ticket would have if
it were headed by progressive Repub-

flying leaden tail-like with Gov. Davey

Al Smith," he said.
Asserting this election cannot be
won without getting the votes of inde-
pendent, forward-loo Republicans
who voted for Roosevelt four years ago
and were fooled" White concluded
his independent supporters have come
to their senses.
