NEW WATER RATE. CHANGES SPLANS.
Chase Brass & Copper Co. AbandOns Private Sup.
 ply Objective

The Chase Brass and Copper Company is dropping plans for ex- pansion of It's private water supply system as Q result of the new slid- ing!scale rates being adopted by the city, according to Rodney Chase, public relations director. The firm will continue to use its own water when available, but will make no effort to enlarge it's supply and ex- poets to increase its consumption of city water.
 Other large local plants ere ex- pected to follow suit. The new rates are also expected to discourage the sinking of artesian wells by private interests.
 Increased consumption of city wa- ter by factories and other large users was predicted by the mayors special water committee in recon. inending the new rates. The new schedule, which will be voted on by the board of aldermen tonight, gives concessions to large consumers by reducing rates from 16 1-2 cents to six cents per 100 cubic feet If cons sumption gees beyond . certain figure.
 Factories have had to purchase much more city water than usual during the past year because of the drying-up of their own dams. The new rate scale, 1t Is believed, will encourage even more extensive use of the city water and thereby bring in more revenue to the water de-. partinent.
