A. M. Hubbard Next
A. M. Hubbard said he was in
favor Of the proposed raise in rates
under certain conditions. But as
the new mayor and council would
be seated early in May he did not
think this should be hurried but
should hold over to give them a
chance to assert themselves. He
gave a rather technical talk on pres
sure and pumps. He stated that
under the present system the people
near the old bridge got the best
pressure while he and his neigh
bors on the hill some 80 feet above
the rest of town received very little
water in summer. To better this
condition he said he knew money
could not be taken from the air,
but if the rates were increased he
would like to know that the money
so gained was to be used for the
betterment of the water system.
With this as the concluding testi-
mony, the meeting was adjourned
to be opened again at Helena on
May 10. BY that time the city Of
ficers were requested to get their
information into the office at Hell

His only defeat during the last
two months came in relief role.
Kinder reached his peak last

his 18th of the year against f1ve
