Main 6814,' WATER RATE HELD UP COUXCIX AXI BOARD, FAIL TO AGREE OX SCHEDULE. a . Superintendent Dodge Replies to Criticisms Directed at Opera tion of Department. That the Water Board will oppose making changes in the city water rates for 1913, as requested by the City Council, is apparent in a general state ment of the situation issued yesterday by Frank T. Dodge, .superintendent. after consultation with members of the Board, The Council voted to send the water rate recommendations of the Water Board back to that body for reconsideration, the desire being to have the Board fix a standard rate for water in 1000-gallon amounts and also to establish a minimum meter rate of 60 cents a month and to pay interest on deposits for water meters. It is explained by Superintendent Dodge that the supposed deposit on meters is really only advance payment on what the Water Board estimates will be the amount of water consumed. Interest on the amount would aggre gate about 5 cents a year for each con sumer, and to keep track of the in terest would require the services of several additional cjerks In the depart ment. Mr. Dodge -Says that property in the city is not subject to lien on account of water bills, and If advance payment was not required the city would lose much revenue. Regarding the demand of Councilman Magulre that a flat rate for water be charged regardless of the amount used, Mr. Dodge says: Water is furnished to very large con sumers Jtt a less meter rate than the aver age consumers sre for the reason that it costs teas to do so. A very large consumer reaulres hut one meter and one reading each month, while it would require a great many meters and readings In furnishing the same quantity of water to the smaller consumer. Unless the opposition to the Water Board recommendations wanes the city mav be without a legal water rate after January 1. It will be necessary at the next meeting of the Council to have 12 votes for the establishment of the rates so as to pass the rate ordinance with an emergency clause attached. This is the first time the Council has refused to adopt the Water Board rate recommendations. An Unassailable Tide : Is the essential thing to secure in buying real estate.
