Editor, The P ilo t: The Gold
Beach V\ a te r company was organ
ized in 1912 as a corporation of
the S ta te of Oregon. This was
41 years ago. The original rate
for service for a home with
bath, toilet and wash bowl, was
$1.75 subject to 10% discount if
paid by the tenth of the month.
The system was unm etered until
1929 when some m eters w ere in
stalled. At this tim e the com
pany applied for a reduction in
rates to $1.50 per service, allow
ing 3750 gals, per m onth per
service. This ra te was continued
until 1949 when application was
again m ade to the commission
and the ra te was returned to $1 75
per m onth which is the present
rate.
T here are m any newcomers to
this com m unity as well as old
residents who m ay not be in - 1
formed about this. It is doubtful
if any other u tility in the state
of Oregon has had no increase in
41 years. One certain thing is
that w ater rate s in some form
are going to be much higher in
this locality before long.

The congregations in all C hris
tian Science churches on Jan u ary
25 heard read from the Bible
(Luke 13) the healing account of
a woman who "was bowed to
gether. and could in no wise lift
up herself ” In their consideration
of the subject "T ru th .” it was
{ then concluded in a reference
¡from "Science and H ealth w ith
Key to the S criptures" by Mary
Baker Fddy (p. 495), ¡fff sickness
is true or the idea of T ruth, you
! cannot destroy sickness, and it
would be absurd to try. Then
classify sickness and e rro r as our
M aster »lid. when he spoke o f the
sick, 'whom S atan hath bound,’
and find a sovereign antidote for
e rro r in the life-giving power of
T ru th acting on hum an belief, a
power which opens the prison
doors to such as are bound, and
sets the captive free physically
and m orally.”
