CITY ADOPTS RATE
Water Board's Recommenda
tions Pass Council.'
ONE JJISSENTER RECORDED
Councilman Rushlight Opposes
Proposition as He Believes Rates
Discriminatory Changes Will
Go Into Effect December 31.
Mayor Simon declared to the City
Council yesterday afternoon that the
"Water Board will be glad to install a
meter in any house where the occu
pants wish one. and that it will be
equally glad to remove any meter from
any dwelling.
With this assurance the Council
adopted the schedule of rates recom
mended by the Board with but one dis
senting vote, that of Councilman Rush
light, who said "he feels that the rates
are discriminatory. The minimum
rate of 75 cents a month and flat rate
6f 50 cents a month will therefore be
in force and effect after December 31.
1009.
Questioned by Councilman Annand as
to whether or not the "Water Board
will. install any more meters in dwell
ings, Mayor ijimon replied that, in his
opinion, there will he enough meters
removed from houses where occupants
will decide to take the 50-cent flat
rate to equip all such houses as are
desired.
Man Socks Motor Six MvmtJis.
Mr. Annand said he knew of a man
who had been trying for six months
to get a meter in his homo but had
not yet succeeded. He was Davinir
yuch more for water than his next
Joor neighbor, said Mr. Annand. and
wuiifmerpu II ur.JUSt.
9 "It is my opinion," said Mayor Simon,
"that, there will be no trouble on this
point. hthe Council passes the ordi
nance now before it. adopting the rates
recommended by the "Water Board. Wo
have had this matter under considera
tion ever since we came Into office
last Julyand have "spent much time
with it. AVe have recommended the
most equitable set of rates that we
could arrange, and I think that, with
a minimum ot 75 cents for meters,
there will be many-wko will wish to
economize and will take advantage of
the flat rate of 50 jcents. We will be
glad to install anj? meters asked for
or remove any."
Councilman Annand was satisfied, but
not so with Councilman Rushlight. He
Bald that he believes there should be
one rate for all; that if one house is
metered, all should be, and everyone
placed on an equal basis. He is even
opposed to granting a lower "rate to
large consumers, as was done by the
Water Board, than to smaller ones, and
therefore voted against the passage of
the ordinance.
Mayor Simon expresses himself as
well pleased with the rates submitted
to the Council, which were adopted by
the passage of the required ordinance.
He says they are as equitable as thev
can be made with meters in some
houses and not in others.
A good many people have been pay
ing anywhere from 25 to 60 per cent
less for water since meters were in
stalled than before, and Mayor Simon
toia t,ie counciimen that such a state
of affairs is ridiculous and must be
remedied. The flat rate of 50 cents
for a single; tap, he said, was left for
the benefit of all who feel they are
unable to pay more and who wish to
economize in their use of water.
Houseboats Are Affected.
The Council reconsidered its action
in' passing an ordinance prohibiting
houseboats on the Willamette River
within the city limits, and sent the
ordinance to the committee on health
and police for consideration. It is
probable thRt a fight will be made
y scowdwellers. through Councilman
Rushlight, to defeat passage of the or
dinance again, as they want the privi
lege of remaining in their scow houses
on the river. There is no possibility-,
however, of this eventually being de
feated, as Mayor Simon and nearly all
of the members of the Council realize
that the river must be cleared.
A deed to a strip of ground 200 feet
wide and one mile long, donated to the
city for a boulevard by the Terwilliger
heirs, was ordered filed. This is choice
property and will be improved for a
part of the great boulevard system that
is to connect all of the city's parks.
A special committee, consisting of
Councilmen Watkins. Wallace and Men-
eree, was elected by the Council . to
consider a report recently made as to
property owned by the city which per
haps should be sold.
SEMBRICH HAS RECOVERED
Great Soprano Almost Well and Will

Sembrich is having a most triumphant
tour, ovation following ovation in every
city she visits. "Mme. Sembrich de
lighted an audience that must have num
bered 8000 persons at the t?oliseum last
night," says the St. Iouis Republic. "She
sang with Damtwch's Orchestra, - In
every sense the concert was successful.
It was brilliant.
"Sembrich never appeared in finer
health; Bha has lost not a whit of the
purity and color of her tone; she is if
possible an improved artist, and taking
Into consideration the difference between
operatic and concert singing, the Immen
sity of the Coliseum, it is quite within
the realm of safe-saying to aver that
Mme. Sembrich never has appeared or
been heard to a greater advantage in St.
Louts.
"Tne 'Voce di Primavera' waltz song
brought down tlie -house. Then to satisfy
it she sang a little English song and
Anally, in response to a tremendous dem
onstration, accompanied herself in a
French song that gave her the best op
portunity for -the display, of her perfect
finish and technique."
Sembrich will sing at the Armory Jan
uary 6, assisted by her own company.
Jis Steers-Wynn Coman are making
preparations for the comfort of those
who attend, and the Armory will be as
pleasant a place for the big audience that
will gather to hear the great diva as
it was Qjfeoccasion of the Sciiumann-ii-eink
and the lamrosoh Orchestral concerts.
OUR WATER SYSTEM.
Statement of An Extreme or Radical
View.
PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 29. (To the
Editor.) His Honor, fho Mayor, has
called a water election, and has said
something about water rates; therefore,
I wish to ask him a few questions:
First Do you know that the city wa
ter belongs to all the people of Port
land, and should not be managed as an
asset of the vacant lot owners?
Second Do ;ou know that j our amend
ment of the Charter will give free water
mains to the . vacant lot owners at the
expense of the poor renters and small
home owners?
Third Do you know that your amend
ment will give $200,000 worth - of free
water mains to Laurelhurst (the Lradd
tract) at the expense of renters?
Fourth Is any member of your Water
Board interested in Leurelhurst?
Fifth Are all the promoters of addi
tions like Laurelhurst so hard up that
they must be helped to a few dollars
from all the renters and small home
owners ?
Sixtli Why should the water consum
ers of Portland pay J12 per year for the
same water Cleveland. Ohio, furnishes
for $9? Cleveland has to pump its wa
ter, while we have gravity. Reading. Pa..
Manchester. N. H. and Trenton. N. J.,
ail collect t9 per year, while Portland
pays SIC for the same water. Chicago
collects JS.20. 6L Paul $8 Minneapolis S.
Cincinnati $8 per year fcV the same wa
ter we pay SV2 for. Atlanta, Ga.. col
lects J7.20 and Salt Lake City $7 to our
$12. Detroit. Mich., collects $5.20 and
has to pump, while we pay S1?V for
gravity. Buffalo, N. X.. collects S5 to
our $1i'. and Dayton. Ohio, collects $4.20
for the same water we pay $12 for.
All the above cities, like Portland,
own their water systems, but unlike
Portland, do not try to fleece the water
consumers the way Portland does.
' The actual cost of running the water
system of Portland, including its ex
travagant management- and interest. Is
about $200,000 per year, but we-collect
over $600.900.. If the surplus $400,000 Is
used to improve private property with
free water mains and free Are hydrants,
it is a robbery of the poor for the benefit
of the rich, i
The men who take money from the
poor by force of their offices and give it
to the rich are breaking the eighth com
mandment. II. D. WAGNON.

THEX DIES BT GAS.
Mrs. Martha Schmidt. Married Little
Over Year. Wants to Sleep For
. v ever, bo She Wins Wish.
- r
A riling a short note upon a postal-card
saying that she desired to sleep for all
lime, and thn dropping a 25-cent piece
in a slot-machine gas meter, Mrs. Mar
tha. Schmidt, 1.9 years old, -wife of Ber
nard Schmidt, proprietor of the Madison
Bakery. 237 Madison street, turned on the
gas yesterday morning In their room in
the Madteon rooming-house. Front and
Madison street, lay on the 'floor with her
mouth close to the escaping poison and
waited for death.
The suicide was discovered a short time
afterwards by the landlady of the house,
who, alarmed by the strong odor of gas.
tried to break, in the door. Unsuccessful,
she rushed to the husband of the woman,
at work In his bakery, and brought him
to the scene. It was too late, however.
jDr. Irving was summoned, but death had
come and all efforts to revive the woman
were unavailing.
The motive for the suicide is puzzling.
On the postal she wrote: I am tired
because I cannot sleep, but I believe t
will now sleep forever.' The woman
was dressed in her night clothing.
The Schmidts had been married 16
months. She was a native of Germany.
