Mr. Mann recently haa received sched ule, of water ratea charged In other cities and has found that Portland rates are considerably lowar then the others, fceveral other cities are pUnnlng on Increasing rates at once, owing to the Increased cost of materials. 1'rospects are thet outlaya of money for new construction may Increase In Portland, owing to the growing short age of houses and the probable In crease In building activity. Construc tion now Involves a much greater out lay of money than aver before because of the exceedingly high cost of east Iron pipe and mil kinds of rostal flt liass. M well as the cost of labor.
