PEOPLE WILL HAVE
OPPORTUNITY TO SAY
WHEN TO PAY BILLS
Daly's Proposition for Quar
) ; terly Settlement to Go on
the Ballot,
REFUND OF ALL DEPOSITS
' , Conunliiionn of Public TtUltla Be
lieves Xrffe SaMnff Will Be Kid
i In Keeping Aocounte.

The nlun of Will H. Daly, commit-
eloner of public utilities, to collect
water bills , quarterly will appear on
. tho bHlot of the special city election,
October 27.
- The chief effect of this ordinance
J. which the people are asked to approve
: la that 'water billa inntead of being
collected once a month aa at present,
will be collected every three months.
Collections wiU not be made in ad
Vance, but after use.
The occupant of the premises will
be billed. This is the present rule. It
lias been said that landlords will have
to collect the water rentals from their
.tenants under the proposed ordinance.
.This Is not true. The present practice
of billing the occupant of the prom
ises will -be followed, if bills are' not
paid within 10 days after maturity,
the water will be turned off and will
not be turrid?on again until the bills
are paid. This Is also the present prac
the,
Frepaymente Will Ba Befunded.
If the ordinance is adopted all de
posits and prepayments - will be re
funded to' water consumers, and no
more deposits in advance of service
will be required.
The minimum meter rate will be
made 50 cents a month. This Is the
present flat rate minimum. Tho de
alre is to have minimum charges for
Hat mid metered services uniform.
Hy collecting four times a year,.!n
atead of 12 times a year, as at pres
ent, CornmiHslonei Daly expects to re
duce the cost of collection, and there
by olfe'-t an important economy In the
water department. He also expects
that water consumers will be glad to
be relieved of the annoyance of pay
ing the small bill each month. The
proposed ordinance, as It will be voted
on, reads: -
An ordinance to provide for the col
lection of water rates and making sue
rates chargeable to the premises where
water is supplied.
Text of Ordinance.
The city of Portland does ordain as
follows:
Ue It ordained by the peopleof tho
city of Portfand:

Injj water within the city of Portland
bIlb.11 be chargeable to the premises

quency In the payment of any charge

barge the commissioner in charge of
the bureau of water works shall dln-
. continue, the service by turning off the
water, and the water shall not again be
provided to nuoh premises until all out
standing obligations for water sun-
plied to such premises shall have been
paid in lull.

PROMOTION OF LANE
IS SOUGHT BY WATER
USERS' ASSOCIATION
Klamath Organization Pays
Tribute to Present Secre
tary of Interior for Aid,
Appreciative of the "unparalleled
benefits accruing to the homemakers
of the west under the administration of
Franklin K. Lane, as secretary of the
Interior," the Klamath Water Users'
association has forwarded to President
Woodrow Wilson a resolution asking !
for the further promotion of Mr. Lane,
should opportune time for such promo
tion appear.
Members of the association, when
the resolution was adopted, had in
mind a place on the United States su- J
preme court bench, as they point out ;
that three of the present members ol
the court are now beyond the age limit,
which entitles them to retirement, and
it is highly probable that there will be
one or more vacancies before the end
of the present administration.
The Klamath association is forward
ing copies of its resolution to other
western organizations, urging them to
adopt similar resolutions and forward
them to the president.
"The requested promotion of Franklin
K. Lane is f tribute due from every
western organization," says the Klam
ath association in its communication to
other associations. '
The resolution, which Is signed by
Abel Ady, president, and Albert E. El
der, secretary, of the Klamath Water
Users' association, is as follows:
We, the water users of the Klamath
project, remembering our despairing
condition through previous administra
tions of mistaken policies In adminis
tering the reclamation act, and grate
ful for the fullness of justice nowAx-
lenoed to us, as a result or the execu
tive promotion of Franklin K. Lane to
the secretary of the Interior, hereby
petition the honorable president of the
United States that Mr. Lane be pro
moted to a position of still greater
service should opportune time for such
promotion appear.
"While we would regret the loss of
so valuable a man from the executive
control of our personal welfare, we
urge his promotion as a just tribute to
the man and as a greater blessing to
the nation.
"Motion made by Abel Ady: second
ed by J. "Frank Adams; passed by
unanimous vote of the Klamath Water
Users' association, In mass meeting as
sembled, on October 10, 1914."
