Attitude To Ward Xe'l or More Money by WaU-r Couiiiiliiofi. Pendleton, Ore., July 21. Editor East Oregonlan: The impression that I favor raising water rates to consumers is entirely wrong. Xo member of the commis sion wishes to do that. This is the People's plant. They will have to charge themselves rates enough to meet all expenses. My letter some time ago was intended to inform the people that there are not enough funds on hand to pay for the plant. We lack J34.000, according to latest estimates. If this is provided through a bond sale there is no reason why rates, should be raised. Our present income is enough to pay interest and operating expenses and provide a sinking fund. I am opposed to a raise of rates to consumers. If for any reason we should have to in crease our -Income I would favor a higher charge for water used for pub lic purposes, such as street flushing and at the public schools and for parks.
