WATER RATES INCREASED Alter Careful Investigation the Com mittee Declares it Compulsory. At n tnrctiiifj of the Water com inittoo on I'riduji nil.t it waw de cidetl tlint it was niVHsnry under existing fondilions to raiso the present water rate, UrarinK more or less cotnplnirit n reporter lor the NiiKjret interviewed Mr. Com'r, chainnnti ol thn committee nnd he wan quito wjllinr to discuss the mailer and explain the reason for the increase. He says that Hie town has mithlaiiilin water bonds to the amount ol $20,000 which originally ran for twenty years. Four thou sand dollars of this amount has been liken up, but that a'' the present rate, when bonds all become due and payable, ihe town will have outgrown its present system, and even if it has not, the supply which is growing less every year will ho in.-ideijiiate, owin; t the dealing up of li e land surround inn the present source of our water supply. He further Hays as a mat ter of hu t, the present writer rates are far below that of any other city on the coast, and the slight increase will work ii') hardship on anyone Tho mutter of the raise lias been carefully considered by the water comn.'tlee or some time nnd they have finally concluded that it is not only necessary but compulsory, ,N order to avoid jjreatt r complica tion in the future. Hcfoie the committee arrived at any conclusion a month ai;o they put on a metre at a private house taking water fiom a hall inch pipe, and other metres from that up to u 2-iuch pipe in order to arrive at an average of what was being used, and they found that the average uso for a private family was be tween live and seven thousand pill ions and that at the Iht rate til seventy-live cents per month they were not payer in proportion to larger users, so they adopted a one dollar flat rate per tap for private parties to take olTect November 1. The metre rate has not been def initely settled at present but will probably be increased slightly, of which due notice will be given. Silk Creek Items.
