while it was a very strong team and
won nearly all its games, Mannger

FInt Rate vs. Metro Rate
It beats tho Dutch how people be
como obsessed of certain views nnd
how tenaciously thoy cling to them
until something occurs that produces
ovidenco to tho contrary so conclusive
that thoy aro Anally forced to admit
thoy wero wrong. Take for instance,
when tho.clty proposed placing meters
nnd selling water by measurement
tho ohly equitable way of handing it
moro thnn hnlf the people rose up as
ono man and declared that to pay the
metro rato would bankrupt every
property owner or nearly every one.
Now what nro tho facts? Under tho
lint rate Tho Tribune man paid $18.80
a year for water at tho houso and $16
for wntor nt Tho Tribune office, or a
total of $31.80. Last year under tho
metro system his water bill at the
houso was $12.88 and at tho office $2.80,
a total of $15.C8, or n saving of $19.12,
theso figures Including tho cash dis
counts. And this was dono without
stinting wntor on tho lnwn"or garden;
in fact no effort was mndo to savo
wator. What is trim in this individual
caso, Is practically true all over town.
In this connection tho query arises,
can tho city operate tho plant at tho
present meter rates and keep from go
ing In "tho hole?" That's a question
that has not yet been fully demon
strated; it will require another year
to, definitely ascortaln Just whero wo
"aro at'f on tho water plant proposition.
