THE FINANCIAL CONDITION

Thrrxmh no fault of tho mayor, tho
city council or tho water commission
er, but rattier tnrougn 1110 uum in u
too low meter rate, tho financial con
,nnnn nf tho local water plant Is be
coming such that some ronieuini
measure must bo taken. Today there
are outstanding and unpaid warrantB
acnlnst tho water fund aggregating
about ?13,000, and tnose warrants aro
drawing soven per cent interest. Tho
unfortunate feature is mat mis nonou
is increasing monthly, nut only are me
vii'f.nLs avoraclng less than tho ex
penses, but It Is further Increased by
tliii interest on tho unpaid warrants
which now amounts to seventy-live
iinllnrs nor month.
Tho council Is loth to Increase tho
meter rate because such action will
mnvn a most unnomilnr one, but wo
arc face to faco with a condition that
