Water rates from other cities in the middle west show that packing houses are paying from 3 to 7 cents a thousand gallons for water, the latter rate being at Chicago. Kansas City pays 4 cents. St. Joseph, 4 cents; Milwaukee, i cents; Chicago, T cents, while at Sioux City the packers maintain their own system at a cost of about S cents a thousand gallons. Wynkoop Klerstead, Kansas City; Prof. O. P. Stout, University of Nebraska, and M. L. Holman, St. Louis, the three con sulting engineers hired by the local water board, say it Is Justifiable to raise the present rate for water at the South Omaha packing houses from 4H to 8 cents, and the packers are protesting against this Increase. They aver that 5 cents at the most Is all the service is worth to 'hem. . At Sioux City the packers maintain their own system, pumping the water from wells near, the Missouri river at an approximate cost of I cents a thousand gallons. R. C. Howe, representing t4i Armour plant, believes the South Omaha packers can build a plant and pump their own water on a similar plan for 4 cents rather than submit to the proposed raise to S cents. An Individual System. The stock yards and packing ' houses consume an average of 7,000,000 gallons of water dally, which is nearly one-third of the amount pumped by the MInne-Lusa station at Florence. At present the pack ers have to equip their plants ' at' their own expense with adequate pumping service, as the pressure Is too low to permit carrying the water to the killing rooms and above the ground floors - in the packing houses. . Representatives of the South Omaha in terests as well as the Water board agree that some sort of a sliding scale should be arranged and the matter settled with out resort to the courts. A meeting for the purpose of further considering the case will be held the latter part of this or early next week. CHARGE BUSINESS MEN WITH RUNNING LOTTERY MONTEZUMA, la., Sept. 2.
