Even if it is all right to lay all these new mains, it is all wrong to charge the cost on your water bill.” The Increase in rates is not neces- sary to avert a deficlency, Mr. Phil- lips contended. He quoled figures showing that in 1525 the mnet profit on operations totaled $304,690.18. “In- stead of a deficit,” he said, “there is an annual profit. Why, then, put the burden of this increase in water rates on the District householder? The only answer is that this profit on the sale of water is not large enouzh to pay for all of the new mains they want to bufld. Water mains should be paid for by sufficlent assessments, and, where that is not possible, any deficit should he paid from the general prop- v otax. Instead of this just and equitable method, it is proposed now to raise the price of water that there will be 181,000,000 a vear net profit on opera- tions to be used in laying new water maine." 17 IN ALCOHOL “RING” | PLACED BEHIND BARS Seven Sentenced to Atlanta, Ten to Ohio County Jails and 3 Six Others Fined.
