e NEW WATER RATES UP FOR DISPOSAL Hatch Tells Finance Board of Need for More Revenue Chairman W. L. Hatch and mem- | bers of the water board explained the proposed service charge and increas- «d water rates which they proposed to make effective next year when they | appeared before the board of finance antd taxation last night to submlt their budget, Their estimates of expenses run to $i90,950 and they want an additional $100,000 to improve the distribution service, Their income, figured on the old water rates and without service charge is §176,000, < A slight increase in rates is urged. "he come in the meter or service charge. Mr. Hatch told the board that meters cost $5.83 per year for care and read- ing, while about 12,000 users pay | only the $5 minimum. The city ac- tually loses money in these instances. If a. $6 meter charge was made effec- tive, these users, who now take about 90 YEAR SENTENCE greater part of the increase will | GOESBAGH TO SERVE 10 Year 00d Man, Paroled, 1o Return to Italy Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 8,—Old | John Bennedetto, who served the last | 15 of his 70 years in -Marquette peni- sume service of his sentence of 99/ | years. OId John was paroled on con- | dition that he return to Italy. 1In-| | stead, as he explained in broken En"- !lish, he came to Boston and found a | job when he learned his son had NOIJ {the old Tome and had come to Bos- | [ton.

Explaining that the electrical power and telephone companies make serv- ice charges, Commissioner F. A. Sr\nrh- said he felt the water board's proposa. was an equitable one placing lhe charges where they belong. Mr. Hall wanted to know why fac- | tories are allowed so many meters, the | aggregate of three local concerns be- ing 90 meters. Water Commissioner Peiton said meters were installed un- der the old system whenever were meter charge will do much to curb this practice. In many instances the city runs a main through the factory yard and has a hydrant for five serv- fee, Water used in fighting fires is not metered. The plant takes its| service off this mair and at every | point where service is taken it is e iry to place a meter, Fifance Commissioner Kehoe felt that the water department should be allowed to charge other departments tor service in the same way that oth- or departments charge the wa hoard, He called attention to the as tion of a former mayor in dmv«lnl water funds to buy a storchouse for | the public works board. Because of | the free water, there is not a single city department that gives an honest report of its conditions, he charged. Chairman W, l Mangan and Su- | perintendent W, Cowlishaw pre- sented the uhnrlly board's estima calling for $83,036, which is $2,060 less than this year, a saving bhaving been effected in the “outside poor” ftem which leads the board to believe | that so large an amount will not be needed In that fund next year. The department saved $7,000 this yoar and will turn it back to the general fund. | pays sald, they flargest and probably the oldest asked for, but he felt that the | | been formed along one edge of ‘PHOTOGRAPH REVEALS COPPERHEAD'S VALUE Nugget 42 Inches High and Wide In Possession of Univer- €ity of Michigan Ann Arbor, Mich,, ¥eh. 8-—~The cop- perhead” in the world, recently dis- covered by a Houghton county farm- er, is now in possession of the Univer- sity of Michigan.
