L. Hatch, chalrman of the water board, who wsuggested the service charge principle recently, is desirous that every angle in connection with it is thoroughly ungarstood. His plan, he says, is to work out an equitable service charge, would apply | to large as well as small consumers, an will he #O which Mr. Hatch states to the Herald that | ‘detalls of the plan contemplate a sérvice charge of $3 a year from the | ordinary householder, although some would pay only $1 or $2 a year, de- pending upen the meter arrange- ments. The $3 a year service charge 80 householders would be the stand- ard, In regard to the large consumers, Mr. Hatch declares, the service charge distribution would be according to the earrying capacity of the meters. Most manufacturing plants, he declared, ' would have to pay from $120 to $200 per meter, the majority of them being | in the latter class, The large fac- | tories, however, have many meters, so that virtually all of these would pay $1,000 annually or more as a service | charge, according to Mr. Hatch. The water department, the chair- man says, needs 20 per cent a year more income and an equitable service charge is regarded as the proper way to obtain the increase, according to the chairman, clude plant.

Butler, director of public eafety of Philadel- phia, will remain at the head of the Philadelphia police force after the end of this year, is a matter to be arranged by Mayor Kendrick with President Coolidge, Butler said to- day. He declined to discuss a report from Washington that he had made inquirles of Major Genéral John A. LeJeune as to where he would be assigned if he returned to active duty in the marine corps on January 5, next. General Butler is on a one- year leave of absence, “Irrespective of whether I remain here or not,” General Butler said, “I shall keep right on doing what I consider my duty towards the citl- zens of Philadelphia and expect to complete all the changes and re- forms contemplated in the depart- ment by the end of 1924.” Berlin Yard .
