A Barefaced and Arbitrary Schedule Forced Through by the Majority---Termed an Ouirage and a Farce. OAKLAND, Feb. 21.—The most bare- faced outrage ever perpetrated on the people of Oakland by a majority of the | City Council was carried out to-night, and it is now known why A. Fibusch resigned last week and why a person named E. W. Woodward was appoint- ed as his successor. After five minutes’ consideration by a committee of three named by the wa- ter companies, through Councilman Henneberry, the water rate of this city was fixed by a resolution that will pro- vide an income of 12 per cent or over on the cost of both the water compa- nies. The only bright spot in the infa- mous transaction is that City Attorney Dow declared before the vote was taken that it would be clearly illegal, as it would be a water rate fixed absolutely without investigation, and would be arbitrary. The plan was all carefully thought out and planned, and the al- lied corporations which, it is now fully on hand to see that the Councilmen, whose votes they could depend upon, did not fall down. Councilman Henneberry started the job by introducing a resolution fixing water rates at figures his ignorance of which showed clearly he had not compiled himself. He said that he was satisfied that the water rates as fixed by the ordinance now in print did not allow sufficient income and was unjust. He then handed the clerk a resolution which was a complete schedule, and contained enough matter to occupy several nights of consideration. The members of the Council who had not been informed of what was to take place were surprised. They were at a loss for even a remark, as there is a very carefully prepared ordinance now in print that will come up for final pas- sage next Wednesday night. 5 Mr. Hennebery proceeded and said that the matter was urgent, and moved that a committee of three be appointed to look over the ordinance and report back at once to the Council. Mr. Hen- nebery, contrary even to precedent, which leaves the naming of special committees to the chair was provided with the na of the committee whom he would like appointed. It consists of Upton, Watkinson, and to the surprise of all, Woodward, who to-night attend- ed his very first meeting of the Coun- cil, and knew nothing whatever about the water rates. This made no difference, however, and a few minutes later the following report was presented: Your special committee on the resolution - fixing water rates hereby favorably reports on same. W. WATK.NSON, E. W. WOODWARD. I emphatically dissent. M. W. UPTON. The affair was so barefaced and far- cical that the five Councilmen who re- spected their positions were forced to laugh. When the report was read President Pringle said: “Gentlemen of the Coun- cil, this thing is at once a farce and an outrage. It is illegal, because no in- vestigationhas been taken on this schedule, and no one knows what is in it. The proper thing to do is to refer it to its proper committee.” This brought Heitman to his feet. The matter had been so carefully planned that Heitman was prepared to prove that the resolution had been brought before the house by the appointment of the special com- mittee, and must therefore take its course. President Pringle ruled against Heitman, who appealed from the chair, and then came the sensation of the discovered “he had made a mistake” and voted against the chair. President Pringle then denounced the outrage from the chair and used very strong language. Councilman Rowe also made a speech, which every per- son who pays water rates will read with interest. He said: » Gentlemen, I am dumfounded. I. cap- not express myself. 1 know perfectly well that nothing that I can say will influence any vote in this Council because it is all cut and dried, and I can clearly see that this infamy has been carefully planned. I cannot understand how gentlemen elect- ed by the people can come here and act like this. Here is a schedule whose con- tents no one knows. It comes from the allied water companies, and yet at a mo- ment's notice it can secure a bare ma- jority of the vote of this Council. I am at a loss to say what I think. I cannot believe you are sane. There is an ordi- nance in print which will come before you next Wednesday which has been carefully considered. We took testimony for weeks and allowed rates that we proved by the company's own flgures would allow them 6 per cent on their plant and allow a margin of $38,000. ‘ The resolution introduced. here to-night is an insult to this Council. No one knows, or can know, what is in it unless they have studied it before hand, and I am sure from what little I have heard of it, that it will give the companies not less than 12 per cent upon the only plant that can supply the whole city. Here is a resolution prepared by men who do not know what their plant is worth, and yet we allowed them a good interest on their property and they are not satisfied. Mr. Dingee came before us, and when we asked for flgures as to the value of his plant he could not produce any. Al- though we gave him a week, and al- though he only started in the water busi- ness three years ago yet not a voucher could be found or a book produced, all destroyed. The only information we could get as to the value of his plant was that the old Pledmont Company was sold to the Oakland company for $3,000,000 of stock, $1,000,000 and he would hot take an oath that he spent $200,000 on his original property. The same is true in principle of the other company. Yet these companies can come here and find six votes to pass a schedule of thelr own making. I cannot understand it and denounce it as the vil- est outrage of which I have ever heard. Councilman Brosnahan, who has al- ways opposed the company’s demands hitherto, and who was so frightened three weeks ago that the companies would in some way juggle with the ordinance so as to defeat it and intro- duced a precautionary resolution, thought differently to-night. “I have been jollied on the street,” he said, “and told that I am being car- ried along by the rest of the majority till T am tired of it. I know that for several years I have voted for water rates that were too low, and to-night I am going to make a change.” And Councilman Brosnahan changed. The vote stood: For the water companies—Wood- ward, Brosnahan, Henneberry, Earl, Heitman and Watkinson. For the people—Cuvellier, Girard, Upton, Rowe and Pringle. As soon as the vote was announced Girard was on his feet and said: “Now our eyes are opened. When he was appointed last week the new mem- ber (E. W. Woodward) stated in the public print that he was for the peonle. and had no strings on him. We now see what people he meant. We can now see why Mr. Woodward was ap- pointed.” The blunt speech of Mr. Girard seemed to pain Woodward, for he pleaded with the clan to stop “personal remarks,” but there was no necessity for his doing so, for Mr. Girard said: “I've finished; I've told all.” ‘When the meeting was over City At- torney Dow said the proceeding was clearly illegal, that he had advised the Council before they voted of its illegal- ity, and if the case were taken to the courts he would not attempt to defend the outrage. After the vote Woodward was asked if he wished to defend his vote. “I don’t want to say anything,” was his only reply.
