The water com- pany, which is owned by William J. Dingee, has announced that it has de- cided to establish a certain schedule of rates independent of what the Trustees may think or do. These rates will be materfally ‘in advance of those now in effect both to public and private con- sumers. In answer to the threat that the Board of Trustees may fix a sched- ule of rates not to the liking of the San Mateo Water Company the resident representative of Mr. Dingee replies that the water to the town may be shut off and the city left without pro- tection against fire. The San Mateo Water Company, through its superintendent, W. C. Losh, has presented a summary of its de- mands to- the Board of Trustees. In outline these demands call for an in- crease of water rates from 26 2-3 cents a thousand gallons to 30 cents a theu- sand gallons. The higher figure was formerly in opeéfation and gave much dissatisfaction. Not only this, the com- pany announces that the meter system will be introduced without delay throughout the city. Not more than one-fourth of the resident water con- sumers now have meters, the others paying a flat rate, whieh will be abol- ished. The San Mateo Water Company in- sists also that the rate on the fAfty-five hydrants now in use must be increased from 25 cents to $1 each a month. In this cennection the company agrees to buy the hydrants, paying $1150 for them, but whether the city or the com- pandy owns them the same rate must be pald, While the company makes these de- mands it promises to make certain im- provements and betterments in iss plant. New wells will be bored and a new pumping plant installed. The threat that water will be shut off if the company’s demands are not acceded to is not taken seriously here, although it has aroused a great deal of discus- sion. Any action of the water company looking to the injury of the town would be stopped at once by injunction. ———————————— DENIED A LICENSE TO OPEN SALOON IN TOWN OF MAYFIELD MAYFIELD, March 8.—At last the people of Mayfleld are relieved of worry.

REDWOOD CITY, March $—An am= bitious plan is on foot here and in other San Mateo and Santa Clara Count” towns to unite all the distinetively pe- ninsular communities in a single central organization that ‘will lahor for the common good of all. In San Mateo County there is at present no such in- stitution and its need has long been felt here. Communities act independ- ently of one another and much that would be to the advantage of all is los In Santa Clara County the Coast Coun- ties Improvement Association strives to accomplish a general benefit, but com- plaint is made that it seriously neglects the northern part of the county. It is proposed therefore to withdraw Palo Alto from the Coast Countles Im- provement Association and to unite it to a soclety yet to be organized. As outlined this organization will inelude every community of importance oa the peninusla, and will embrace Burlin- game, San Mateo, Belmoat, Redwood City, Menlo Park. Palo Alto, Mayfield, Mouptain View and Sunnyvale, with smaller communities intervening be- tween these larger towns, Such an organization is already be- ing generally discussed here and sug- gests itself as a logical arrangement for the union of the peninsular towns. The objects of the association would be primarily to obtain better transporta- tion facilities, steam and electric, and to induce people of San Francisco to take up their residence in the district. It i3 expected that the first move to- ward the organization of the new asso- clation will be made by the Board of Trade of Palo Alto. ——— e EDITOR OF STANFORD QUAD PICKS SIXTEEN ASSISTANTS STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 8.— Earl J.
