The water rates are to be reduced alter the first of January to the ex- tent of striking off the bath rate of one dollar a year on all dwellings | that pay rates according to ussess- | ment. This will mean wiping out a | revenue of $3,200, but under the re- {vised assessment the water dapart- { ment will receive next year an addi- | tional revenue of $1,500, so that the net reduction will be only $1,700, | Last year the water department had ia surplus over operatinzy expenses ot | $15,000, and allowing fc: q lessor | surplus this year and pext, it will | still have a tidy surplus for any em- ergency that might arise. The Utilities Commission went into {the water rate question on Monday afternoon and was agreed that the bath rate should be struck off. Some || | other small rates, like those charged | for the keep of a horse and a cow, | will also disappear, as they are too small to bother with. Mr. Hewitt {moved to strike off the ba'h rate. [© "The report of the fire chief with re- [gard to the necessity of securing | more water pressure was discussed, {but at present little can be done beyond endeavoring to always keep the water tower full, Mr. Hewitt |stated that he had suggested to the | chief that a one-inch nozzle, instead |of one and a quarter inch, be used jon the fire hose, as this wouid give | greater pressure, but the chief would | cumstances was of no avail and he | [not consent to use the one-inch noz- | CUMS i | zle, The general manager reported that a landlord had served the water de- partment with a notice that he his tenants, landlord that no notice could be paid to his disclaimer as the statutes pro- vided that the property was {able for | the non-payment by tenants of pub- lic utilities rates.

Lipman, who asked [ tor damages caused by his auto run- ning against a hydrant on Princess street, opposite the restaurant ot Peter Lee. It was pointed out that the hydrant was permitted to be in its present position and also that motor cars are not allowed to come within a certain distance of a hy- drant, Manager Folger drew the attention of the commission to the danger run by the power plant should the old incinerator stack topple over while in process of being taken down, If the stack broke in two, it might fal! on the hydro cable and put the power system out of operation for a time. He understood that the contractors refused to become liable for any dam- age that might ensue. The manager will take up the question with the city engineer and the city solicitor. Mayor Nickle suggested that the con- tractors add to their contract pries an amount to cover accident insur- ance. Until the matter is settled, the erection of the new stack will ba delayed, Instructions were given the man- ager to proceed with the work of placing underground the power lines on Ontario street from Brock to Wil- liam. staff. i THE [CHARLES WARREN DIES FROM GUNSHOT WOUND Accident at Rideau Lake to | Newboro Young Man While Newboro, jal Duck Shooting Nov. 14.--The gecid discharge of his gun while | duck hunting ox Friday mdbraing last resulted in the death 'he same even- ing at 9 o'clock of Charles Warren, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs, William Warren.

Consequently it is difficult to reach either Riga or Reval, the two gateways to soviet Russia, without encountering the crawling cordon. ---------- Chosen Rhodes Scholar.
