RAISE RAIL ON MOlORS
City of Norwalkta Board Also Paaaaa
Resolution Regarding Sprinkling
o'i' Lawns.
The Sellth Norwalk water commis-
sioners are seriously considering the
matter of increasing the rate to be
charged for water for motor purposes.
The charge is now live cents per
.1300 gallons and the commissioners
are considering the matter of increas—
Ing the charge to ten cents, the figure
to which the Norwslk water commis-
sioners raised their rates last Week.
The Norwalk rate was formerly five
cents for the quantity mentioned.
The Norwalk commissioners consid~
cred the Increase in the charge very
seriously for some. time and finally
came to the conclusion that they could
not afford to furnish water at the pro—
valling rates and came to the, conclu-
sion that it was being supplied at less
than actual cost.
They have investigated the charges
for water power made by other cities
and found that the local rate is far
below the average of other places.
In normI places there Is a maximum
and minimum charge. the little fellow
paying more than the consumer of a
large amount. Municipal plants charge
much less than corporations for the
water.
Some time ago the Stamford Advo-
cate published a list of charges In a
large number of places. For instance
it was found that New Haven's maxi-
mum rato per 1,000 gallons is eighteen
cents. Wilmington. Delaware twenty
cents; Nashua. New Hampshire. twen.
ty cents: Brsttleboro. Vt.. twenty-five
cents; Bristol and Torrington. thirty
cents; Stamford. Conn, thirty cents.
Mimimum corporation rates were
found to range from follr to twenty
cents.
The charges In some cities are lower.
however in a number of other places
than the local rate For instance Buf-
falo charges two cents. Other places
have rates from this amount up.
The Norwalk commissioners say that
their object is not to take advantage
of the people. but to get cost for the
water. If the motors increase at their
present rate it is believed by the com-
missioners that another reservoir will
in a very short time be needed to sup-
ply the required amount.
At a meeting last week the Norwalk
commissioners passed the following re-
solution which has aroused considera-
blc discussion:
Voted: that on and after November
1 1903.41" water motors used for pow.
or shall he charged for by' meter mom
surement at the. minimum rate of ten
cents per thousand gallons registered
and no rule will be made for a loan
amount than $10 per annum. Motors
will opt he allowed, where meters can.
not be attached. The secretary will
at once notify all consumers of water
by motors. of this rule.
The Norwalk commissioners have
also decided that hereafter they will
allow lawn sprinkling only between
the hours of 7 and 9 a. m., and ii to 8
p: to. All water used for the purpose
outside of these hours will be charged
for at double. ratcs.

CLIMBED UP IVY ON CHURCH.
Ahead of Daring in CannectIOn With
Ringing of Trinity Church Boll.
l-Trlnlty Church bell pcaled forth
merrily Saturday just after it became
morning and everybody is wondering
how it happened. A policeman and
the sexton had been detailed to watch
the church and they did it thoroughly
and carefully. but there was one place
they did not watch and which no one
would ever dream of watching. That
was the Ivy which covers the edifice.
Whoever rang the bell must have climb-
ed up the ivy vines right on the front
of the church. It rang only for a short
time because the policeman and sexton
went up late the belfry. It was de-
serted and they were unable to get
even a glimpse othedarlng persons
who had turned the trick. The Ivy
was not damaged by the ascent of the
person or persons, and It would not
have been known how the trick was
done unless they noticed carefully that
one or two of the dark green leaves
on the left side of the doorway were
turned in against the stone. It dem-
onstrated that where there's a will.
there's a way.
