BOARD OF TRADE ON
THE WATER RATES
COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO IN
TERVIEW W. W. SCRANTON.
Thoy Are to Point Out to tho Gas
nnd Wntor Company That tho
Present Rntos to Largo Consumers
Will Throttle tho City's Growth
nnd That if Only for n Solfleh End,
tho Compnny Should Mnke More
Reasonable Rntos nnd Thoroby
Encourngo City's Dovolopmont.
Whether It was the luncheon an
nounced to bo served nt the conclu
sion of the business session or the
knowledge that water rates were to be
discussed that was responsible did not
develop, but, be that as It may, last
night's meeting of the board of trade
was the most numerously nttended of
the present year, not even excepting
tho memorable paving meeting or tho
night Cnptnln Dibble, with the aid of
his new fangled students' grill, served
a free duck sumier.
It was a most representative gath
ering, too, and fully capable, as events
proved, to ably discuss both of the
leading features of tho evening.
The water rate question was present
ed by Secretary Atherton In a resolu
tion commending tho councils In Its
proposed campaign for a cheapening
of the water service to large consum
ers nnd pledging the co-operation of
the board of trade In furtheilng tho
movement. The resolution read as fol
lows: THE BOARD'S RESOLUTION.
Scrnnton, lJa., Nov. 20, U99.
To the Oillcers and Members of tho
Scranton Hoard of Trade.
Gentlemen: Some two years ago tho
board of trade took up tho question of
excessive water rates to the manufac
turers In this city. At that time statis
tics were compiled showing the rates in
muny of the principal cities of the coun
try. These statistics showed that rates
In Scranton wero far In excess of those
of other cities.
At that tlmo a commltteo of the board
of trade was appointed to wait upon Sir.
Scranton, of the Scranton Gas and
Water company, to, if possible, have the
rates to manufacturers so adjusted, that
tho Industrial growth of our city would
not be retarded as was the case then,
and Is now.
Nothing, however, was accomplished,
and we find ourselves today In practically
a worse condition than wo were at that
time, from the fact that In many of tho
plnces whero a yearly rato was given,
they have Blr.ce put on meters, which has
Increased the rate three-fold.
Tho tlmo has now come when It seems
necessary to take s'trlngcnt measures In
the direction of having these rates "re
duced. The water rates In Scranton aro
almost prohibitive to Its further develop
ment along industrial lines. Instead of
tho water company encouraging the In
dustrial growth of the city, and- thereby
Increasing Its revenue through domestic
consumption, it has erected a barrier,
that If continued, will completely stop
the growth and development of the city.
What Is desired Is a low uniform rato
such as manufacturers In Cleveland. Erie,
Philadelphia and Buffalo enjoy. We do
not object to the meter system, but do
object to the exorbitant rate charged per
thousand gallons.
Understanding that tho city councils
nro about to tnko steps, which they
hope will remedy tho evil above referred
to, It Is believed that the Scranton board
of trade, representing as it docs, tho
Industrial and commercial side of tho
question, should assist tho councils In
every way to bring about tho desired
end; therefore bo It
Resolved, That tho Scranton board of
trado recommends to councils tho pass
age of such legislation, as In their judg
ment wilt bo the means of the adjust
ment of the water rates to large consum
ers In tho city of Scranton; and be It
further
Resolved, That tho Scranton board of
trado pledgor Itself to assist the councils
by every honorablo means nt its com
mand to bring about this most desired
result.
THE DISCUSSION OPENS.
In opening tho discussion on ths
resolution, Secretary Atherton mado
the startling statement that If It was
not that the manufactures committee
had found sites containing Indepen
dent water supplies tho city would
have had to give up all prospects of
having a tin plate plant, and, further,
that a woolen mill which was to em
ploy 1,500 hands wanted to locate here
recently and was nil rendy to come
when the owners learned of the water
rates charged here nnd forthwith
ceased negotiations.
Secretary Atherton Bald he thought
If the matter was presented to tho
gas nnd water company In n proper
light concessions could be secured. If
It was shown to tho company that by
discouraging tho growth of tho city
it Is hurting Its own Interests It would
grant a generous concession, If only
from a Feltish motive.
"Hns the matter ever been present
ed to Sir. Scranton in that light?" In
quired Colonel Boles.
"Yes sir." answered the secretary,
"a commltteo of the board waited up
on him two years ago and argued with
him along that line, as well as from
various other standpoints."
"And what did ho do about It?" in
quired the colonel.
"Handed the commltteo a rate carl."
This abrupt description of the char
acteristic action of tho gas nnd water
company's president wns received with
loud laughter and some hand-cHp-plng
by the half hundred board of
tradesmen, most of whom knew from
personal experience that the agrts.
slve Sir. Scranton says and does thing"
without waste of words or effort and
withal effectively.
THE COSIPARATIVE RATES.
A request was made for the statistics
with which tho committee had armed
Itself before going to consult Sir.
Scranton, nnd Secretary Atherton
quoted from his minutes, among other
things, tho following comparisons of
water rates In large cities;
The different columns show a sliding
scale bated on the amount consumed, the
smallest rate, of course, being for the
largest consumers. Where ono figure In

limited rowrcn or couiitr.
In further pointing out the limited
power of tho courts In this regard, he
states thnt If complnlnts were made
each would have to be treated separ
ately. Tho courts could not reduce
the water rates generally. If (in Indi
vidual feels nggrloved nt his water
rate ho can go Into court, nnd If he
shows that the water company'
charges are exhorbltnnt the com
pany's divided profits being the crltcr- !
Ion the court may, In Its Judgment,
revise his rate. To thun secure a gen
eral revision of rates all over the city
It would bo necessary for every rate
payer one nftcr the other, to go Into
court nnd repent this performance.

compnny's exclusive lights In Scrnnton

because the books of tho company
wcie not offered for public Inspection.
"Possibly some of tho stockholders
here, sententloutly remarked tho
judge, might bo able to enlighten us on
the number nnd nmount of dividend
pnld." This provoked another burst
of laughter.
Concluding In n serious vein, Judgo
Jessup said he did not believe any
court would reduce the wnter rtes
when the books of the company were
Investigated, hnlng In mind the fact
that for years tho company ha been
placing nearly nil Its surplus In Im
provements. Colonel Holes corroborated this with
the stntement that his wlfo held n few
Minres of gas nnd water company stock
nnd It never pnld over 4 per cent.
"Do they ever pay stockholders divi
dends?" Judge Jessup Inquired In sur
prised tones, nt which there wns more
merriment.
COL. BOIES' EXPERIENCE.
Colonel Boles told of nn experience
ho hnd with the water comnnnv when
he was establishing tho wheel works,
lie had an annual rate nt first nnd
wns well satisfied, but after a short
tlmo the company put In a meter nnd
from that tlmo on the wnter nt the
wheel works cost more than the fuel.
Every conceivable system of economy
was practiced, but the meter showed
up the same measurements.
Tho colonel kicked. Ho says that
much himself. What followed the kick
was not revealed In detnll by the col
onel, but that the meeting between
himself nnd the president of the wnter
company was something In the nnturs
of a collision was Intimated by the col
onel later In last night's meeting de
clining to servo on a committee to wait
upon Mr. Scranton. "He dlsqunllfiol
himself." Judge Jessup remarked.
Colonel Boles, however, wns fully Im
pressed with the belief that If a com
mltteo waited upon Sir. Scrnnton nnd
presented tho case as tho board of
trndo viewed It. the visit would not be
a fruitless ono. "I move," he went on
to say. "that a committee of three
from which I shall be religiously ex
cludedbe appointed to confer with
Sir. Scranton relative to tho cheapen
ing of water rates and to Investigate
and report upon tho legal aspects of
the water question."
Ex-Judge Hai'd arose to speak on
the motion. The water rate on his
Commonwealth building wns J1S0 n
year. A meter was recently put In, nnd
calculations based on the showing so
far Indicate that the meter will rnlsa
his water charge to J8R0 per annum.
He nt onco set out tn economize. Some
$500 worth of Improvements were pro
jected about the building to enforce
economy and as each one was com
pleted tho water rate, prospectively,
diminished. But It ivno nu- -,,,..,
Ively, for as the meter showed a de- '
crease In the amount of water con- ,
sumed, tho judge found his building
gradually but surely approaching th
"small consumer" scale, and now he Is
wondering whether It Is cheaper to pay
twenty cents n tnousnnd en 011s fnr
10,000 gallons of water or ten cents a
thousand gallons for 20.000 gallons. The
Judge figures It out that he has spent
$300 to save water for the company.
WILL BORE FOR WATER.
He also Informed the board that Sir.
Stears had sunk an artesian well under
the Slears building and was securing
n plentiful supply for nil except drink
ing purposes. He, himself, contem
plated boring. He had the water ex
amined and discovered that It Is only
slightly tainted with sulphur and per
fectly safe to use In the boilers

be favorably received by Mr. Scran
ton. "I went to him once with a prop
osltlon of that kind." ald tho ludge,
"nnd he turned on me with, 'Are you

Nevertheless. Judg? Hand favored
the appointment of a committee, us

President and Slembcrs, Scranton Board
of Trade.
Gentlemen: Belntlve to tho proposi
tion to establish n tin plate plant In this
city, wo beg to report thnt wo havo given
tho question careful nnd dellherato con
sideration. Wo have been conservative,
and therefore slow In recommending to
tho Investors of tho city of Scrnnton thU
proposition. We nro now, however, rendy
to glvo It our hearty endorsement, feel
ing that In tho event of its being located
here It will bo successful.
We have felt It our duty to not only
look Into tho future of tho tin plate
trade, but to provide for tho proper man
agement of tho crnccrn, and the proba
bility of being ablo to purchase malcrlul
suitable for tho manufacture of tho pro
duct. Wo believe that In this we havo
been successful, ns tho correspondence
In the hands of the secretary will show.
We therefore beg leave to submit the fol
lowing, which wo hopo will meet with
the approval of this board, to wit:
Tho manufacturers commltteo of the
Scranton board of trndo, to whom was

Torbet, to establish a tin plate plant in
this city, beg to report that after n
careful Investigation of tho project ns
outlined by Sir. Torbet nnd Sir. Pnton,
who came nt our Invitation to confer
with us, we believe that tho establish
ment of a tin plate plant, such ns they
propose to erect, would prove n profitable
investment to the stockholders, and n
lasting benefit tn the city tit large.
Wo tnko pleasure, therefore, In recom
mending Sir. Torbet to the Investors of
the city, "nnd bespeak for him n fair
hearing In his canvassing among our pei
ple for subscriptions to the stock of tho
company.
Relative to tho removal of the Dun
moro & White Slanufncturlng compnny
from Blnghnmton to this city, In which
wo took some Interest, we beg to repot t
thnt the deal has been consummated,
thnt the business of Slessrs. Dunmore &
White will hereafter be conducted under
