Those Who Did Attend, However, Left No Question In the Mind of the Listener That They Consider the Meter Rates All That They Should Not Be Mr. Scranton Con trlbutcd a Letter, in Which He Had Something to Say About the Board of Trade. If one was to Judge the sentiment of the community on tho question of water rates by the size of the "mass meet ing" held last night In the council chamber, he would be led to tho con clusion that there was no general com plaint in this connection. By actual count there were present Just eighteen citizens, not counting Messrs. Chittenden, Hoche, Melvln and Schneider, of the light and water com mittee, on whose Invitation tho meet ing was held. These eighteen were II. H. Paine, Insurance agent: O. B. Wright, pension agent; Marshall Kel ler, harness dealer; J. J. Brown, cigar dealer; P. J. Vetter, druggist; Dr. P. P. Strupplcr, dentist; John J. Harte, clerk; Joseph Nolan, laundryman; P. E. Pratt, civil engineer; "W. S. Dichl, lawyer; C. W. McKinney, agent; M. P. Flynn. "VV. II. Whyte, John Majernlk, John Burke and C. It. Kinsley, C. W. Fulton and Stephen Spruks, the spe cial committee of the board of trade delegated to represent that body nt tho meeting. Tho small manufacturer who most complains against exorbitant water rates was conspicuous by his ab sence. The water companies were not represented, but President Scranton, of the Scranton Gas and Water company, sent a letter. Those who did attend were far from being satisfied with the present meter rates. PURPOSE OF MEETING. When Chairman Chittenden an nounced that tho purpose of the meet ing was to gain enlightenment for the committee, that it might deal tho more Intelligently with the Melvln or dinance, by which the city contem plates fixing tho rates to be charged by the water company, there was forthcoming a flood of enlightenment along certain lines that was certnlnly creditable in the matter of volume to such a limited gathering. The certain lino In question was the alleged exorbitant charges under tho meter system. Mr. Paino argued that the 20 cent rate to small consumers Is practically prohibitive. The rate for a party using lO.OOu gallons or less a day should be brought down to 12 cents, lie thought. This thing of whole saling water Is inconsistent, he said. It costs no more to make water run down hill through a small pipe than through a large pipe. At all events, he said, big users can and do make private contracts. Mr. Keller expressed tho opinion that the meter rates are too high and that the rates In the Melvln ordinance are very fair. Mr. Kinsley, as chairman of the board of trade committee, presented a lot of figures culled from reports made to the board of trade through Its com mittees. The Scranton Bedding com pany's case was cited as an example of the high rate to small manufactur ers. This company, In a letter to the board of trade, stated that Its yearly contract rate was $6.75 a month, but that nfter tho meter was put In the company paid for water $21.39 in Oo tober, while Its coal bill for the same month was J21.S5. Tho Lackawanna laundry case was also cited. The laundry had a yearly rate of $194. A meter was put In and at the 10-cent rate Its first month's water bill was $68.74. Tho estimated water cost for the year would be $900 Mr. Kinsley also told of how certain parties who use less than 50,000 gallons a day Intentionally -waste enough t make tho meter register mote than 50,000 gallons, so that they will come under the 15-cent rate. In other words, by using 51,000 gallons n day they will be called upon to pay $25 less than I they used 4S.00O gallons. In closing Mr. Kinsley said that It was the sentiment of tho bonrd of trade that the discrepancy between tho mini mum and maximum meter rates Is palpably an Injustice to the small con sumer nnd that the maximum rate must be lowered. MR. WHYTE'S LETTER. Mr. Whyte presented as embodying his complaint, a letter which ho sent to Mr. Scranton last June. It was a very interesting document. On a busi ness of less than $15,000 a year Mr. Whyte was called upon to pay, as he put it, n water tax equal to 15 per cent, of his gross receipts. It averaged about $30 a month or about a dollar a head for every guest nt his hotel. "This is not a tax, but a confisca tion," Mr. Whyte went on to say in his letter, "and If It was general there would bo a revolution." Mr. Whyte supplemented his letter with an argument that a hotel Is noth ing more or less than an abiding place of a large family and for this and tho further reabon that many of Its bene fits are used gratis by the general pub lic, which pays water tax on other properties, it should bo given tho bene fit of the domestic rate. He then told that, last week, ho In spected a fifty-family apartment house In New York city and though It wiih 150x2.')0 feet and ten stories high, with hot and cold wuter In every apart ment, the monthly water rate was only $40, just about $10 more than he paid for his small hotel with its average of twenty-live guests. In answer to a question by Mr. Roche, ho expressed the opinion that nn eight cent rate was high enough for a hotel such as his. His yearly rate formerly was $100. Tho meter rate now is $30 u month. , M. P. Flynn, proprietor of tho Lacka wanna Valley house, nextwo his ex perience with the meter. His yearly rate wns $240. Tho Introduction of a meter brings him water bills of $35 n month. The first month tho meter was working his bill was $40. When he had recovered consciousness he went to see Mr. Soanton. MR. SCRANTON'S ADVICE. Mr, Scranton advised him to tighten up his plumbing and prevent waste. Mr.,Flynn religiously followed this ad vice nnd economized In every possible way in the. use of water. Tho next month his bill was higher than bcfoie. The last bill he received was $35. Mr. Flynn believed that every consumer should be charged tho sama rate. Thero is no reason, that he could see, why one raun should pay more than another for a thousand gallons of water. Continued on Pace 6.J CONTROLLER WANTS TOO MUCH School Board Committee and Mr. Howell Disagree on Terms. President 11. T. Jayne nnd the finance commllteo of tho board of school con trol met yesterday nftornoon to dis cuss tho question of engaging City Controller Howell to audit tho school accounts. Deputy Controller C. A. Hartley and City Solicitor A. A. Vos burg were present. The committee expressed Itself ns favoring tho Idea of hnvlng the con troller net ns school board auditor, but they did not like tho terms on which the controller offers to do the work. Ho nsks n percentage allowance that will nmount In a year to about $1,500. The committee Is not disposed to pay over $75 a month. Nothing definite was done at the meeting, but it Is likely some conclu sion will bo reached at tho next meet ing, which Is to take place Friday night of this week. In case the board and the controller fall to come to terms, It Is the purpose of tho board committee to recommend to tho boartl that the board's own au diting committee supervise tho ac counts for tho remainder of tho year, at least, and, if the supreme court af firms Judge Archbald's opinion, steps can be taken to adopt this or some other expedient ns a permanent idea.

It Is expected that a number of the schools at present closed will be opened either today or tomorrow, as they have now all been thoroughly fumigated and disinfected. There have been reported to tho board of health for the past three days thirty-two cases of contagious dis eases, or an average of eleven cases a day.
