DEADLOCK ENDS HOPE OF WATER RATE REVISION Charges of 1902 Will Remain Force, Despite Effort to Increase Them Merchants and Bankers Plead With Supervisors for Fire Protection Members of Board Suddenly Change Front and Vote Against Own Report A deadlock in the board of visors has rendered impossible tha passage of an' ordinance regulating the rates to be collected by the Sprina Valley company during the coming fiscal year and consumers will ba charged under the 1902 schedule, which is still in force. The rates fixed by the supervisors, in 1903 proved unsatisfactory to Spring Valley and suit was begun to prevent their enforcement. This suit is still pending in the United States circuit court and ever slnco it was filed the company has been collecting under the 1902 schedule. failure of the. supervisors yesterday to agree on a new rate bill that there will bo water legislation this year and the company, will continue to collect the present tolls.

The termination of the water inquiry in a deadlock came as a great surprise. Eight members of the board had committed themselves to a report recommending the re-enactment of 1902 schedule with an additional al- Jowance of $176,000 for water us e.d by the municipality and it was generally believed that the recommendation would' approved. But the surprisa occasioned by the rejection of tha rs- port was nothing compared with that which came when Broderlck, Payot, Comte. Johnston and Jennings, who had signed its report, voted on. ona roll call to give the company a 12 1-2 per cent Increase over the 1902 rates.

It was represented that "unless the water supply. of the city were increased Insurance rates! would.be raised, the credit of the city impaired and business Injured. viewed the situation with alarm, realiz-) ing, as they that there was a lack! of proper fire protection. Tlie fear was expressed by one of speakers that unless Spring Valley were granted sufficient revenue to extend and improve its plant not a few of. the tosurance' companies would withdraw from this field.

ASK INCREASED HATES Supervisor McAllister presented a munlcation signed by most of the banks of the city protesting against tha adoption of the 1902 schedule and recommending that the water company ba given a 15 per cent increase over the' present rates, $200,000 for depreciation and new construction and a monthly; rate of $5 for. each hydrant.
