Stilt In creases In the present flat rates to San Francisco water users are asked In a supplementa'P application flleri-by'' the Spring Valley Water Company with the State Railroad Commission totay. These rates are to apply to every meter service. Including all residential, commercial private, fire, suburban, municipal and county, shipping and temporary services for building contracts. The new rates filed are as follows: Meter rates for each meter a month, five-eights Inch, 75 cents; three-quarter, Inch, one dollar; one Inch, one and a nan dollars; one and a half Inch, two-Inch, three-Inch. four-Inch, six-Inch.

eight-Inch, $40. A flat rate In addition to met" rates a month for the first 3J00 cubic feet, 2 cents a hundred: from 3300 to 33.300, 20 cents a hundred; all over 33,300 cubic feet, cents. Today's application recites the follow ing facts: The company now has in storage Its reservoirs a supply of water suf ficient to last at the present consumption rate but 330 days. On December 1, next there will enough to last but 220 days. The last two years' rainfall has been very low, that of 1916-17 being but 41 per cent of normal, and the reserve supply of the company has been substantially depleted.

Even if the rainfall for 191S-1919 Is normal, there Is a serious question whether San Francisco can be supplied at the present rate of ron sumption. If the rainfall is below normal there will probably be an actual shortage. The sources of supi ly of the company are ample, but It Is impossible to make them available within less than thre to five years. There are no other spurces of supply available sooner than those of the Spring Valley company. The only practicable method of stay ing a shortage In San Francisco is to conserve the present supp'y.

There are everal million gallow waste of water In the city every day. This waste will be reduced by the Introduction of meter rates. Because of existing war oonui-tlons, new Industries are being established here engaged In government work, and they must be assured of a sufficient supply of water. Waste under the present flat rate must be discouraged and at once." The company finally says that any excess amount collected under the pro posed rate over the present one may be Imnounded to the order of the Railroad Commission pending a decision In the present rate case wnicn win oe rnumea before the commission today.
