CLAIMS WATER EA1ES TOO HIGH Contract of 1898 Having Expired the City Puts Up the Price. The Tri-City Electric Sprinkler com pany is not doing business in Rock Isl and at present, and the streets are dry and dusty. Tuesday the city authori ties notified the compiny that its em ployes would be arrested if found tak ing water from the mains, and the po lice were given orders to keep a strict watch. Though a sprinkler has been on the streets since the notice was riven, no water nas been used, lne i r cause of the trouble is the refusal of the company to pay the water rates charged by the city. E. II. Guyer.secretary of the Tri-City Electric Sprinkler company, when seen by an Akgcs reporter this morning, stated that the rate demanded makes further operations on the part of the company a losing business, tie said that the contract with the city under which water had been furnished for several years, baa expired, but no change in rates had been made and it therefore held by mutual consent This being the case, he considered the action 01 the city unfair in arbitrarily changing tne rates in the middle of the season. City Clerk SchaUer when seen said that the contract expired in 189S. and though the old rates had been allowed to remain in force, the city hal done nothing to forfeit its right to demand la change when it saw lit. Old and New Hates. Further. Mr. ScbafTer stated that the old rate, of $300 a year, was cnangea eariy in tne season, ana a new one of $600 has been in effect all tunimer. one of four payments of $125 having been made by the sprink ler company in June. Another should have been made before July 10, and as it was not, and the company de clared it would not pav the rate, the water supply was refused Tuesday. CAPITAL STOCK DOUBLED.
