In view of the fact that some criticism has been made of the present city administration for granting permission to The Amherst Water Works company to raise their rates, I feel tbat a word nf explanation at this time Is proper. When The Amherst Water Works company was organized, a number of public spirited citizens Invested their money and Influenced a number of others, a good portion of whom, were retired people or widows who depended upon the income from thetr savings to support them. Upon the strength' of the statements of these men Investments were made by various people all of whom were our own people. For the first three years of this investment no revenue was derived by the stockholders but since that time up until January 1, 1923 a dividend of ! six per cent was paid. > ln IIH the rate to The Amherst Water Works company was raised by The Elyrla Water Works company and the local company contemplsted raising the rates at that time but they had a small surplus In their treasury and decided that they would try to operate their plant so as to keep their rate the same, but the expenss of ax- leutions and service connections for new paving used up this surplus aad the early part of this year they came See "The Third Alarm" tha.

Two members of the County Board of Education are to be elected at the regular election.

There are many Issues at stake which vitally affect our schools and for this reason we have taken considerable pains to Investigate the candidates and their platforms and have come to the con- OlUSlpn that the best Interests of education will be served by the election Of Mr. Gibson and Mr. Haduwuy. > In making public this statement we I desire to say that we have no personal enmity for any of the candidates but are actuated solely by a desire to run-; der a public service. j Thi" Lorain County Beekeeper's Association held a meeting in Klyria Monday evening, at which time a large number of members were present.

The Council believed that the in vestors In this company were entitled to a six per cent dividend and granted the increase. Rates of this kind are fixed by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. The only reason for the action of the council was to save the expense of going before the Utilities CommisHiou. Some criticism has been made us to the iin.niri.il condition or the Village under the present administration. lu this connection I need only say thst we ure now and have been for the past four years living within our income. The bonded Indebtedness of tbe Village Is the lowest of any municipality of Its size In the County and the rate of tuxation for next year is 1.8988, the lowest of any town in the County with the exception of South Amherst. Oherlin and Avon Lake. This statement is made solely tor the purpose of advising the citizens of Amherst of what actually happened so that there may be no mis-state- meats or misrepresentations concern- promise of the reduction ot this rate lug same und also to show that any or any other rate of a public utility serving Amherst by any person seeking office Is an empty promise msde to secure votes which cannot be carried tut unless the Public Utilltleo Commission of Ohio shall decide that the particular I'uhlic Utility is earning an exorhltent profit.

In view of the fact that some criticism has been made of the present city administration for granting permission to The Amherst Water Works
company to raise their rates, I feel tbat
a word nf explanation at this time Is
proper.
When The Amherst Water Works
company was organized, a number of
public spirited citizens Invested their
money and Influenced a number of
others, a good portion of whom, were
retired people or widows who depended upon the income from thetr savings to support them. Upon the
strength' of the statements of these
men Investments were made by various people all of whom were our own
people.
For the first three years of this
investment no revenue was derived by
the stockholders but since that time
up until January 1, 1923 a dividend of
! six per cent was paid.
> ln IIH the rate to The Amherst
Water Works company was raised by
The Elyrla Water Works company
and the local company contemplsted
raising the rates at that time but they
had a small surplus In their treasury
and decided that they would try to
operate their plant so as to keep their
rate the same, but the expenss of ax-
leutions and service connections for
new paving used up this surplus aad
