Filipinos seek independence and peace, Lopez says
Senor Sixto Lopez former confidential secretary to General Aguinaldo arrived in the city with Thomas Patterson. He told Post reporters his visit is to tell Americans the true story of the Philippines, pursue non partisan audiences, publish a forthcoming book likely titled Independence, and show Filipinos are ready for self rule with possible concessions to the United States to preserve liberty. He noted peace efforts, past self governance from 1898 to 1899 brought prosperity, and suggested a US policy aligning Philippines with Cuba could halt conflict. He may stay six to nine months and visit major cities. Lopez described himself as dark, medium height, and Japanese-student like in appearance.

Aldermen Move to Cut City Water Rates and Hear Public Feedback
In a meeting yesterday the Board of Aldermen moved toward reducing water rates with a five member committee to draft a plan and hold public hearings. Alderman Tinkham criticized Boston's high charges and cited a five year water department surplus of 1.47 million dollars transferring to general tax funds. He proposed tiered rates, including a $2.50 base for homes under 000 value and a minimum 8 cent per 10 cubic feet for high-volume users. The Board also heard a nuisance dispute on P Street with Streets Superintendent Wheeler denying any nuisance and referred it to public improvements. Mayor Hart vetoed several street vendor and sidewalk permission orders, sustaining one barber pole veto and allowing Sachse’s permit to pass over the veto. A sheriff vacancy precept for the Nov 6 election was issued.
