Water franchise critique questions meter effects and rates
The Times Tribune article on water rates is challenged as misleading. It mocks figures from Carroll D. Wright and omits conditions, arguing meters would not be mandated and that interdependent costs distorts comparisons. Ottumwa and Waterloo examples illustrate differing hydrant, bath, and house rates. Mrs. Foster and daughter visit with Harry Foster. Misses Magnetta and Jennie Schier travel to Independence.
