Then after <br />twenty d.a~'s if no attention has been paid of if they have <br />failed to right the rLiatter. action t~Jay be begun in the District <br />Court. <br /> <br />I nO,te that the oity of Beaumont is oonsidering <br />these questions a.nd I assume from what I lsarn that the <br />0iroular sent out was general to most if not all of the towns <br />in the south part of the State. <br /> <br />As to the propriety cf" the rates, I would gay that ct <br />pr~sent the city Of Houston'rates for residenoea are but t2.00 per <br />month and that th~ proposed increase at Beaumon't is only $2.5C. <br />The proposed inorea,sEl in Houston is also I believe but ~'3. CO <br />and oonsidering the size of these oities and the service <br />furnished, i tseerrs to Yale tha.t the ra.te propos ed at La Porte <br />of ~2.25 for resi4enoes is entirely too high.
