BRAZIL WATER RATES
Protests of Citizens Granted by Public Utilities—City to Pay for Tapping.
By Special Correspondent BRAZIL, Ind., May 22.—Mayor Jones and City Water Works Superintendent Wilson were called to Indianapolis this morning to hear the report of the publio utilities commission made public late yesterday afternoon on the fixing of water rates in Brazil.
The ruling of the commission in ceduring the water rates charged by the city was a distinct disappointment to city officials but was received with satisfaction by the public, as citizens generally have been protesting against the increase in the water rates which was made by the Jones administration shortly after it was induced into office. The city made its biggest increase by rendering bills monthly Instead of quarterly as is provided by the ordinance.
Another blow to the city is the ruling that the city must pay for all service pipe extensions and taps of its mains. Heretofore the users of water have had to pay the cost of the service pipe and was also charged $7.50 for the tap. The aotion of the commission In compelling the city to pay rent for Are hydrants amounting to almost $6,000 a year out of the general fund will mean that the $1 tax rate on which the Jones administration rode Into office will have to be Increased. It will also probably mean that Mayor Jones will have to abandon his plans for the erection of a new city hall for the present

Report of Committee of Sixteen Favoring Merger of Sales Forces Accepted By Coal Men.
Practically the entire report of the committee of sixteen appointed to take up the problems which confront the coal operators in Indiana in perfecting plans for the formation of a gigantic sales corporation were accepted at the meeting of the operators in the Chamber of Commerce rooms Friday afternoon. The adoption of the comraittee's report brings the plans for the organization a step nearer completion and makes the possibility of the new company more feasible, Phil H. Penna, secretary-treasurer of the Indiana Bituminous Coal Operators' association, said Saturday.
Coal operators having an investment in mining properties amounting to practically $30,000,000 are interested In the plans to form one company to promote the sale of coal production. The company will be known as the Coal Sales Company of Indiana and headquarters probably will be established in Terre Haute. 'It is not a merger," said Mr. Penna Saturday. "It is a plan to form one gigantic sales company to buy the products of the mines and sell them. When formed the corporation will be for that purpose. This organization will eliminate the necessity of coal companies maintaining an office in several different cities. The work of the committee will still go on and there will be several meetings called before the organisation Is finally perfected."
Steps to form the coal sales company were taken by the operators after It was learned that such an organization would cut the cost of sales forces.

MORE HESSIAN FL7.
Fred
Vermillion Tells About thl Farms In Fayette. Fred Vermillion, a well knowi* farmer of Fayette township, vlslte The Tribune office Saturday with bunch of wheat from a seventeen act plot and said that the wheat in the section Is badly damaged by the Hec sian fly. He said that the seventee acres from which the sample was se lected will not produce more than hal crop. He said people have an er roneous idea about the Hessian fly, th« layman imagining that the fly devours the wheat heads. What really happens is that the fly deposits an egg on the stalk about the flrst joint from the ground. As the egg hatches it decays the wheat stalk which breaks off and the stalk and head die.
Vermillion said that the loss to the Fayette farmers this year would be enormous. He says the weather has much to do with it as he has known rapid growth by wheat due to rains just as the right time to seemingly overcome the power of the maturing eggf to wither the stalk of the wheat.
