"The evidence discloses further that manufacturers and mercantile establishments in the city of Richmond have spent over $200,000 in equipping sixty-six separate automatic sprinkler

lines containing a total or . oetween

"These improvement were made primarily in the interest of insuring con tinuous service, reducing fire hazard! and installed at a large cost to the individual concerns. Now your honorable commission is contemplating an additional charge against these concerns, in spite of the fact that thf reduced their own fire hazard and that of their neighbors and the citizens of Richmond generally, and in spite of the fact that they have actually insured a reduction in the quantity of water used in the time of fire and havte thereby aided - the Richmond City Water Works."
