These places located in different portions of the state ought to give a fair idea of what water rates are exacted elsewbeto. In makiiig c.omparisons take wliat will be used the most. For instance, dwellinrs will be the most important to private consumera. Water closets and urlnals will in time be of great importance, ulieu a system of sewerage shall be built. Alany of our cilizeus will be interested fu the charges for lawn sprinkIlny, and for use of hose In the barn in SDiiiikling yards, gardens, walks, streets, etc, etc. At anv rate, here is a chance to compare tigures all day, if one chooses to do so. From a very hasty comparison we sliould consider the Ann Arbor rates fullv as high on all of the important items, as any quoted.
