In former years the City Council of
Wilmington had authority to charge
property owners for water pipes laid
past their premises, ut the rate, Of
fifty cents per foot. This process
proved, unsatisfactory to many people,
who held that the city should pay for
laying water pipes and not charge the
cost against the property, in view Of
the fact that the property was also
compelled to pay yearly tax for the
use Of the water conveyed through
these same pipes. Accordingly they.
applied for relief to the State Legis-
lature, at the session of 1877, and
were SUGGESTED in having law enact
ed prohibiting the Council from max
ing any further assessments for lay
ing water pipes. The bill was passed
in the shape Of q section to the law
relating TO the assessment and collec-
tion of city taxes. s9ivts<N el yIes
go Under the new law things went on
swimu.ingly for two years. Council

the people, and the Auditor collected
all he could Of the old charges, which
the debtors paid with great grumbling
aud unwillingness. Finally the Audi
tor struck some parties who owed
some pretty stiff bills and they at once
''squealed" and objected to payment.
The Legislature was then In session,
and in order to save themselves they
rushed off to Dover and were success
full inhasing another law passed. pro-
hibiting the city from collecting any
more Of the charges for water pipes
then ON the Auditors books. Coun-
Gilman G. H. Rodney was mainly in
strt,mental in having this law passed.
This saved the delinquents, but 1t
raised howl against the unlucky
ones who had already paid, and many
of them have frequently talked since
Of suing the city for the recovery of
the sums paid. They argued that 1t
was unjust for them to pay while
others were exempted by the provisions
of recent laws. l.ge1Nk
A case growing out of the charges
for water pipe, is now In dispute. Mr..
L. @. VanKleeck, against whom there
were several charges on the Auditors
books, paid $50 on account, few
years ago, but did not specify what
particular account the payment should
be credited to. The auditor credited
it to the water pipe account, and now
Mr.. Van Kleeck naturally objects to
any such proceeding, and desires it
credited to some other account, so
that his bill for water pipe can be out
lawed with the rest. The matter is
now before the Law COMMITTEES Of
City Council. i.., ,an
The amounts now standing on the
Auditors books for the laying Of
water pipe amount to $40, 968. IA.
Council, tonight, will doubtless in
struct the Auditor to close these worth
less accounts, and direct the Clark to
credit them on the lien books, where
they are charged as liens against the
properties past which the pipes were
laid. tuf H.. ii7S

The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1880-01-15

TaASKs-The last week in November, enclosed
bills to all subscribers who more than year in
arrears. The bill was accompanied by q very meek
and humble explanation-in fact, almost an apollo
gy for sending it. Yet some eight OF ten persons
took offence, and stopped their papers. But We
set out to thank those who cheerfnlly responded
to it. More subscribers have promptly paid their
bills than any similar occasion heretofore. That
is what keeps a newspaper alive-the men who pay.
Some have written that they were unable to meet
their bills at present. but would do at the earliest
opportunity. This is all right. When man hon.
estly says he wants to, but can't, satisfied,
and willing to wait on him. We do not ask impos-
sibfties of anybody But there still many who
have made no response whatever-have not paid,
nor said they will pay soon, or can't pay. IL this
doing just the square thing by usi The money We
get from our customers, mostly goes for their own
benefit. We have now committed ourself to i'm
provcnents that will cost money. Whether these
improvements shall be kept just at the point where
can say we have fulfilled our promise, or wheth-
they shall be liberal and unstinted, depends alto
gether upon the extent to which get what is
due us, and the additional encouragement We shall
receive.
