There are now due the city by patrons of
the water work system $10,500 for water
rents and the superintendent will shut off
the water supply unless these little
amounts are liqu1dated at once. The
tenants are not looked to for rents, but
the proprietors instead. By law the
property alone is holden, and Superin-
tendent Henion will be around after de-
Iinquent property owners with sharp
stick this week.
Superintendent Henion, of the water
works, reports that the citizens being sup
piled by the system, are laboring under
mistaken idea respecting the collection of
water rents. They believe that the tenants
or occupants of property are the ones
holden for the respective amounts, where
as the superintendent has nothing what
ever to do with tenants. He looks alone
to the property owners, and lien can be
placed upon the property of delinquents.
