GIVES NOCREDIT FOR WATER
Supply Being Cui Off in Many Par IS
Of the City.
Department Has Put It's Foot Down
This Year ana Much Com
plain Is the Result.

| Between negligent landlords and an in
| eXcrabC water department, RESIDENTS OF
several sections OF the city are in a pre-
| dicament.
| Many of the residents OF Georgetown
especially are inclined TO be angry at
what they call an imposition. The whole
| thing grows out of the desire OF the
engineers department OF the District TO
| collect water rent for the year ending
| June 80, 1897. The modus operandi OF
making the collections is not entirely
! satisfactory TO tenants and landlords for
the reason that both are more or less
inconvenleuced- tenants III the rent
is not paid and the landlord in many
cases II the rent is paid. The tenants have
to put up with the inconvenience of no
water or else carry II from some street
pump whichis invariably situated seventeen
blocks away from the family so afflicted.
In the case or the landlord when the
notification is sent to him he may not he
in position to pay the water rent in
medIately. and the result is the tenant is
the one to suffer.
Last Week an Inspector of the engineers
department visited the tenants in quite a
large number of the Georgetown houses
| and left notices with them that If the
water rent was not paid within forty
eight hours the water would be turned
off. on the notification blank was also the
following statement: The law requires
that the water rent for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1897 is due on OF before
August l, 1895, and unless paid within
fort eight hours after the reception OF
this notice the water will be cut off aud not
restored until rent, cost aud penalty has
been paid
In many cases where the tenants have
paid their rent in advance the turning off
or the water has been a hardship, all be-
cause tn landlord, having number orhouses
to look after, has della yed the payment of
would he more convent mt for him TO do so.
All OF the real estate agents have been
served with notices TO pay up their water
rents and some of them are saying un.
pleasant things of the authorities connected
with the water department. Mr. Finkling,
real estate dealer at the corner of Thirty
second and n streets northwest, said lie
supposed the department was anxious to
getin the water rents. and took this course
TO do it. Last year the demand was not
made until long after October and in many
cases the rents were not paid until after
December 3. Mr.. FiDklng said that several
OF his tenants had been notified that the
water rent must be paid within rty-cight
hours and as the tenants had not notified
them the water was turned off. but was
quickly turned on when the situation be-
came known.
The delay in paying up the water rent
this year was occasioDed by the lcniency
OF the department last year when they al
lowed the tenants. landlords and agents
to run several weeks over time before pay
ing This year the bills are coming in
directly after the first of August and they
must be paid promptly OF the tenant will
find the water in the house they occupy
cut off
