amount OF tax undtr the water Ordl-
nance.
1repeat my suggestion in my last re.
port In my opinion there will be no
Justice or right in the matter Of the use
and payment for water until the meter
system is introduced and each consumer
pays for what he uses. ] suggest you
should make meter rate soon, 40 those
who wish to put in meter can do 80,
the present meter rate being prohibitive.
Very respectfully,
j. E. SIMPSON,
Water Commissioner.
