TO WATER USERS

Please take notice that your water
rent was due and payable on May 1st,
and it being my desire to collect the
entire amount as soon as possible,
you will please govern yourselves
accordingly and call on me at THE
NEWS office and pay the same at once.
Several have not paid the 81 advance
required by Ordinance NJ. 1856, and 1t
is the imperative order of the mayor
and City Council that this part OF
that ordinance be strictly enforced.
The ordinance in question reads:
"a deposit with the city treas
urer of at least the sum Of two
dollars by each water user shall
be made on or before the first
day of May and November OF
each and every year to apply on
and secure the payment Of the
water rents that may become
due and owing from such water
users for each succeeding period
OF six months
This notice is given also because
some renters are laboring under the
misapprehensioD that the & which
they have paid will apply on rent
now due. Such is not the case.
Very Respectfully
w. S. INaHAM, City Auditor.
