REPORT OF WATER BOARD
The Water Board submitted the
following renort:
To the Hon Ma snr and Ununeil,
Gentleman = We vour Water BoHrd.
beg to veport that oe met on luHe IL
7 otfe" the following
We have had uni4r consideration
the natter OF rendjusripc the water
rate Of the Wooden Viii and the Cas-
mere Mill and lind that the Cassi-
mere Mill does not use the city water
OF all an. that the Woolen Company
has tisconfinudd' the use of water in
the boilers bu: the Cashmere Com
papy desires TO leave the nipes con
neeted in case of an emergency.
Therefore we recon- uend that the
rate for tle Wooden Mill be fixed at
1925 per annum and that we charge
the Cashmere Company $40 for the
privilege of leaving mpes connected
and additional when they should use
the city water at any time.
Relative TO the matter tur5fates for
water takers outside of city limits We
were unable TO come to any conclu-
siou about same AS TO domestic sup
ply. but would refer same 10 your
Honorable Body. We would recon-
mend. however. hat o do not grant
the privilege OF using hose t. out
Of-town water takers.
We find that the old boiler at the
Water Works is IN neeC OF a patch
and we would recommend that we be
given permission to nave same done.
