CHANGE WATER RATE
City Council Will Make Read
justment Soon

The city council is working OH an
ordinance readjusting and making
something of raise in the charges
1 for CITY water. The change has been
made necessary in order to meet the
interest on the water works bonds for
the new system. While the increased
use of water within year OF SO will
likely be able TO take care Of the ex-
pense, it is right now that the coun-
Gil is up against the matter of rails
ing funds.
The raise in charges will not be
heavy, but it is hoped to make a
considerable gain by the readjust-
mcnt, thus making every body pay
for the water actually used. Here
tofore a six room house has been the
unit upon which charges for resi-
dsnce or domestic use have been
based The three room house will
hereafter be the uiit and for each
additional room an additional charge
will be made.
The city has been losing hundreds
of dollars annually in water rent
through people making increased use
of water, without reporting to the
water superintendent. Many people
have bought water motor washing
machines OF which no record has
been made. Others have added more
rooms to their homes and more
plumbing While some Of this may
have been reported TO the council it
is believed that there is very great
percentage of the water used that Is
never paid for.
The council will now send man
over the city to secure exact data on
what water is being used and have it
charged up to the users.
