WAFER RENAL REFORMS And
new SIDEWALKS ARE ORDERS
These Are Principal Issues of
Houghton Council Meeting
Held Last Night
SEWER TAX TO BE ASSESSED

The Houghton village council took
another forward step last night in the
matter OF reform in the matter OF sell
ing the village water and getting the
pay therefor. This is the second time
since the new council was organized
and the newly elected and appointed
village officials took their offices that
this sort of a reform wave has struck
the water department OF the village.
This new reform can probably be
credited i'm a measure 10 the activity
of John Mcnamara, who formerly sat
as a member of the board Of village
trustees. Mr.. Mcnamara attended the
council meeting and addressed that
body upon the present manner of
forcing the payment of delinquent
water rentals by the owners of the
property after being unable TO get the
pay from the user Of the water who
has moved out OF the owners place.
Mr.. Mcnamara had with him a couple
OF water bills which he has just re-
ceived from the new water collector
with the gentle insinuation that If the
amount be not paid within a certain
time limit, that the water will be shut
off.
Mr.. MeNamara's Suggestion.
''This BILL said Mr.. Mcnamara,
spreading one of the square documents
upon the council table els for one OF
my houses from which tho tenant has
moved. The bin is for five quarters
and the amount for each quarter. eX-
cept the last one is about 50, while the
last one is for about S11. It seems to
me the village should adopt some other
system Of collecting for the water
used. didn't use that water and the
tenant says he can't understand how
the last quarter should be so much
greater than the others Now this man
has moved from my place and is get
ting water from the village in another
house without first settling his old
bill.
81 think the village" continued the
Amphidrome manager. Should adopt
a system similar to that of the gas
company and the electric light COM
pany. so that when a man moves ow-
ing a bill. he will be unable to get wa
ter i'm another house until the old ac-
count is settled. Il seems 20 me that
this council should protect the prop
erty owners, who are the taxpayers, in
this manner, and I believe IL this rule

Sidewalks Must Be Built.

The other important matter that
was passed upon by the council at last
nights session. i'm fact the principal
reason for the calling of the special
meeting, was that of the building of
sidewalks i'm those places i'm the viii
lage where there is either no walk at
all or an old wooden affair endanger-
ing the safety OF pedestrians, At the
regular mating of the council earlier
in the month Superintendent Foley Of
the public works department was in
structed to so all over the village and
make up a list OF places where side
walks are needed and he was ready
with his report at the meeting last
night.
The report OF the village officer
showed that there are about 1000 feet
of sidewalks lacking i'm the village and
these are so widely distributed all over
the, corporate Nplat that it would he
difieult to find one street in the VIII
lage that il not deficient in the matter

is adopted and enforced II will be the
better for all concerned"
His Suggestion is Adopted.
After Mr.. Mcnamara had finished
his talk to the trustees. there was
much discussion OF the point at issue
and Village Attorney Hambitzer who
was present was asked IL the village
could pass a resolution instructing the
water collector TO collect the old bills
OF a tenant after that tenant has NOV
ed 10 a new address. MIR. Hambitzer
replied that the village because of the
fact that IL Is selling the water, can
make any rules for the sale and coll
lection Of the payment for the water
that Il sees tit. He said that no or
dinance, nor even resolution for that
matter, is needed to allow the water
department to force the delinquent
user of water at one address to pay
up before supplying him with water at
a new address.
Trustee Stoyle. who was i'm the chair
i'm the absence of President Miller and
who Is chairman of the water COM
mitteee. expressed himself as being In
favor Of proceeding i'm this manner and
he also stated that the water depart
ment will hereafter be run on more of
a business basis than in former years.
The new meter tester is now ready for
business. he said. and the water users
will not be given an opportunity 10
eVade payment Of their bills i'm the
future on the plea that their meter is
registering improperly Superinten-
dent of Public Work Foley will inn
have the meter removed and
tested and If the meter is found to be
correct. the bill must be, paid but If
the bill is exorbitant. it will be reduc-
ed to the figure of the previous reading
and then must be paid. Although not
a motion was passed in
structing the clerk TO notify the water
collector to refuse to supply water to
a renter i'm a new address until the bill
for the water supplied at the old adj
dress is paid.
