at 5000 each. this being the average
rental paid in other cities of this
class.
This throws the burden OF uainte-
nance OF the fire hydrant system up
on the general tax payer instead Of
being carried by the water consumer
We feel that this is right and just and
that before the water department will
be able to create a sinking fund %
reduce our bonded Indebtedness IL

We would recommend that ths
above rates be adopted. and that .sn

sumner be advised OF the change

RE-ADJUST
SCHEDULE OF
WATER RATES

The water rates as they exist under
the present ordinance have long been
a subject foF discussion in the cl.y
council. but the difficulty Of re-adius;-
ing them on an equitable basis has
hitherto prevented any action in the
matter. The ordinance as II now
stands was passed several years ago
and is not flexible enough to meet the
changed conditions and make the rs
sessments apply properly to all con-
sumers OF water from whom the csty
thinks 1t ouEa; TO derive a revenue.
The water committee has recently
gone over the ordinance very careful
~ and has made certain changes and
additions which II believes will render
It adaptable TO the altered circuin-
stances. Its Recommendations are ;he
result of an exhaustive study OF the
situation. and. II adopted. will include
in the water assessments good many
consumers who have thus far escaped
any special classification with its in
creased payment OF revenue 20 the
i city. The report OF the water COM
mittee to the council Monday night
in relation to the proposition follows:
Again referring to the matter of
water rates. your water committee
and water superintendent would re-
spectfully recommend that the fol-
lowing changes and additions be made
to the present schedule:
