WATER RATES
PAID PROMPTLY

According to the records of the wa
ter department in the Superintendent
of Public Works office, the water
rates which were paid up till yester-
day afternoon exceeded those for a
like period ending on July II last.
For sixteen days ending July IT,
1911, S47,333.49 was paid in water
rates. For the sixteen days ending
yesterday, the rates paid came to
$4S,616.34, and there is still to be &C
counted for the money that may come
in by mail today. Many people leave
the payment of their water tax till the
last moment. If any letter shows a
postmark of yesterday, the rates are
not delinquent.
There was big rush at the water
office lately, and the staff has been
toiling at night to keep up with the
work The delinquent rates do not
amount to much, and those people
who neglected to pay in time will
have to add a penalty of ten per cent
/ to their checks.
