Railroads all over this and other

Agricultural education is doing

WATER USERS
SLOW PAYING
Over Two Hundred Have
Neglected to Pay Tax and
Their Supply Will Be Cut
off as Soon as is Posi-
BILE.

The man who shuts of the water
when you don't pay YOUR tax took
his little wrench and started out yes
terday morning with designs on the
water supply of over two hundred
Phoenix citizens who had put off
paving this assessment.
II was Il bad getaway FOR the new
year. as the list OF deinquents is
Just about Il record breaker. II il
likely. in the opinion of those in the
water office. that the new system.
giving water users a little more lee
way than they once had. has en-
couraged laXity. Under the old ruling
it was necessary to pay the water
tax on the 10th Of each month to
avoid the penalty. Now it is merely
compulsory that the tax be paid be-
fore the water is turned off before
the dollar fine is eXacteo.
Those of the 200 and more who
found their supply of water cut off
yesterday will be taxed the extra
dollar. Those who beat the man
with the wrench to it will avoid the
fine.
