May Use Surplus
Funds TO Install
Large Water Main

Blakemore it is probable that this H.
inch main will be put in, partially by
special assessment and partially by
making use Of a portion Of the large
amount of money accumulated in the
banks of the city as a depreciation
fund which was provided for by the
so-called Blakemore ordinance passed
by an initiative vote Of the people
about year ago.
1t is the intention to make use of
a portion Of this large fund to pay for
the additional cost OF the 12-inch over
a 6-inch main. What it would cost to
install a 6-inch main will be raised
by special improvement assessment,
the balance to be taken from the de-
probation fund and to be paid back in
credit over a period of years as decid-
ed on by the board.
