$4,000
SAVED TO
CITIZENS
New Water Charge Nets
That Decrease in Annual
Payments by Consumers

Fargo water consumers. under the
new resolution adopted by the city
commission this week, will pay ap-
proximately $4,000 a year, whereas
collections under the old rate totalled
approximately $4,000 saving Of
$4,000 to the water consumers being
made by the change in rates, effective
October /.
r. B. Blakemore, commissioner of
waterworks, discussing the new water
rate resolution, said that the rate of S
cents a thousand for water during the
next six months, should be regarded
as a special rate only-the regular
rate contemplated being 715 cents.
II estimate that this special rate Of
cents will provide enough money
with the amount that is now on hand
in the fund.-" said Mr.. Blakemore.
THE people Of the city should regard
this price Of 5 cents a special rate for
that is exactly what It is. According
to my estimates the regular rate is 7h
cents per thousand gallons and / am
sure that this price will be sufficient
to operate and maintain the plant"

Mr.. Blakemore says that with $4,000

he estimates that this is about what

In explaining the water fund as pro-

ordinance, Mr.. Blakemore said that
the fund could be compared to a tank

would shut off the spiggot.
