June 80. In addition, the charge will
include the minimum meter rate Of
$3.50 in advance, allowing 1900 cubic
end December 81. 1918. All water that
may be used in excess of that quantity
will be charged for at the rate OF 4
cents per 100 cubic feet.

notice to this effect and unless pay
ments are then made the water will be
cut off. To have the service renewed
