Up Public Service.

The request Of the Government Hill
company that the city incorporate
within its limits Justin Terarce will
come before the city council for action
next Thursday. Meanwhile mayor
Charles Davis and the council are
giving the matter careful considera-
ton and Saturday issued the follow
ing statement;
The Government Hill company.
acting through James l. Mari and
James G. 8IcNary, have requested that
Austin Terrace be taken into the city.
and that the city assume the respon-
sibility Of furnishing water and TAX
ing care Of the parking.
Property Worth Sf35,SOO.
1t is estimated that the value Of
the property to be taken in, with
improvements thereon, is approx
mately S435.S00. which would net the
city in taxes about $1,000: that in ad-
dition to the taxes paid there would
De about $1,000 collected by the city
as parking fees for keeping up the
parking along the sidewalks. that the
cost Of keeping up the entire parking
TO the city would approximate $1,000
yearly; the collecting Of garbage
value of water used in all the parks
in said addition would amount TO
about S240Q, making a total outlay
of $500 as against $4,000 This would
also entitle the inhabitants Of said
district the privilege Of the city
schools
This proposition is based also upon
the condition that the present pump
ing plant, the buildings and the
ground upon which they stand shall
be conveyed by the Government Hill
company TO the city. said Govern
ment Hill company shall also assign
all its right. title and interest in and
TO the water and sewerage lines laid
in said addition. and is 10 dismiss the
case il now has pending against the
city wherein il is suing the city for
the sum Of $4,000 claiming that
amount due them by reason OF a
conversion by the city Of FL Paso Of
its water and sewer systems in that
part Of the Government Hill addition
taken into the city.
Entire Addition paved.
An audit OF the Government Hill
company's books show that the wells
and improvements Of all kinds at said
pumping plant cost something like
$4,000. in addition TO that the com
pany has spent about $4,000 in the
water lines and about $4,000 for
sewerage lines in said addition.
The entire addition is now paved.
