WATER RENT is
FIRST PAID FOR
PROJECTS COST
Mayor Explains Assessments Are
Cleared Through Quarterly
Fees for City Service.

There being a certain amount OF
uncertainty in the matter of pay
ment Of water main extensions in
territory recently annexed to the
city, Mayor Schriver today explain
ed the manner in which the city
proceeds in collection of assess
ments.
Take for instance the owner
OF 50-foot lot. the executive
said Say he is assessed $40 for
the water mains. This sum is
spread over a period Of 10 years.
He has to pay in 81 year. There
is no doubt but that ne will use IS
worth of water a year Seven dol
lars Of that sum goes in towards
paying his assessment and 81 goes
into the water works fund. In 9TH
er words. as far as he is concerned,
he is merely paying mis- water rent
and he does not in any way notice
that the money is going towards
paying his assessment.
"Or take the owner Of the same
lot which has no house on it. He
does not use water for the property
because there is no dwelling on it.
He pays his 81 year to the city
just the same. and he is credited
with it in water rent. so that say
20 years later he builds on the
place, ne can first use $40 worth OF
water before he will begin to pay
water rent.
Every dime paid in on water
assessments. principle and interest,
he gets back in water rent"
Because of proposed extension Of
the watermains in the new terri
tory, property owners in that sec
ton were confused by various
stories relative to the manner of
collection of water assessments.
