I, The Rock Island city commission
swSshes to call attention to the pub
lie that the six employees Of the
water department now rerating the
city must be allowed access to resi-
dences and business establish
ments.
A few reports have already come
IN where householders have denied
access to the reraters and that
eQme have gone 10 far as to use
strong language In rebuffng them.
d. Attention is called that reraters
are vested with full power to car
n out their work. Each carries
. star as means Of identifying him
with the work in hand and prop
.erty holders need not fear that un-
scrupulous persons might gain
entrance to their homes under the
guise of city employees.
Four of the employees have city
water department stars. These are

no meters fiat rate charges are
made and the purpose of the pres
ent rerating Is to learn OF new in
stallments. Of fixtures In the last 10
years, since the last rerating was
effected.
Property owners can easily
check up what their annual bills
will be by following the table Civ
en- below: -
A basic charge Of 81 for each
room is made. A 50 charge is made
for bath tubs, 81 for water closets.
SO for stllcocks. one charge made
for a e0-foot frontage with four
cents extra for each extra foot Of
frontage. 81 for each carriage
horse, 81 for each draft horse, S6
for stores or not over j, 500 square
feet floor, IS each for barber chair
and 50 each for automobile. These
are annual charges and by adding
up the costs Of each charge per-
missable in each individual case
| the property holders themselves
can figure what their bills will be.
However, this is done officially by
the reraters.
