Question Of Extending Water Privileges
to Non-Residents Discussed by Council

Whether the city government should
extend water privileges to residents
of the counties was matter OF con-
tention at the monthly meeting of the
common council last night.
Councilman Clarence Seaton, OF
Clay ward, claimed that the city de-
rived no benefit from extending water
privileges to county residents. This
practice should be stopped" he said,
when an ordinance to allow James T.
Patterson to lay mains for city water
to his residence just outside the city
limits on Grove avenue.
The city is deriving no revenue
from these county residents, who go
outside of the city, where they can
get low tax rates, and where they
carry their bank stocks for low rates.
At the same time they get city water,
gas, electric lights, fire protection and
many other conveniences. while they
pay nothing for the city's upkeep. We
should not tolerate IL any longer"
Councilman Claude l.. Batkins, of
Lee ward, commended that the matter
was of great Importance to the city
These people to whom we are ex
tending water privileges will be resi-
dents of the city some day. when that
section Is annexed Then the water
mains that they are now paying for
will become the city's property"
Develops Territory.
Councilman Jacob Umlauf, of Clay
ward, also commended that the extend
ing of city conveniences to county
residents was the reason why this
city had grown to its present power.
I'VE must develop this land now. with
the peoples cooperation. so that
when we get ready to annex the land
will be in a highly developed state"
The ordinance extending water
privileges to Mr.. Patterson's home was
passed by vote OF III to 3, Council
men Atkinson, Moore and Morton
votingin opposition. They contended
that water privileges should first be
given city residents before being ex-
tended to the county.
Councilman Moore said that there
are hundreds of homes on the South
side without city water.
An ordinance extending city water
privilege to the Bellevue Development
corporation. located in Henrico county,
was passed by tae same vote.
