New Ruling Put Into Effect by Worthin5ton Fire District
MRS. BURTON ". NORTH
Miss Weymouth Denies She Is En- gagged to Arthur GoOdrich-Jacobs Is Fined S30 And Costs-Othcr Items of Interest About Town.

Residents of the Worthington Fire lis rict, who are supplied With water by that district will have 4j days in which to pay their water rents ln the future, according to action taken recently by the fire district committee. This new step has been taken in order to speed up coiIec- lions, as it is said that many resi- dents have been slow in paying the rents, allowing them to lapse for many weeks on some occasions After 45 days have elapsed the water will be turned off from now on.
 The new regulation allows 80 days to clapse for the payment of rents without the addition of interest From 30 days to 45 days ten per cent addition will be charged and after 45 days have passed the water will be shut off.
 This step, while drastic, is noceS- sary in order that the district may have funds with which to carry on it's wolk. In New Britain, where returns are greater, a longer period is allowed to elapse in some caSeS a wear or two, but the Worthlngtoh district cannot afford to do that, Tn snitc of the fact that more consum- CTS have paid up promptly.
