Urges Tree Planting
Mayor O. T. Stennes reported
that inasmuch as the city had
caught up on water expenses and
stood in a fair way to have a sur
plus under the present rate of
charges, that they had decided to
lower the rate. Heretofore the
base charge has been $500 for
the first 5000 gallons and 40 cents
per thousand gallons above that
amount. This rate is to be cut
to S1.25 for the first 5000 gallons.
and 10 cents per 1000 thereafter.
Mr.. Stennes said that he made
this announcement at the CONNER
clal club meeting, because it was
believed that under the new rates
many people who had hesitated to
plant trees on account of the ex-
pense of the water necessary to
make them grow, would now feel
that they could afford to beautify
their premises. He urged that the
people at the meeting get behind
a tree-planting campaign with a
view to identifying their own
property and the city in general.
He said that the city had decid-
to spend $4,000 in identifying
the two parks, and that in the
spring they would start by plant
ing 100 Chinese elms. This tree
especially adapted to the
climate here, and wherever plant
ed will grow.
