Billing Started
On Connection
To Sewer System

First bills covering quarterly
charges for connection to the
Pascagoula sewer system have
been mailed to a number of resi-
dents, Walter r. Gulley, mayor,
announced this week.
The bills cover the July-Sep-
TENDER period and are for one
quarter of the $40 annual charge
assessed under terms of an ordi-
nance adopted by the mayor and
council in 1912,
Approximately 1900 bills were
included in the first billing, S. II.
Frederic, city clerk said, and
were sent only to those persons
whose residences are connected
to the new sewer system. A large
part of this number was made
up of the original Navy houses in
the Eastlawn Housing project,
and the Inglewood Homes ada
cent to S. Pascagoula and Mar
ket street. All residences in the
city are expected to be included
by the time October billings are
due, he added.
The sewer charges are payable
by whoever is responsible for
and pays the utility bills at the
residence involved, Mayor Gull
ley explained. In that part OF
the FPHA housing projects
where the utilities are included
in the rent, Mayor Gulley said,
the billing is being handled di-
rect with the housing authority
on a flat contract basis.
Under terms of the ordinance
a $40 annual charge is fixed for
residences, emitting the user to
the connection of a kitchen sink
and one full bathroom unit. For
additional fixtures a charge OF
81 each is made.
Commercial rates are fixed al
$500 annually for the connec-
ton of eight fixtures. Additional
fixtures also carry an additional
charge OF 81.
Proceeds from the charges will
be used for maintenance of the
sewer system, operation of the
disposal plant and to apply on
the bonded Indebtedness incurred
in the construction of the sys-
tenn, Mayor Gulley said. The
charges are not subject to dis
count, as are the water and gas
bills, he added.

ported.
A survey of a cross section of
stores, groceries and public of
fices in the two cities revealed

OF the smaller groceries will
probably remain open for bust
ness. The post office will not

BuildingI Is
Quilted In
NightBlaze
Estimute D0m0qe
AT $4,000 After
Post : Fire Survey

Damages estimated at approx
imately $4,000 were caused by
fire which Quilted the old Walter
Gautier building, ZIG Krebs ave-
nue., Friday night. Housed in
the two-story structure which is
closely associated with the his
tory of Pascagoula were the Of
fees of L. c. Winterton, consult
ing engineer and present owner
of the building, and storage fa-
cilities of the Rhodes erdue
Furniture Company.
The blaze apparently started
in a pile of Grating and packing
materials piled just on the out
side of the front door, fire Off
Gals stated. Breaking through
the wooden front doors, the
flames swept up the stairs and
burned into both sides of the
lower floor. The alarm was turn
ed in at IL pm. by persons liv-
ing in the neighborhood.
BY the time the fire fighting
apparatus reached the scene the
fire had gained considerable
Roadway and was burning up
stairs and all across the front.
Fire trucks were delayed about
two minutes at the railroad cross
ing by a freight train that was
already across the crossing when
the alarm sounded.
The fire was brought under
control by the fireman in about
As minutes but it was several
hours before it was completely
extinguished. The Canty Coffee
building, located on the west
side OF the building, was threat
ened by the fire but the fire
fighters used every precaution to
prevent the spread of the flames
and the fire resistant material
from which the building is con-
structed withstood flying sparks
and the great heat.
Building Total Loss
According to Mr.. Winterton,
the building was valued at $l0,-
600 and he declared that in his
opinion it is a total loss. Although
equipment IN his offices valued
at between $4,000 and $4,000 was
destroyed, valuable files and
important papers in files and a
safe were in very good condi-
ton he said.
Furniture and various other
stock stored in the lower floor of
the building were destroyed and
damaged to the extent of be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000, officials
of R h d e S-P e Furniture
Company said. Some of the stock
was completely destroyed. some
was damaged by fire and smoke
and other items were damaged
by water.
The building which was erect
ed by Walter Gautier has been
the location of a number of bus
ineSses. At one time the Scran-
ton State Bank was housed there
as were the Pascagoula- Moss
Point and the Merchant and Ma
rine Banks. The post office was
located there for a number of
years.
