Mrs Alice Given, property. own
er outside the city limits, appeared
before the City Council protesting
the paying of an additional one
cent sales tax.
Mrs. Given stated she spoke not
only for herself but a group of
people who lived outside the City
limits who now pay a personal
property tax to the Independent
School District. They felt they were
being put in a squeeze" between
paying that and paying the new
sales tax, which, she said, is de-
signed to eliminate the personal
property tax of City jewellers.
When assured that the School
District tax has been eliminated,
the spokesman for the group with
drew her objections.
In other action, the City Council
voted approval in the first reading
of Ord. 248, which covers the new
sewer and water project in the ad-
dition.
The income from the City's wa
ter system is paying part of its
sewer costs, according to City
Engineer Jim Barr. Barr presented
a detailed study of the two sys-
TENS and recommended that the
charges for sewerage services be
upped.
The sewer department is runn-
ing a deficit yearly of $4,000 ac-
cording to the engineers figures.
This will be increased with the
construction of the Leite Addition
system. He recommended a $1.50
monthly increase for the service,
to pay for maintenance and also
debt retirement. Even this amount
will allow only small surplus.
The engineer presented several
plans by which the City could put
its water system on a paying basis.
The plans involve using only the
present system, which so far has
been adequate, or whether the
City should plan for future de-
velopments and additional use of
water by new industries. In that
event the Pillar Mountain water
project should be developed, thus
raising the cost.
