WATER RULING
IRKS MAJORITY
OF PETITIONERS
Stiverton The representatives of
the 700 petitioners to the mtyor,
council and water commission
concerning the water rates are
apparently not satisfied with the
decision of the commission in re
turning to the former rates. The
following explanation Is presented
In defense of their expressed wish
es that a change be made:
"In view of the fact that a
lengthy report of the proceedings
of the SUverton water commission
and the mayor's committee session
recently held was given extensive
publication. It seems no more than
fair that the petitioners who asked
for reduction of water rates may
make known their viewpoint.
"The prayer of 715 Interested
patrons of the water system of SU
verton, should not be Ignored.
"In view of the present depres
sion and the fact that the wages
of the workers and the profits of
business have been reduced, the pe
titioners believe that the expense of
procuring water and the expense of
operating the plant ahould be re
duced. Hence, the petition of a
goodly number of the patrons of
the SUverton water system, asking
(not demanding) a hearing.
"It to the belief of the petition
ers that water can and should be
furnished at a lower rate than Is
now being charged. An examina
tion of the books and accounts of
the water commission bears out
this contention. The books do not
disclose very much economy in op
eration now being practiced.
"About the same expenses are
kept up as prevailed during the
flush and prosperous time. About
the same as when the bonded In.
debtedness was $45,000 instead of
(20,000.
"There Is no question but that
the system Is, and should be, sell
supporting. However, the petition
ers believe, this does not require
or Justify the collection or the
spending of the sum of $18,000 per
year at this time. It may have
been necessary when the bonds
were $45,000 and interest on this
whole amount had to be paid. Now
that the bonds are only $20,000 and
the Interest Is proportionally re
duced It is deemed not necessary.
"A further examination of the
books and accounts of the commis
sion and their statement of June
30, 1032, discloses that the com
mission now has on hand and un
used, the sum of $6,000 and over.
If the rates charged during June,
1033, were continued untU next
April, 1933, the time when the next
$5,000 bond and interest Is due, and
all expenses paid as heretofore,
there would be approximately $12,-
000 In the hands of the water com
mission. Alter paying the $5,000
bond and $000 Interest April 1, 1033,
there would remain $0,700 or about
the sum $700 over or added to the
present surplus.
"The petitioners, who are reason.
able, honest and earnest workers
and business people and our neigh
bors and friends, who have the best
interest of the people of SUverton
and community at heart, do not
believe It advisable or wise or ne
cessary at this time of shortage of
money, to buUd up a large reserve
or surplus or a large sinking fund
far beyond the needs of the pres-
; ent and Immediate future. On the
'other hand, they do believe that
.the strictest economy should bt
practiced, while others are taking
a cut in salary and curtailing ex--penses,
the water commission
should do the same.
1 "One of the contentions of the
petitioners Is they do not like the
;thought of being compelled to pay
$1 minimum or a service charge
which entitles them to no water.
They would have been satisfied
with a small amount of water for
the first $1.
"Those petitioners who live out
side of the city limits of SUverton
are deserving of some considera
tion. They have built their own
lines to connect with the SUverton
system and have put In their own
. meters, aU at their own expense.
Their contributions to the Silver-
ton system has helped to some ex.
tent to pay the expenses of opera.
tion and the payment of the bonds.
Tney should not be entirely ig
nored.
"The operation of the SUverton
water system would run more
smoothly with satisfied customers
than It possibly can with even
few hundred who feel they have
not been dealt with Impartially
and fairly.
