At a meeting of the Tillamook Water Commission on Wednesday, at which Mavor H. T. Botts and Councilman W. C. King were present, called for the pur pose of showing that the water commis sion needed the money from eight mills, hut the city council had only allowed five mills. 1 here appears to have been some little misunderstanding between the two bodies when the levy was made, lhe city council having the impression at the time that a five mill tax would be sufficient, w hich would bring in about $1600, and if the citizens paid that amount to help out the water system, it should not pav $930 as well lor water. Things have been running uiong in that way since the first of the year, but the water commission now find that it is in need of more inonej’ and could use seve ral thousand dollars to good advantage in extension work. President Brodhead having stated the financial condition of the water system and the need of more money,the consensus of opinion was that the city council ought to allow the coin mission the additional three mills,or pay lhe water rent for the year, which is now $77.50 per month. As there ap pea red no other wav to help the water commission out ot its financial difficulties and it being a city matter, Mayor Botts J- and Councilman King consented to pav the water rent, which will give, with lhe five mill tax, about $2,500 towards helping the water system nut this year Irom taxation. Last vear the water system cost the city $2,109 in taxation. Commissioner Goodspeed asked several times “What kind oi’ a shape will it leave lhe city in ?’’ but not one ot the commis sioners undertook to solve it. Mayor Botts did sav, however, that it was going to pul lhe city that much more in debt. ;iri I Tillamook COUNTY BANK SPECULATION !
