Opposite the Post Office.
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.
