More About Water Rates

(continued from page 1)
to make money out of the water sys-
tem connection charge, it has been

pointed out in the'past that the $15
charge, for example, was far below
cost. The new figure of $50 is cloge

labor entailed.
Only a few changes will occur in

were increasing the rate of $6.50
for stores and offices with dwellings
attached to §8, increase for Cold
Storage plants from $4 to $5, and in-
creasing the autoc court rate of $1
per unit or cabin per month to $2.
This latter change is contemplated
because commissioners feel that
since the auto courts are renting.
cabins on a monthly ba for a good
part of the year, they should be
moved out of the straight transient
class.

The construction of Williams
Lake's first swimming pool on the
property of P. Jorgenson and H.
Wells at the lakeside, prompted com-
missioners to consider adding this
type of user to the rate schedule.

Suggested ‘rate is $15 extra for the
year. .
Other new additions to the sched-
ule are apartments $4, trailer using
water from rented connection $2.50.
