"Even if we should have to raise the rate to a dollar a month minimum, which rs the most that we feel it would ever have to. be increased to, the rates would still be lower than niOfrt, said Mayor Woodbury Our records," he continued, show that there has been a gradual increase in-crease in the revenue even during dur-ing the depression and this year shows a good increase over last. On this basis it is very possible that the rates would never have to be raised." Asked if the goT eminent would interfere in any way with the operation of the system the Mayor May-or replied that they would not do so as long a 5 the city met its interest and installments as they came due. '"If we do not find ourselves abb: to meet our obligations obli-gations to ttem," said the Mayor, May-or, "then they will step in and raise rates '.o a point where the revenue would be sufficient. We are particularly anxious that Our citizens vealize that we are not bonding anything but the revenues rev-enues :rom the water system. The government cannot hold us responsible in any other respect, and naturally they will see to it that the revenues are sufficient to pay out. And we will be able to pay out, even though there isn't any further increase in the use of water, by making a slight increase in the rates for a short time when we will have to pay on both the present bonds against the system and the new PWA loan." . Following are a few of Mayor Woodbury's statements: Vote yes on the bond, because: "It means a great increase in our water, culinary and irrigation. "It means no more chlorina-tion. chlorina-tion. "It means a clear, pure water supply, no chlorine, no mud, no alkali. "It pledges no property merely mer-ely the net receipts of our culinary cul-inary water system. "It does not increase taxes on property. "The water system pays for itself it-self with a reasonable rate. "Vote yes and have a good water system the rest Of your lives." |
