Westring issued a warning to delinquent users of city utilities this week to clarify the city's stand on citizens who habitualy are delinquent in payment of power and water accounts. Mayor Westring reports that utilities have been discontinued at several homes during the past week. Some hostility has come from the delinquent" parties, claiming an injustice has been done to them. The mayor retorts that this action is strictly within the rights of the city administration, according to action taken by the city council some time ago. Mayor Westring wishes to remind all subscribers of utilities of the terms printed in red ink at the bottom of each bill sent out, which states ; , "Add 10 penalty if paid aft 15th of current month. Dlscont iipction without further notice, after 20th. Reconnectlon fee $1.00 (after hours $2.50.") The mayor pointed out that a crack down on delinquent accounts was going to be made, and added it was not fair for the high' percentage of patrons to pay their bills currently while a few were allowed to become delinquent for several months. According to Mr. Westring the practice of sending out "warning cards" and notice of disconnection time" will be done away with, and services will be disconnected after the time designated on current power and water bills sent out each month. , ELDER FRED R.
