Show Should Be Considered For The Good of Bingham . . (Contributed) In last week's issue The Press-Bulletin outlined a number of contemplated acts on the part of the new city administration. Among methods f or ;jraisinjj additional; revenues, , was mentioned increase of water rates. . f ' v ' ' f " r In this regard, numerous complaints put forth by citizens living liv-ing in Carr Fork especially, have reached this office. Not that these people would work in opposition to the city fathers far from it but that they would look out for themselves. For the water which is furnished by the city to the people living in Carr Fork is of such a contaminated character that it cannot be used for household purposes at all. This necessitates these families to carry all their drinking and cooking water, most of it being secured secur-ed at the tap situated just above the American Express Company's Com-pany's office. The Carr Fork people would gladly pay the increased water rates if they were furnished with good water in their homes. But the water they do get is too dangerous to use for household purposes, pur-poses, and it puts them to great inconvenience to be obliged to carry their drinking and cooking water in all sorts of rainy or snowy weather. This is a matter that the administration would do well to look into before rearranging the schedule of rates for the city water service. |
