Water bills to be collected on businesslike basis says official
Mirth H. Kuhl of the State Tax commission insists the local Water department collections adopt a businesslike method. Delinquency cannot be tolerated as eight years of laxity harms paying citizens. The city needs funds to pay bills and secure discounts. Ordinance 18 allows cutting off water to nonpayors, with notices published before each quarter and a 15 day grace before shutoff. John A. Newcome issued the first warning in the Sentinel urging citizens to heed the notices. It is less than 22 hours from Washington to Tokyo by air.
