Waterworks Tax Rebate and City Overpayments
Under an 1881 amendment the city exempted the Waterworks Company up to 250000 and paid rent on pump-house ground. Five years of underassessed valuation and extra charges brought total payments to 59878.38, plus earlier 20000 rent, totaling 79878.38 dollars for water works in San Antonio. Give Bracken the city and let us have the water works.
