Water Rates Hiked
About 30 Per Cent
Sulphur Springs' municipal wa-
ter rates were increased approxi
mately 80 per cent in an action by
the City Commission Tuesday
night. 1
The rates are effective July 15,
hut will hot be reflected until the
August bills are issued on Septem-
ber 1.
The minimum rate for water
was boosted to $1.35 for. 1,600
gallons. The old rate was $1.
I The resolution made by Artie
Stephens snd seconded by Joe Dsn
Avinger providing for the rate In-
crease wss passed unanimously.
The rates, as recommended by
City Manager Roy Hames, follows
first 1,000 gallons, $1; next 2,000,
56-cents per 1,000 gallons; next
3,000 gallons, 45-cents per 1,000;
next 4,000 gallons, 35-cents per
+,000; next 490,000, 28-cents per
1,000. All over that amount will

while' 10,000 gallons will cost
$4.85. Cost of 15,000 gallon* will
be $6.25 and 20,000 galjon# will

Hames displayed a tabulation of
water rates in Tyler, Kilgore, Ter-
rell, Henderson, Mount Pleasant,
Gilmer, Winnsboro, Pittsburg, Lin-
den, Quitman, Canton and Paris.
He said Sulphur Spring* rates fol-
lowing the increase will be less
than the average charged in these
cities.
The sanitary service charge was
not changed. It remains 80-cents
for the minimum bill.
Thus, the minimum water and
sewer bill in Sulphur Springs will
$2.15 on the September bill-
persons. i j*L

A split-vote 2 to 1 approval was

rice Kelty, Artie Stephens and Joe
Dan Avinger, Mayor J. R. Ramey
also announced his support.
While enacting the ban dur-
ing the peak consumption period,
the commissioners urged citiaens
to use sil the water they need dur-
ing other times,
•The purpose of this ordinance
is not to keep anyone from using
water,” Mayor Ramey said. ^
Plenty of Water
“We have plenty of water. We
want people to use all they need
except during these three hours.
We don’t have enough water then
to get it to everybody who" needs
it.”
The ban will not apply to water
coming' from individually owned
wells. Commissioners suggested
that well owners put out signs
identifying the source of the water
“in fairness to themselves.”

Public Warned
About Careless
Burning of Trash
A public warning against care-
less burning of trash was, issued
Monday by city firemen as the
danger of gras* fires continued
acute under the drouth conditions'
prevailing here.
’ Only one alarm was received
over the week-end. Neighbors had
a grass blue on Fuller street un-
der control Sunday when firemen
arrived. Another call Sunday »(-'
ternoon proved a false alarm.
Burning trash has been the prin-
cipal source of grass fires that
are oecuring here.
Trash burning is dangerous un-
der present conditions even when
an incinerator is used, firemen
pointed out, but some local resi-
dents arc continuing to start trash
fires In the open grass.
