Miss MR, RGEINS' WEKS - ON'VETUED OROINANCE ‘ Mr. Editor: Since the mayor's veto of ordinance No. 158 has been published in your tosether with an introductory statement that is the paper, not in accordance with facts, it becomes necessary to state | the position taken by the four coun- cilmen who voted to pass that ordi nance over the mayor's veto. The of §1 for the first closet and each additional eloset, is not an ditional seweraze tax,” but relieves the city of all tax for sewerase pur poses. 5 It is not true that “the people are taxed to pay for bonds and interest to provide sewerance” but this ordi- nance expressly provides that the people shall not be so taxed, and places the fees for the service ren- annual gerviee fees proposed $1 for ad dered in the sinking fund to relieve The mayor tax all the people of this tax. proposed to indiscriminately the people for a service that is en- | joyed by only a part of the people. The man outside the sewerage dis- trict will pay for sewerage and get nothing and in addition will have to | pay a hucket tax or provide a pri- vate sewerage the form of a cesspool, der the ban of the State board of health. The counneil proposes that the man ingide the sewera~e district will pay seweraze tax exactly in ac- cordance with the service he re-| ceives. If he gets much service he | pays the tax in proportion, or if he uees the sewers but little he pays in | use | proportion, or if he does not them at all he pays nothing. I know a man who has a grove inside the sowerage distriet that is ags $12,000. Under the mayor’s plan this grove will pay $18 per year for the use of sanitary sewerare and get not one penny of service. This same man has other property that will run his tax up to $61.50 under the mayor’s plan to tax all property for sewerage costs and service, but he will pay only $47 under the pro- { visions of ordinance No. 158, which !is a saving to him of -14.50 instead [of a ‘heavy additional sewerage tax.” 1Tis home and all his property is in the sewerage district. | Sifted to the bottom the question resolves {tself into these two propo- sitions: rendered him, nothing less. The mayor proposes that a man shall pay for what he does not get, if he i8 #0o unfortunate as not to come inside the sewerage ' district, and to pay for less than what he getg if he lives within the gewerage distriet, provided he dm-sl‘ not own a lot of property that does not use gewerage. In a nutshell, the interest on the $75,000 seweraze bonds will be $3,750 per year.
