Dear Sir; -
Returning herewith w-ter bills,as rendered for old and new City galleon
12th and 13th streets,dete:i January,April and July,lst,1911,whic;h show excess amount 0
of water uned in previous sivarters,would advise that sut,.e time in Jul.y,w made a per-
son 1 examination of these preruisis n- c1 found that there had been for a 1 .nr timo,a
big leak 1; the Old City all of 13ti,5treet. AL.() that th City had 1. t'!e mule lot
adjoining rhout 12 ur 15 head of mulr;s to wtiter. . This I think will explain the excess
on the Old City Hall meter.
The City during tue rnonth:l of f'ovewber acid ')_ '>r:bor 1710 laid concrete si :a-wr:' U'c
and set out e lawn aro,l-ci tt,o Now (.`it,y r1.1,wnich would require quite r+ lot of Neter.
I am also informed th.:t the prisoner:' in the City Jail turn on the valve nnl le-vc the
r:& t. r run,ing.
In view of the above T donut consider that t'ne attached writer hills are axorri-
tent or excessive.
