Bennett was presented and read en folash.,t43writ: Port Townsend, Wash., 430 Lawrence St. Mayor and City Council, Port- Townsend, Wash. Gentlemen: On the eleventh of Sept. I was fined one dollar for not knowing that my water bill had to be paid by the tenth of the month. I was informed by the City Treasurer that the notice had been published in the local paper the last week of July. I do not take the city paper so had no means of knowing about this law. I do not want to be unreasonable about this small sum but I do not consider this is a fair way of getting money out of strangers. All summer long I have paid for water I was not allowed t use and received a rebate of thirty five cents only out of the two dollars and twenty five cents paid for crater for sprinkling. I ant more than wrilling to do my share for the benefit of Port Townsend but expect from th City a fair allowing. I appeared before the Council regarding.this matter and the evening I appeal ed there was only an informal meeting. Very respectfully, I'ss. L. L. Bennett.
