As long as we have to take them up in January any way, I think it a very good plan to take them now and save the one per cent and the interest for nine months. I have more than enough money to take them up in the fund for that purpose. '91th your approval I will do so as soon as the bank opens. Very truly yours, H. E. Dobbs, City Treasurer.

I Dear Sir: - I would like to dray your attention to the little matter I spoke to you about separating the water supply on my property out in the Broadway Addition, the home from the lend and putting the home on a flat rate. It looks that I will have to rent the house apart and in the event that I should have ,Ito rent it that way and the land to another party, it would not be practical to have two Vr I I 401 continued. Mrs. Cohen letter continued) total strangers on one meter. Should I not be able to rent the land I shall advertise it rent free, but the water rent would have to be paid and there again the most logical thing would be to have the wa- ter meter separate from the home. Since I have acquired the property I have already paid four years of taxes in less the one year. In consideration of a tax payer and not a tax dodger I ask of you that favor. Please put this up before such a body as ,you may deem it advisable and I assure you of my everlasting gratitude. Very truly yours, Mrs. R. Cohen.
