Port Townsend City Attorney Mt. :taker Block, City Dear GGlenn, It has again come to my attention recently that a number of cities in the state of washingtr make a practice of reffering to their local Credit Bureaus, small accounts which become delinquent and are not of sufficient size to warrant action by the City Attorney or other I civic official. These accounts apparently consist of some water bills, garbage bills and other miscellaneous legal charges, and i would like to herewith solicit any such accounts which may be on the books of the City of Port Townsend at the present time, even though persons owing the balances may have removed from this area. In my opinion, we can recover at leat a fair percentage of these legitimate charges and perhaps realize some profit besides recovering for the city sane much needed revenue. I would appreciate it if you would advise me if there are any such accounts which might be referred to me and if so, i • :could he happy to discuss the matter with you personally or with City officials upon your suggestion. Respectfully ours, Merle C. Hufford Jefferson Credit Service • City Attorney Abraham commented that he asked the clerk to include the above letter in the correspondence for one reason mainly, that he was not interested in the local accounts but we have caa s of people rrho skin out and it is not financialy feasible to have the City Attorney .to va New yo9K or somplace to recover t gee dollars on a water bill and he was sure that it i within the authority of the office of the City Attorney to forward thoes thin to another attorney or to a collection agency. He had never forwarded anything but was going to start for there was being quite a few bills being skipped and would probably have more. he thought that the Council should be informed. Street Superintendent Arey said the water bills -.sere a state law anyone who skipped thier ,,rater bill for two or three months they shut the crater off and the next customer paid for the bill before they turned the water on.
