ises on his visits this month and this committee reports that results have already
been obtained as about $100.00 of these arrears have so far been taken in,wi th
definite promises of more in the near future.•On March 6th.l933 a resolution was pa
'' i
ssed in council that all arrears must be collected.Not wishing to place too much '
of a hardship on anyone,.it was ruled th•t the monthly consumption bill must be paid
along with an equal amount by those in arrears less than $5o.oo.on arrears above
this l amount a minimum &f $5.00must be paid along with the monthly consumption bill.j
This council now finds that this rule has not been adhered to as closely as it
should have been,with the consequence that we are faced with arrears which are
increasing instead of diminishing.Therefore it is feund necessary to warn those
who h&ve fallen down on their payments that they are faced with the possibility of
I .
being aut off unless they innnediately arrange to bring their arrears to a point
which meets with the ruling o'f the above resolution.The Hydro Commission send in
their bill each month,this has to be promptly paid,with the result this town is
out aetual eash to the amount of Jrears.It is not right that those who will pay
should have to pay again :for thos.e who will not~Anyone in arreras who l).as made an
honest effort to meet the terms of the above will have nothing to fear~but those
who have deliberately allowed their arrears to increase will have to be aut off
without further warning.•The report was adopted on motion of Messrs.Thompeon and
Southwood•
