CITY WATER CHARGES.
I have received a notice from the City
Council of Hobart for payment of
arrears of rates as between the maximum
and minimum of water consumed
Surely this is an anomaly)? I lent a
water meter, and do my best to prevent
waste, keeping the supply as low as possible,
and because I do this I am penalis-
ed send it to 4s 4d DPI you over the
value of water actually consumed It
is not very encouraging to consumers in
a time of water "utility, when request
eel to neglect their golden and to pre-
vent all waste, only to pay for then so
doing as above indicated Ifpeopleaio
compelled to pay the maximum late,
whether the water is used or not, there
is no need to allow our gardens to go to
waste, of ourselves unwashed, but to
use up to the limit we are to pay for
It would appear that any Act enforcing
[snell unfair conditions should be at once
repealed, and actual consumption only
paid for, me as a citizen I protest, and
ask our aldermen to use their match
cence in man inn a ting a more equitable
system than the one in force.

WILLIAMS, 16 Elphinstonwoad.
