opposed to paying an sum for the customers of this ct and SL
pp P Y g Y �Y.
the Manager was instructed to advise the Sothern Pacific Co. to

Manager Edmunds reported that two of the District's customers,
L J Baxter of Lake Ave., Gateway and F M Horne, former representativE
of the Associated Oil Co. had paid their rills under protest and in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the District witten
notices had been mailed to each of them, notifying them that thte
Board of Directors were meeting on Tuesday, April llth and would
'be pleased to investigate their protest. Neither of these parties
appeared at this meeting, but Chairman Loynd stated that Mr.
Baxter had called him on the phone and endeavored'to explain
his protest to him, wherein he felt that a double mlinimum charge
for water for the month of March was exhorbitant because of the
fact that his apartment connected with his house meter had only
been occupied one week during that month. While the rules and
regulations of the District provide for a minimum phaYrgdefor a month
or any fraction thereof, the Board members felt that there may
be some extenuating circumstance under which Mr. Baxter may not
have been fully acquainted in the matter and it was therefore
moved and carried that an adjustment of $1.00 in his water bill
for the month of March would r-e in order and that he be so ad-
vised.
In the matter of the protest of Mr. Horne, be not reing present,
the matter was laid on the table.
No further I-usiness a -fearing, hoard adjourned.
