In spite of the fact that Deerâ€" field officials have, on several occaâ€" s#ons, affirmed the 15â€"cent rate which is necessary because of the ordiâ€" nance which provided for the Highâ€" land Park filtration plant, they ‘"stall" on the water payments, conâ€" tending that the rate is too high, and that it will have to be lowered. cents per hundred from Highland Park since April 1, 1980, and has months, because of the stand the Deerfileld officials areâ€"taking in reâ€" gard to the price charged their vilâ€" lage for water by Highland Park. Deerfield buys water from Highland Park, and agreed as late as April, 1982, to pay 15 cents per hundred cubic feet. This water is resold to Deerfield residents for from 35 cents to 40 cents per 100 cubic feet. © _ Highwood, which buys water from Highland Park at the same rate as Deerfield, is making money on the arrangement, and in June had a surplus in its treasury, with all water bills paid, of $7,633.38.

To discharge these bonds, therefore, it is the custom of the village authorities each year to provide for taxes to retire these bonds, and such taxes have been levied each and every year since the bond issue. The sum of $9,000 has already been collected in taxes to retire these bonds and pay the interest, and the ordinance provides for a further amount of $4,500 up to 1936. : . ; The sale of water by the village of Deerfield nets the village a profit of 133 per cent to 166 per cent. Few businesses conâ€" ducted by private individuals are operated to produce so great a rate of profit. sls : s 4 The village of Deerfield does not need to pay its bonds out of these huge profits, since the people are taxed to pay the mortâ€" gage, and yet the profit derived from the sale of water is insufâ€" fi‘cli:nt to pay the mere cost of operation, so the Deerfield officâ€" ials say. + * $ 2 ; A further circumstance is revealed from the: fact that an additional tax is levied for water supply expenses. â€" Does this mann» that tho ansl «B LL c §E 1 mm k se 36 lautag a__) [ _,_ _ OCA~2~*C@UTâ€"â€" MIC L@CL LB&L AR additional tax is levied for water supply expenses. â€"Does this mean that the cost of the distribution of the water to the citiâ€" zens of Deerfield isalnopaidbygmeraltanfion,andthattbo 1998 nar Annt nw %ka mm 222 ccht.So> W 50 mm Pomemy CexC c CEuUme CC Iouppcarl The water works of the village of Deerfield were inten ‘be paid for from the proefi:nzf the sale of bonds in â€"the a: of $10,000 voted by the ci of Deerfield in June, 1926. mewmnnk m# mLi.lells c(L0 c s 4 e n en td 0 the Village of Deerfleld, in their water situation. _ At a recent meeting of village authorities with the city authorâ€" ities of Highland Park, the president of the village of Deerfield contended that his municipality cannot pay but $1000 a year upon its pastâ€"due water bill, because of the fact that the Deerfield water works system was being paid for from the revenues deâ€" rived from the sale of water to the citizens of Deerfield.
