He:- !-. ther.6. were certain things being done- -soparately. that could be ddffe on. -a ,combined basis for an overall savings. If the Wat er Dept. had surplus funds and the General Fund wa'-s' he could see n6 reason why"Water. Funds. should not be used for other purposes.

Walter Service,Co. Acting Mayor Gustafson did believe any. rate reduction had, been promised at that time.
