Our point of consid- ering the event ob a@ pump repair or | not report, and the we are putting forward is that we are not only paying an. increased ‘rate for fire insurance but also an increased charge for a deficient water system. Simply stated we feel that the water frontage tax devoted to the redemption of a new bylaw as originally proposed by Associated Engineers would result in an ultimate reduction in our insurance rates on comple- tion of their current water sy- stem construction. Thus we do not feel that our “basic recom- mendation should be altered.” I should like to challenge the figure of 55-cents per $1,000. What !s important is the increase in rate during the last three years.
