DirectorBrooksrequestedheabstainfromvoting.ImovethattheAssociateEngineerSalarybeadjustedto 342 April 11, 1960 In my recent tour of the facilities of this district, I was pleasantly surprised with the efficiency and magnitude of this operation. This is even more remarkable when it is realized that this has been accomplished by means of revenue bonds only and not one cent of taxation. Our water rates without taxation are proportionately lower than most con~nunities in this area, and in time it is my ambition to lower these rates. The sewer rates will be adjusted and reduced jus~ as soon as possible. This conceivably could happen within a year, Most people are comparing our sewer rates with various city rates not considering that most cities are also deriving income from taxes on such facilities. I feel that the people of this District could and should attend more of these meetings and it is my fervent hope that the press will be present at all times, to report our progress, our errors or trials and tribulations. In this way this can truly be a District representative of all the people of the East San Bernardino County Water D~strict." Signed G. 3.
