Notice to Delinquent Soni... .
Of the City of Opelousas Light and Water Works.
I am making every effort to make myself understood
properly by all who owe the City of Opelousas Light di:
Water. Works.
At present we have three thousand ($3,000) dollars
on the books unpaid from subscribers who have been~i:e-1.
rented, from month to month, with statements b .t -v:,l:
I ave not yet fuond it convenient to pay.
Now without argument, I want to say and be 'under
stood by everyone that every subscriber must pgy theiri'
bill NOW or not use any more current after the tenth, of
this month. -
It is true, we have not given good service for the pa~t i
six months but that is no excuse for not paying for what.l
service they have received. :
We owe the banks, and in fact almost all kinds of
business places in Opelousas and in most places have run
over the limit of our credit. Some have refused me cre
dit for material and supplies which I must have to keep
the plant running.
But still that is not why I am saying the light and wat
er bills must be paid.
Bills must be paid because the town council ordered
me to have cut off any subscriber who fails to pay their
bills on or before the tenth of each month.1
I hope it will be unnecessary to cut anyone off from the
use of water or electricity but-Orders are orders.
"Short statments make good friends."
