pons thereof as said bonds and coupons may severally mature as herein-
before provided; the owner or owners of said abutting real estate being
assessed in proportion to the number of assessable front feet owned, pro-
vided that when corner property fronts or abuts on two streets containing
sewer and water mains, the abutting front feet shall be computed for the
purpose of assessment hereunder as one-half of the total number of front
feet on both streets. The amount assessed against any piece of property
each year shall be and constitute a lien thereon, and the amount thereof
shall be collected by the Mayor and Common Council in the same manner
as town taxes are collected. In case the assessment hereunder cannot be
made by the Mayor and Common Council of Mount Rainier in time to
be levied with other taxes in the year 1916, it shall be levied by the Mayor
and Common Council of Mount Rainier as soon as possible thereafter in
said year, and in each and every year thereafter it shall be levied at the
same time as are other taxes, and included in the tax bills of the owners
of real property in said town. In case the revenue derived in any year
from the charges made for furnishing water to the residents of said town
shall exceed the expenses, or the cost of maintenance of the sewerage or
water system, the Mayor and Common Council shall have power in their
discretion to apply such excess in the succeeding year to the payment of
said bonds and coupons, and thereby reduce the amount to be levied per
front foot against the abutting real estate. In case the amount realized
from the front foot assessment herein provided for shall not be sufficient
to pay the whole of the principal or interest of said bonded indebtedness,
at any time due, it shall be the duty of the Mayor and Common Council
of Mount Rainier to pay the balance of said principal or interest so due
out of the general funds of the town.

799. The Mayor and Common Council of Mount Rainier shall have
full power and authority to fix by ordinance schedules of rates for fur-
nishing water to private residences and other buildings, and to persons
residing in the town of Mount Rainier, provided said rates shall not be
discriminatory, and said Mayor and Common Council of Mount Rainier
shall have power if in their judgment they may deem it best to sell water
or sewer facilities upon such terms as they may prescribe to persons, firms
or corporations outside of the town of Mount Rainier desiring to connect
with the water and sewer connections of said town. The income from all
of such sources shall be applied by the Mayor and Common Council of
Mount Rainier to the maintenance of such system and the charges made
for such water facilities shall be collectible as taxes are collectible. The
Mayor and Common Council of Mount Rainier shall have full power to
provide by ordinance for the collection of such water rents, and for the
disconnecting of any parties not paying for the same in case the amount
owing by them shall be two months' overdue.
