be disregarded, it being the intention hereof that the sales price of water
by the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore to the County Commis-
sioners of Baltimore County through the connections and meters afore-
said shall be the cost of pumping the water to the points of connection
and meter, and the cost of purifying such water, and in addition, a sum
equal to five per centum of said cost of pumping and purification, with-
out any allowance for interest on investment or for amortization.
