EMERSON C. HARRINGTON, GOVERNOR. 155

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 dis-
cretion to apply such excess in the succeeding year to the pay-
ment 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

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 mainte-

overdue.

SEC. 9. And be it further enacted, That if any portion of
the moneys collected by the Mayor and Common Council of
Mount Rainier under the provisions of this Act shall be di-

is directed to be used herein, the person or persons diverting
said funds or suffering said funds to be diverted shall he
