<br /> 65-194 - "The Director of Public Utilities has submitted a list of doubtful or
<br />uncollectible accounts, covering a period through June 50, 1964. Many o£ these date back five or six
<br />years, and are generally for small amounts.
<br /> It is believed that special efforts to collect these accounts womld cost
<br />more than would be realized, and it is reco~mnended that they be charged off in the following amounts:
<br />
<br />Water $ 6,806.04
<br />Sewage 3,260.65
<br />Tax 839;25
<br />
<br /> Total $'10,905.94
<br /> There has also been submitted to me a list of unclaimed deposits in which,
<br />in some cases, the parties have moved out of the State; and in other cases, the actual ownership of the
<br />deposit is doubtful. These umclaimed deposits amount to $15,919.56.
<br /> I recommend that these deposits be charged off. This will net a credit
<br />to the City of $5,015.62."
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Dillon to concur in the recommendation of the City Manager was adopted,
<br />without dissenting vote.
<br />
