Landlord Objects to Guaranteeing His Tenant's Water BiU J. B.

They refused to ac cept the check and would accept nothing unless It covered all the water which these tenants might use. "Now, the 'water bill on one tenant was IIS last month, owing to a leak which ho could not prevent. I am willing to share the loss because of this leakage, but I do not 'believe I ought to have to pay for something I am in no way responsible for." Robinson says he may go Into tho courts to question the Water board's power to compel him to guaranty the water rent of all his tenants.
