Sec. 99. Collection of gas and water bills.
The Treasurer shall collect water and gas bills and shall comply
with all ordinances in relation thereto. As to water bills,
he shall notify each debtor on a postal card the amount due by
him to the city, and notice shall be printed on said card that the
amount is due and payable not later than the tenth day of the
month or quarter for which the bill is rendered. He shall supply
the Superintendent of Gas and the Superintendent of Water
with a list of delinquents on the eleventh day of each month or
quarter, as the case may be, except when such day may fall on
Sunday, then the following day; but, the furnishing of such
list of delinquents to the superintendents as aforesaid, shall not
relieve the Treasurer of the liability for the collection of said
delinquent bills. For any negligence on the part of the Treasurer
to furnish such lists, he shall be held responsible for the
amount of the bills.
