APPROVED Pre s i dent 117 I~J THE COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF R0kNOKE, VIRGINIA, The 4th day of January, 1937. No. 5052. A RESOLUTION, for the information of the public, in connection with water condemnation referendum on January 9th, setting forth the policy and actions of Council with respect to present and future water needs for the City of Roamoke. The probl~n of an adequate water service has confronted the City for many years. Every reasonable opportunity has been afforded the water company to provide domestic and commercial consumers with a satisfactor~ service, at reasonable rates, and to provide fire protection in keeping with the City's needs. Frequent promises and representations by the water company to the City Council that needed improvements would be made to remedy the lack of adequate service have in many instances failed. The Company admits that extensive improvements are badly needed in order to put its distribution system in proper condition. It further admits that this ca~ be done only through increased rates, and its application for such increase in rates is now pending before the State C~rporation Commission. For more than a year, City Council has been carefully investigating and studying this problem. The press has from time to time given to the public the particulars of Council's activities in the matter. The history of the, company reveals that the absentee owners of the water works have either failed to vision the needs of this rapidly growing city, or have carelessly failed to exercise the duty owed by the Company to it. Certainly, the Water Works System does not measure up to what is reasonably'expected of a public utility having the proper regard for the interest of its customers. A~ter careful consideration of all facts, the Council reached the conclusion that the City should own and operate the. Water '~Vorks or System. However, this is not a matter Council alone can decide. The City's Charter provides that it must first be submitted to the freehold voters. For this reason C~uncil has called an election to be held on January 9, 1937, in order that the freehold voters of the City may determine whether or not the City shall proceed to condemn the water plant of the Roanoke 7~ater Works Company. The cost of water service in Roanoke to the average customer is higher than such cost in any other Virginia city. After fifty odd years of developme.~t, Council feels that water consumers in the City have for too long a time been paying excessive rates and should not longer continue to do so. The present water situation is due largely to the lack of a consistent, farsighted engineering plan, which is necessarily accompanied by a great waste of money. For a major part of the time since 1916 the earnings ~ the c~mpany have not been utilized for perfecting and acc~omplishing an adequate and permanent system of supply and distribution. Further, Council is of the opi~nion that the company's affairs are not being economically administered, and that tt~ City is being penali- zed through absolute ownership of the Company's stock. A considerable amount of the Company's revenue is paid to the Consumers Water Company, a New England corporation, for general supervision of the water company. This remote control is 118 not conducive to the best interest of the City. It cannot be expected that non- residents are as keenly alive to the needs of the community as persons who live In and move about the City daily. The capital structure of the ~Vater Company (as of December 31, 1935) was: Funded Deb~ ' 5% First Mor~age Bonds issued 1925 and due 1950..... .... $ 3,219,800.00 Notes 137 t000 ~.0.0 PayableTotal'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' $ 3,356,800,00 ~apital Stock First Preferred (Par Value $100) 6% Cumulative: Outstanding ........ $ Subscribed ......... 286,348.00 2,200.00 Second Preferred 6% Cumulative ............................. $ 432,082.00 100t000.00 820,630.00 Unquestionably, the funded debt of the Company (the amount for which its property is mortgaged) namely, $3,356,800.00, is grossly excessive when compared with Council's idea of the property's true value. In fact it is excessive when compared with the Company's claim of the property's value. There is no probability of payment of dividends on capital stock - a financial condition most vital in the matter of obtaining capital for extensions and improvements. As COuncil has here- tofore said ( Roanoke Times, May 23, 1936.) - "This is the crux of the Roanoke ~ater situation. It is not a question of rates. The financial structure is such that no ~mount of increase in rates, unless grossly excessive and therefore prohibitive, could provide enough rew~m~ to carry such an enormous debt and in additi~, pr~vide sufficient funds to take care of normal extensions and improvement-s to say nothing' of extensive improvements, such as additional fire hydra nts " The distribution system cOnsists of entirely too much small pipe. Pre s sure and flow for domestic and commercial use and for fire ~rotection are consequently inadequate where such condition exists. There is insufficient storage capacity in case of disruption of pumped water supply. 0nly a ~mall volume in Mill Mountain reservoir is available, nd this reservoir is not entirely filled at all times. The major supply from Crystal Spring depends upon pumps that are from thirty to forty-six years old. The present supply of water is ~inadequate, and there is 'urgent need for bringing into the system a much larger supply. Apparently there is no probability of improvement in water service under private ownership and operation; and if private ownership is continued, the outlook is that the service will become worse, not only to domestic consumers, but the City will .continue to be bsmpered in its efforts to sxpend industrially. It is a known fact that the water situation for several years has been a substantial deterrent to the City's industrial and commercial expansion and development. The City's finances are in excellent shape and its credit is good. For this reason it should be able to finance the project.at probably one-half the amount of the present fixed charge s. .~ Due to the existing condition of the water plant and the need for extensions and improvements, the public, in the event of Municipal ownership, should not expect an immediate decrease in rates, but, likewise, the public need not expect an increase. As the project develops, consumers may look forward in time to substan- tial decreases in rates. Municipal operation of the water plant will not cause any increase in taxes. The Council proposes to obviate the possibility of any political domination of such a civic enterprise by setting up a'~.vater plant commission and entirely divorce the management and ope:~tion of this facility from political influence. The course pursued by the Council in this important matter has seemed to be ~in the interest of the public. It can go no further without a mandate from the ~freehold voters. The election on January 9, 1937, is for the purpose of determinim~ !the attitude of the freehold voters on the question of condemnation of the Company,si~ proper ty. The referendum on January 9, 1937 does not commit the City to pay for the properly, ~:but only gives the Council authority to condemn and trove the ccurt to fix the purctm~e ~price' After such price is determined, the qualified voters will have the opportunity, ,bY another referendum, to give expression to whether or not bonds shall be issued for ~the purpose of providing funds to pay such price.

SCOPE: This ordinance shall apply to fumigation in buildings or other similar enclosed spaces, except greenhouses, mushroom houses, horticultural end farm fumigations and the control of burrowing animals outside of buildings. 2. DEFINITIONS: The term "fumigant" as used herein shall mean and include any substance which by itself or in combination with any other substance emits or liberates a gas, fume or vapor used for the destruction or control of insects, fungi vermin, germs, 'rodents or other pests, and shall be distinguished from insecticides and disinfectants which are essentially effective in the solid or liquid phases. The term "person" as used herein includes corporations and co-partnerships as well as individuals. . 3. RESTRICTIONS AS TO USE OF FUItlGANTS: No person shall use any fumigant which is dangerous, noxious or poisonous to the life or health of human beings, or which constitutesa fire hazard, without obtaining a permit from the Chief of the Fire Department. 4. PEI%IITS: There shall be two types of permits, known as the "Fumigant Permit and the "Fumigant Operator's Permit". A "Fumigant Permit" shall permit the person holding it to engage in the use of fumigants provided the fumigant is applied by the holder of a "~umigant Operator's Permit". Applications for such permits shall state the name and place of business o ~he person desiring to engage in fumigation work and the particular fumigant or fumigants to be used. A "~umigant Operator's Permit" shall permit a person to engage in the actual operation of applying a fumigant only while in the employ of a person holding a "~umigant Permit" or an "Exception Certificate". Applicants for such permits shall be required to appear in person before the authority granting the permit for such questioning as will show the training experience, qualifications, character and ., reputation of the applicant in regard to the use of fumigants and regulations · governing said use. ~,pplicants must show knowledge of the properties of the fumi- gants they wish permi~s~o use and shall be familiar with proper first-aid measurers to be used in case 'of emergencies. Permits may be refused or may be revoked after a proper hearing should the permit granting authori:y determine that such action is necessary for the protectior. of public health and safety. Apprentice Certificate: No person shall work and no employer shall engage or allow or permit such person to work as a helper or an alpprentice to a fumigant opera~or unless he is a holder of an "Apprentice Certificate". Before an apprentice 468 is engaged an application must be filed by the employer with the Chief of the Fire Department for an "Apprentice Certificate' signed by the apprentice and countersign. by said employer. No such apprentice holding such a certificate shall engage in any part of the work of fumigation except under the constant direction and super- vision of a holder of a "Fumigant Operator's Permit". Such apprentice certificate shall expire six months after date of issuance unless renewed or employment is soon- er terminated ~r the certificate is otherwise revoked by the Chief of the Fire Department. 5. EXCEF2ION CERTIFiCATE: Zxcept as provided in Section 1 -- 'Scope' -- any person engaged in the business which requires the use of fumigants in connection with its own premises or its own goods, wares and merchandise contained therein or the goods, wares and merchandise of others stored therein, may conduct fumigatioz on said premises, provided, however, that an 'Exception Certificate' has been first obtained by such person from the Chief of the Fire Department and that such-fumiga- tion shall be carried on only by the holder of a "Fumigant Operator's Permit'. An 'Exception Certificate' shall state what f,,mfgant or fumigants are to be employed. 6. NOTIFICATION OF FUMIGTION: The holder of a "~umigant Permit' or an "Exception Certificate' shall notify in writing the Fire Department of the time and place of the performance of a fumigation and of the fumigant to be used, at least twenty-four hours prior to the time set for the fumigation, which said notification shall be accompanied by a payment to the City of Roanoke of $1.00 as a charge for supervision of such performance by said Fire Department. The head of said Fire Department, or the acting head in his absence, shall prohibit any fumigation when in his judgment such action is necessary to protect public health or safety.

PRW~ISES TO B~i MACATED: Ail occupants of buildings or similar enclosed spaces shall vacate them during the period of fumigation of any part thereof, excep' that where a building or similar enclosed space is continuously occupied by persons twenty-four hours a day and the room or other enclosed portion of the structure to be fumigated is very small in comparison, making the provision of this section impracticable. Then in such event, it appears that such portion may be fumigated without danger to life or health, or without creating a fire hazard, the Chief of the ~ire Department may in his discretion grant permission to the holder of a "Fumigant Permit" to perform fumigation without requiring all persons in other part of the building or similar enclosed space to leave the same, subject to such O' conditions a restrictions as said Chief of the Fire DePartment may impose. Notic~ at least two hours in advance of such fumigation shall be given by the '~umigant Permit' holder to the occupants of the buildings or similar enclosed spaces to be fumigated by leaving same with a responsible person therein, and in the absence of such person or persons, by attaching same in a conspicious manner on the entrance door of such apartment, room or ether space occupied by a person. 8. PROMUL~TION OF REGULATION: The City Manager may promulgate from time to time such regulations as may be necessary in his judgment to insure the proper performance of fumigation and to govern the issuance and revocation of permits. 9. PENALTIES: Any person who violates this ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction be punished by a fine of not less than $25.00 nor more than ~100.00 or imprisonment not to exceed ten days, or both in the discretion of the court.
