I presume that the expression "Annual Rating Valuation" means the annual rate, payable with respect to the building, and not the absolute, or selling value of the building. This point is, however, obscure.

Assuming, however, that the Annual Valuation is meant, take the case of a building, the assessed annual valuation or rental of which is $1,000.

Then this tenement would be entitled to use, quarterly, free of further charge a quantity of water calculated as follows:- One-half per cent on $1,000 = $5 at $0.40 per thousand gallons, represents 12,500 gallons.

Therefore, a building, valued at $1,000 per annum, would be entitled to receive, free of further charge, 12,500 gallons per quarter, 50,000 gallons per annum, or 187 gallons per day.

The price to be paid for water used, in excess of this allowance, is not prescribed in any clause of the Ordinance; unless indeed Section (1) of 24, which fixes a maximum price of $1.00 per 1,000, refers to this point.
