Said interest shall be in addition to such penalties as may be hereafter provided for delinquent taxes. No discount for payment of taxes prior to such taxes becoming delinquent shall be allowed. SECTION 4. That in addition to all other taxes, there is hereby levied a tax in the nature of a street rental fee, as provided by Article 1175, Sec. 12, V.A.C.S., Texas, against all persons, firms or corporations having any pipes, mains, conductors or other facilities in any public ways, streets, alleys, utility easements, or water within the City limits of the City of Corpus Christi as part of a public utility system.
