Mr.. Ingles on the part of the Com

tive, to the subject, and asked leave to

Mr.. Ingle urged the Importance of
| taking hold of the matter at once, and
securing Water-Works at the earliest
period of time. ,uffe stated that in
order to be ready to vote for tax to
build the Evansville and Nashville
Railroad 1T was highly important that
this publica Improvement should be
pushed forward and got out of the
Mr. Muhlhsausen said that the Com.
mittee on Finance had not, as yet,
what report that committee had to
make. He did not regard it the best
policy s to build temporary water
works. He had understood that per-
manent water works could be con-
structed for $240, 1000, and, if that was
so, he thought it the best policy to
contract for the construction Of per-
manent works.
Mr.. Baker thought shat the prop
osed works would serve the wants of
the city for ten years yet-to come, and
that she people Would then be prepared
to make more extensive works If
needed; that the engine would not do
tor the main cue. but It would serve
as an auxiliary, which would have TO
be, puFchasellanyhow.
b Dir Cook moved that the Commit
ties. on Finance be allowed further
time, and that as soou as the amount
sneee ssary was secured. the gentlemen
whoo propose to. construct the works
be invited at once to visit the city and
meet with the City Council for con-.
ference, which motion was agreed to-
