ject of water works and sewerage
The members indulge in a great many
very uncomplimentary remarks rela
tive to the motives which influences
each other In their action on these
questions. We are sorry to learn
from the discussion that the Council
has in it so many men without
brains." The discussions On Monday
night last were greatly complicated
by writ from the Circuit Court,
granting a temporary Injunction
against the city entering into any coz
tract for the construction of certain
sewer in the south payt of the city.
This was fre-brand from an unex-
pected direction, and kindled a FIRE
particularly hot IN a very few min

ness will be, we think, no sewers or
water works for this year, and the
whole subject will come before the
people for final settlement at the next
CITY election.
