AT supper everything was saturated

All the members OF the Board were
present at the meeting yesterday, Mr..
Dannenhold in the chair.
The weekly payroll to the amount of
$2,509 10 was ordered paid. The claim
for $25 of Messrs. Niehaus & Co., for re-
pairing wagons, was rejected.
The report of the Superintendent was
received, read and filed. He says: Nu-
merous complaints are being made daily
at this office by the residents ON Mount
Auburn and vicinity, also on Walnut
Hills, owing to the parties claiming that
they are excessively charged for water
that they do not get. The Superintend-
ent claims that the parties complaining
all have water connections with their
houses; therefore he can not recommend
any reduction In the water rates.
A bill OF prices for lawns will be re-
ported at the next meeting. A number
of coal bills were ordered paid.
