The city council committee to whom was
referred the proposition of Geo. A. Bracket
for sprinkling the streets of the entire city
held meeting last evening to take final &C.

was to the fact that the city would give him
the water for ten years and the exclusive
right to use it for sprinkling purposes, he
would guarantee to sprinkle all the streets
of the city and collect pay therefore from
the owners of abutting property. Aid. Gibson
moved an amendment to the effect that the
price charged for sprinkling be not in excess

the committee voted in favor of awarding
the contract to Mr.. Bracket, and sub-com-
nittee was appointed to draw up contract
and submit it to the next meeting of the city
council.
