WATER WORKS.
First Meeting of the Commission Appoint
ed to Make the Valuation.

ed to Make the Valuation.
The board of investigation or inquiry
provided under the act of the late legis-
lature, for the purchase of the water
works of its present owners, by the city,
consisting of Gen. H. H. Sibley, P. H.
Kelly, George L. Otis, Joseph P. Frizen,
and John P. Ludden, under appointment
of the district court, held its first meet
ing at the Office of Gen. Sibley yesterday
forenoon. After subscribing to
the oath of Office the board
proceeded to organize by electing Gen
Sibley president, and John Fl. Ludden
secretary. The board then took up and
considered the first section of the act in
question, in which it's duties are defined
in substance, to be: First, to ascertain
the cost Of the present system of water
works. Second, whether, and if so, what
change in the present system is desirable.
Third, the present and prospective water
supply of the present system.
Fourth, the . most feasible mode
of supplying with water those
portions of the city not accessible by the
present system. And, fifth, and whether
or not, in the opinion of the board, under
the facts developed by investigation of
the foregoing points, it is desirable for
the city to purchase the present works at
this time, and assume the control and
management of the water supply for the
city in the future.
Having thus ascertained its duties,
the board, as a preliminary,
adopted resolution calling upon
the officers of the present water works
company for statement of the cost Of
its present system, the area of water sup
ply as at present constructed, plans or
projects, if any, for supplying the pros
pective demand accessible to the present
system, and also for supplying that por-
tion of the city not accessible by the
present system, the estimated cost of such
contemplated enlargement, etc.
The secretary was instructed to notify
the council the board was organized,
when an adjournment was taken subject
to the call Of the president, which will
be Immediately upon receipt of the
answer from the Water company to the
interrogatorIes in the resolution as above.

Naughty People.

The usual crowd of scurvy looking old
timers assembled at the police court matt
nee yesterday morning, particular Inter-
est seeming to center in the case of the
city against Emma Gibson, charged with
keeping house of assignation, half
grown girl named Annie Benford and a
bifurcated creature named George Cass,
charged with being inmates of the house.
The parties were arrested at Mrs. Glib
sons rooms on Jackson street Wednesday
night under circumstances that contrib
uted greatly to substantiate the charge of
lewdness. The city produced several
officers who testified that the place was
nightly resorted to by young girls, street
walkers and pantaleon harlots. The de-
fendant, Gibson, denied the charge in
toto. Cass, who gave the wrong name,
but whose unblushing shame should be
published, didn't have much to say, and
his Srazen young champion was equally
reticent. Gibson was fined S75 or ninety
days and the others were sentenced to
thirty days each. Gibson paid her fine
and it is to be regretted that the sentence
OF the man Cass was suspended.
