| City affairs are about AS quiet in Auburn as
they are in Lewiston. Mayor Woodman has
called a meeting of the City Council for Tues
day evening. 1t is understood that the special
committee on the water works held their final
meeting, Saturday evening, and are now
ready to report and report unanimously. 1t
| is presumed that the report of Mr.. Shedd, the
hydraulic engineer who was engaged to in
vestigate and give his views on the require
ments of the city, will be the basis of the
committees report and will accompany it.
| In that case, it is supposed that the veil of
secrecy will be removed and the citizens OF
Auburn will be given that opportunity to gaze
| on il, which they have awaited with consid-
| cradle interest for several weeks. The prop
| osition is TO hold joint convention, for the
reading of the report. There is no other
business of importance on the table of the
city council. Some of the committees will
probably close up their business for the year.
