Tenth Wards, represented that in the
month If February, 1888, the people OF
those wards held a mass meeting and
decided to take the necessary steps to
protect their vested rights in the waters
of Emigration Greek; they, therefore,
desired to call the attention of the
Council to the fact that whereas by con-
sent Of the people of these wards the
city had diverted portion of the Emu
grafton water from the creek, in ex-
change for the use of water from the
salt Lake and Jordan Canal, they re-
quested that the Council have made an

vested rights il said Emigration Greek

ting2
THE REcoRDEB One hundred dollars
per month.
Mr.. DooLY-Are any improvements
being made?
THE RECoRDER-No.
Mr. RITER-I understand that during
my absence last winter, $40, 600 was ap-
propriated to make improvements at
this place. l would like to ask whether
anything has been done in the matter?
THE MAYOR Yes, I have obtained
plans and estimates
Mr.. MCCoRNIcK-If $4,000 is not
high enough, why not advertise for a
bigger bid7 The city has no more right
to go into the bathing business, than it
has to run livery stable.
THE MAYOR Il do not like the idea
of any private corporation buying
these springs aud thus creating a
that would lnfict hardship
upon our citiz rs.
Mr.. MCCoRSICK-The city needs
and ought to sell these springs
at reasonable figure
The MAYoR-The way look at the
matter, $3.50 000 would not bs too high
q figure.
Mr. RoBFRTs-I move that we accept
the bid made by the mayor.
There was a little more desultory
whsn the petition was re-
ferred to the committee on public
grounds.

would necessarily come within the military |
-eseIYation, and to obtain right or title to |
ocate on the government land will cause |
ielay and possible refusal. The strongest |
objection, l would respectfully suggest to |
his location, is the elevation. 1t would |
give a pressure running from I75 to |
10 pounds, a pressure altogether to strorg |
% be economical IN distribution, and too |
,training on the service pipes and mains.
