Session of the City Council of the Ci-
ty of New Ulm, held subject to the
call of the President April 18th A. D.
1883.
All members present except Schmu-
cker and Frank; President Rudolph in
the chair. The executive Committee of
the Citizen Well Subscribers appeared
in the persons of M. Mullen and G., w.
H. Heidemann before the Council and
offered the following proposition
That the Council and the executive
Well Committee each for itself choose
one member of its own body respective
ly, the two to act as Committee with
authority to collect all advisable infor-
nation as to the necessary appliances,
and the cost that may be required to
make the well useful to the City.
No action was taken by the Council.
Mr.. Heideman, one of the we'll COM
mittee, stated, that said committee had
fulfilled its part of the agreement of
May Goth last, and that he was here to
demand an answer as to whether the
council was ready and willing to carry
out their part in behalf of the city, or
whether it was the sense of the council
to repudiate.
Councillor Doehne, in taking the floor,
admitted that several tests of said we'll
were made in the presence of the coun-
Gil and the mayor. that to their satisfac-
ton it was proven, that even with the
then insufficient appliances, one thous-
and barrels of water could be drawn
from said we'll in twenty-four hours,
and that he and the other members of
the council, as well as the mayor ex-
pressed themselves highly satisfied with
the result, and that they thereupon ab-
stained from any further tests, but that
since said tests were made he for HIM
self had viewed the matter from anoth-
er standpoint and could not answer to
the above request or demand of the
committee.
In consequence of this last remark it
was moved and carried that the whole
matter be referred to the board of pub
lie works, and so it was referred. Re-
solved: that the City Attorney be re-
quested to examine the agreement
made and accepted by and between the
well committee and and the City Coun-
Gil as entered on records in the clerks
Office, and at an early day submit to
the council his opinion as to whether
the agreement and its acceptance by
the council is binding on the part of the
city or not
The council thereupon adjourned,
Attest: JOHN G. RUDOLPH,
LOUIS SCHILLING, Pres. of Council.
