The Finance Committee presented IN
ordinance scaling down the contingent
fund of the 3. =. W., SO us to meet the
deficiencies found in the paving appro-

The Water Works Committee reported
resolution authorizing the Board OF
Water Works Commissioners to borrow
$1,000 il necessary, for the purpose OF
laying new main on MarkGtstreet, and
to pay the same back out OF the revenues
of 1889. This was adopted after the
Boards plan had been setforth in q COM
munication from it. The present main
is an S-inch one and has been tapped so
frequently that it is not large enough to
afford the service desired. A new one
must be put down in the near future
and as the street is to be paved with
brick it should be done now. 1t is pro-
posed to put in l6-inch main from
Eleventh to Sixteenth streets and a g.
inch main from Sixteenth street to the
creek; this will give about four times
the present supply, With the provisions
being made forn reservoirs, the Board
is liable to be embarrassed for funds and
so desired permission to borrow.
The petition from business men along
Main street hill, asking that it be paved
with fire brick, as the balance OF the
street has been, was referred to the
Board OF Public Works.
