was presented petition from Arthur
Brown and twenty seven others, ask
ing the Council to have Ninth North
Street graded and bridges put over
Seventh and Eighth West Streets cana's
on Ninth North Street. AS the chances
are that it will be sometime before the

not?
Some lively discussion followed,
when the question was hnahV referred
to the superintendent of Waterworks,
with inst. uoiions to report to the
Council who of the protesters had
private pipes, and who had not.
In the case of Henry Moore and

able to Cefer the matter for the present
THE WATER QUESTION AGAIN.
A favorable report on the extension
of the water mains to certain portions
of tn, dry bench, called up the old
question as to whether the Council had
not better make haste slowly in giving
away something they never owned.
MR. RITTER thought we should not
aggravate situation already Dad. PEG
uIe on the dry bench were now asing
the water illegally.
Mr.. PIPER thought it had been
understood that these people should
have water for culinary purposes.
| Why, tnen, should howl now be ralsed
against their using it
MR.. RITER-T. en- we had no canyon
creek:
Mr.. PIPER thought the extensions
were necessary. Similar requests had
been gran ed in the past. and he saw no
reason why these petitioners were not
as Justly entitled to water for culinary
purposes as those who were already
| supplied,
Mr., MCCORMICK wanted it distinctly
understood that he would not vote 10
extend the dry bench mains another
foot to people who had no water rights.
He thought such action was all wrong,
and hoped the molten now before the
house to extend would not prevail.
Mr., YOU'VE thought it high time that
something should be done looking to
way out Of the dilemma, If the gentle
man who are anxious to extend the
mains anywhere and everywhere asked
were anxious and willing to say good
by to their shrubs, lawns aud other
greenery, all right. This, aoWeVer, Is
lust what such action means. For our
selves we may be able to say this, but
we have no right to say 1t Tor others
We have no light to give to the
dry benchers or anybody, water
that belongs to someone, else.
The iCea has been advanced that but
little water was necessary for culinary
purposes, but the idea was all wrong:
1t had been his experience that be had
used more water inside MS house than
on his lawns.
Mr.. PYPER-The same question we
are now discussing agltated the Council
month after month, and We thought we
had solved it by putting in the upper
system of water works What diu We
spend $50 600 tor?
ME- KIrER-But the conditions are
now changed, Judge. We did not have
Canyon Greek then
MIR. pYPgR-Exactly; now we have
more mater We say TO them they shall
have none.
Mr.. YoUNe-It seems to me that il
these peop.e could get water. from
Parlev's Canyon Greek, that is the
proper place. 1t should come from

cilor Young if he thinks we have right
