The Bailiff asked Council to equip
him with revolver and nippers..
A motion by Mr.. Michael to arm the
officers with nippers was carried.
The old graveyard committee report
ed that Joseph Knode had repaired
his pavement, and that Adam Lam
inert had attempted to repair his, but
haa ma lie it worse.
The Mayor instructed the Balliff to
notify Mr.. Lammert that revolutions
do not go backward" and that he must
repair his pavement properly.
The Water Board submitted the fol-
lowing report
FRosTBURG, MD. Sept s. 1890.
To the Mayor and Council of Frostbu,y:
The Water Board has two requests to make
of your honorable body, which it hopes will
be complied with.
LIST, That the Council will place upon its
minutes n resolution authorizing the Board
to lay pipes in the streets and alleys of the
town, and to connect the tire-plugs with
the new system, which are now attached to
the old. At the request of the Board the
Clerk kindly made a thorough search of the
minutes and papers of Council, and he found
that contract had never been made with the
Water Company for any term of years. The
Board also consulted former Mayors and
Councilmen and this fact was corroborated.
Placing the matter on your minutes may
avoid an injunction with which the Board is
constantly threatened.
2, The Boart. will need a further issue of
$4,000 more of the bonds before the next
regular session of Council. The first sale
netted $4,000 of this s3,630.74 has been ex-
pended. On the 10th of this month about
5000 will be due the firm from which the
pipe was purchased, being two-thrds of the
value of the pipe delivered. AT the rate the
pipe is being shipped, the entire contract of
the pipe will soon be filled and payment re-
quired. This will take something over
$4,000 of the money. Before your next
regular session the masonry at the reservoir
will be completed and the excavation nearly
so. In about ten days large force will be
put to work laying the pipe, and the laborers
must be paid in cash. So that our total ex-
penses before October LIST will be over $50 900.
