had been a shortage OF gas last year and
the prospect is that there will be
greater scarcity this year, and that
there will not be enough to run the
water works and crematory and supply
the private needs OF the city. The gas
company has made no written state
inent, nor has it set anytime ut which
the gas will be shut oil. 1t is not posi-
BILE to serve all, and u partial service for
the water works and crematory and the
private consumers will give satisfaction
no where. The company has given this
notice verbally so that the Council
may take any action it deems expedent
to save the annoyance which will result
from u short supply.
Mr.. 0'Leary asked that the ordinance
granting the company the use OF the
streets and alleys be read and Clerk
Thoner read the ordinance through.
When the reading was finished, Mr..
0I.eary moved that the city solicitor
meet with the committee OF health to
instruct it as to its powers and duties
under the ordinance and in,the premis-
es.
In the first branch Of Mr.. Wilson
moved to add the waterworks committee
and the board Of waterworks trusteesbe
added to tho committee of health to
which the second referred the matter
which motion WIS adopted.
