THE CITY WATER MAINS.
! w. Ross wanted to know when the city
mains were going to be extended so that
people living in the immediate vicinity of
Twenty-tifth and @ streets could be sup
piled with city water. He said he in
| tended purchasing lot in the block
bounded by @ and r, Twenty fourth
and Twenty-fifth streets, but first wanted
to ascertain whether or not he could get
the city water into his house, if he built
one.
Trustee Wolf said it would probably be
three or four months before the funds in
! the water works would permit of the ex-
| tension of the mains.
Trustee Mclaughlin suggested that the
property owners pay the cost of laying a
SiX-inch pipe for a distance OF two or
three blocks, and the Trustees would per-
NIT them to use water free until they
realized what they expended in extend
ing the main.
Mr.. Ross said he would consult the
property owners.
n. n. Denton stated to the board that
the residents III the eastern portion of the
city south of p street, did not think the
Trustees had established the polling
place in that precinct in the proper local
ity. 1t was now located at Twelfth and
= streets and voters living as far out as
Thirty-tirst street, south of 2, would be
compelled to come mile and over to
cast their votes.
The matter was referred to the Mayor.
with power to change the polling place if
he sees fit.
