WATER COMPANY NEGOTIATIONS.
Mr.. Rees moved that a committee OF
three members of this council, together
with citizen of each ward and the
mayor. be appointed to confer with the
CITY Water company, with view to the
purchase of all its reservoirs, condults,
pipe lines and aqueducts, to be paid tor
in bonds to be hereafter issued by the
city.
A warm debate now ensued. Mr..
InneE thought the motion was prema-
ture. He thought the motion was all
right enough in its character, but the
city was hardly ready for it. The elee-
tion for the issuance OF bonds was barely
over and the people were not yet pre-
pared to consider the proposition at
length.

pensing with the "citizen from each
ward' and enlarging the committee IRON
three councilmen. to include each mem
Der of the council and the mayor. The
amendment prevailed and the motion az
amended was adopted.
