All the reductions were adopted on re-
port from committee except that of the

cliff wanted raised TO $50. Then, on final
vote, the ordinance failed of adoption for
lack ofone vote, curtiss, Baker and Looney

at the next meeting. John Kean, the treas
urer, made an appeal for fair compensation,
saying that the city could not expect TO get
honest men 10 handle its money for q
small salary and referring TO Krug to

ia 600 gallons in fventy-foar Aours, the
stream rising seventeen feet above high
water line IN the bay. There - far more
than enough 10 supply The power house
There Is every reason 20 believe that this
well and the various others which have
been drilled in the part Of the city fronting
on the barber are fed By an underground
stream flowing from Lake Washington
through Stratum Of gravel and Sand.
Both the Union Electric Company's well
and that in the New York block struck
water in such = stratum and, though the
latter q ABOUT 4T0 feet deep against the
formers Ia feet. the water IN both rises 10
about the same level, which is little differ
ent from that Of the surface OF Lake WASH
ingson. In the electric company's well it
rises seventeen feet above high tide, and
in the New York block it only reaches
within forty-tve feet of the surface, hat
this difference is accounted for by the dit
ference IN elevation OF the surface of the
ground. In both wells tia waser-bearing
stratum of gravel and sand il oyerlaid by
about forty feet Of clay.
