G~REENvlLLE MATTERS CONSIDERED.
The Rocky Question Not Talked of, So
lis Said.

The Rocky Question Not Talked OF, So
'Tfs Said.
The conference between the Street and
Water Commissioners and Finance Com
m%issiouers Detwiller and Simpson yester-
day afternoon was a short one. Commits
sioner .Yoe and President Madden said,
after the conference concluded. that
syenite was not discussed and that the
subject of acquiring a Jew water supply
WAS not mentioned. The Commissioners
claim hat only G~reenvilIe proposed i'm
p~rovenents were discussed. However,
this goes for what it is worth. Syeuite
has given the officials somewhat Of a
shaking up of late, and the Street and
Water Commissioners are having d
rather hard task in getting around
Mayor Wanser's out and out declaration
that syenite Is nothing more or less than
trap rock His HONOR still adheres to his
belief that syenite is Of a pinKish hue.
aud he will probably refrain from at
tachipg his signature to contracts or
warrants until rock of II pinkish u is
furnished. Relative TO a conference on
the water question His Honor is rather
| inclined to consider it useless. The city
| can't get money now on its bonds, which
| is, OF course. due to the panicky condi.
ton Of the money market, without max,
ing an effort to make a seven million
dollar contract at this time.
