Bacon. his successors and assigns, d
franchise TO lay water pipes on certain
streets and alleys for the purpose of
erecting and maintaining a bathing re-
sort. a Sanitarium or BOTH where the
hot mineral waters Of the springs in the
north part of the city may be nsed, was
taken up and read the first time.
Beardsley then asked If the granting of
no frur TT-nr of 12 looc of
hot springs, as made by the city, and the
city attorney was instructed TO render a
decision instanter. A recess of seven
minutes was taken while the attorney
considered the matter, and at the expira-
ton of that time he stated that there Was
nothing in the lease which in his opinion
would prevent the granting of such a
franchise.
A WASTE WATER CONTROVERSY.
The ordinance was then read second
and third time. During the third read
ing 3 controversy arose as to where the
waste water should be discharged from
the resort. The ordinance provides that
il shall be connected with the public
sewer on Third South street.
POLAND moved that the ordinance be
amended to read that the discharge pipe
shall connect with the Eighth West street
canal Lost.
Rich was opposed to allowing a connec-
ton with The sewer or the grounds that
existing ordinances prevented it. and that
The sewer pump was inadequate to
handle it
The city engineer was called on for an
opinion and stated that there was nothing
in the ordinances TO prevent the sewer
connection as provided for In the ordi-
nance. he was also of the opinion that
the mineral water would have no deleter-
ious effect on the sewer pipes.
After wasting something over two
hours on amendments IL was at last moved
and carried that Mr.. Bacon be allowed TO
speak and he did so in relation to an
amendment providing for a S25, 600 for
fixture bond. He stated that it was an
unheard Of demand. and that he would
not accept the franchise if the bond was
insisted upon, as II would tend to compel
him to operate the sanitarium even
though he did so at a loss.
The sanitarium is 10 be erected where
the Palace stables now stand on Third
South street, and will cost $50, 900. As
stated in the ordinance, the water will be
plped IN from the Hot springs and it is
the intention OF Mr.. Bacon to erect one
OF the finest resorts in the west.
The vote by which the amendment re-
iating to the sos, 600 bond was inserted
was then reconsidered and adjournment
was taken without further action.
