Devine, OF the Street Committee, re-
ported III favor OF putting in twenty
hydrants instead of six in the Plaza al
Fifteenth and p streets, and laying pipes
now SO that the park can be fertiliZed and
sown to grass without being disturbed
afterward. lie moved that not TO exceed
$40 be appropriated tor the purpose OF
laying the pipes.
Lawton and Bragg were in doubt
whether there would lie money 10 spare
at present for the purpose, and unless
there was they did not want 10 vote Tor
the motion.
Davis said that number of citizens
had been asking TO have water mains
! laid, as they are without water for their
houses. de thought it would be better TO
| give them the mains, which would be
| bringing Ill an income.
| Leonard agreed with Davis, aud the
motion was lost.
Bragg reported that the City Collector
would have to work nights i'll his Office,
| and needed lights.

ginC-nOuses.

fered last year. He moved that the Clerk

Davis said be would not vote to buy
any sprinkiers not made III this city, and
moved that the bids be confined TO the
| NInkler sprinkler, as the SIudebakeI

in having political sprinlilers. He die
not advocate anything Of the sort. nt

| tract, by horse teams.
Kent agreed with Pennish. He did no
favor giving Winkler monopoly. HI
! thought the StudeDaker sprinkler little
the best. There should be fair competi

enter into it. He moved as a substitute
that the Clerk advertise for sprlnklinG
wagons, from speci tications made from
the present wagon owned By the city
and that five sprlnlklers have springs
