bridges built across the Y-street canal,
connecting the country and the city. Mr..
Devine said the county had not paid its

sprinkling purposes. AS the city will
continue to grant the privilege, the
county should pay its share of the extra

lowed.

protest, as the canal should be filled up
altogether.
