Property owners who are interested in
the advancement of the city were no
doubt a little disappointed that the
Street and. Water Commissioners did not
adopt the specifications for a new supply
of water, as prepared by Mayor Wanser,

proceeding to sail along on a smoother
sea this time. Httches will no doubt be
obviated by consultation and agreements
with the Finance Commissioners before
any decisive step is taken. 1t is antici-
pated by the Commissioners that a favor

weeks after bids are received. The Off

supply will be accepted. the problem VIII
