ness.

Missoula, May 14-Aldermen Stevens,
Reilly and Bonner. members of the
committee on water, to-day carried
out the instructions received at the
last meeting of the city council, and In
company with Chief Mentrum of the
fire department. made a personal in
spection of the fire hydrants of the city
TO ascertain whether or not any OF
them can be dispensed with, either be-
cause they are not needed or because
they are not serviceable. AS result
OF the inspection the aldermen decided
to urge that the council condemn five
hydrants, for which the city is now
paying rent and which, for one reason
or another, are not serviceable. The
hydrants which were condemned on
account of teh small mains with which
they are connected are located as fol-
lows: At the south end of the big
bridge in front of DIR. Grains residence,
near Dan Cavanah's store and across
the Northern Pacific tracks. Another
hydrant at he corner of Main and Pat
tee streets, was found to be unavail-
able for fire purposes. as IL is con-
nected with a stand pipe which is used
for filling the street sprinkling wagon.
1t was found that the, hydrant which Is
near the Catholic buildings is in bad
condition, being full of mud and sand
most of the time. and the hydrant at
the corner OF Spruce and Pattee streets
was discovered to be burst lengthwise.
probably by force. These two hydrants
will be repaired at once. 1t was found
that all other hydrants are in good
condition and are needed for the pro-
lection of the city. During Mayor Nc
Laughlin's administration five hy-
drants were condemned and the report
of the present water committee Will
reduce the number by five more.
1t Is not because these hydrants are
not desirable as a means of protection
against fire that they are condemned.
but because, In case of fire they would
be useless on account of the small sup
ply of water which they receive. the
street pipes being I'm most of these
cases, only two-inch mains.

The Reform Wave Has Hit Missoula and
Has Hit Her Hard.

Missoula, May 14.--The city council
started in to reform, and tonight IL re-
formed with vengeance, adopting meas
ures which will result in saving the
city 81 500 per annum. Seven hydrants
were condemned by the water commit
tee, and the council ordered them dis
continued and the electric light COM
mittee was instructed to cut off IL
electric lights, reducing the number to
20. This latter proposition meets with
serious opposition. and there are grave
doubts as to whether IL is practicable
or not. 1t Is feared that such action
may defeat the plans OF the Electric
Light company for building a dam
across the river for power. President
Byllesby is now in the East, and IL is
understood that everything is favorable
for the building of the dam. The ac-
ton of the council, IL carried out, may
result disastrously. There is a differ
ence between economy and parsimony
The official bond of City Marshal An

retiring city marshal presented his re-
port for the time since the last month

convictions. Since 1889 the department
has made 3,517 arrests. The ways and
means committee reported estimates
upon the finances of the city for the
current year: Expenses, $36,377; reve-
nue., $27,934 deficit, sS,443. The or
dinance requiring railways to maintain
electric lights at all crossings was read
a second time and referred to the or
dinance committee. and the reform
wave sweeps on.
