MAYORS MESSAGES.
The following messages from the
Mayor were received:
To the Honorable Board OF trustees:
/ hereby nominate, and by and with
your consent appoint Nelson Champ-
lin to act as a special policeman at
the City Plaza and vicinity. Respect
fully submitted,
C. H. HUBBARD, Mayor.
To the Honorable Board of Trustees:
By request of your honorable board,
would recommend that the position or
special policeman for the Trustees
room and other city offices at Fourth
and streets be created
If such position is created, l would
nominate and by and with your con-
sent appoint, DR.. J. S. Curtis as spe-
cial policeman for said location. Re-
spectfully submitted,
c. H. HUBBARD, Mayor.
To the Honorable Board of Trustees:
I desire to call your attention to
matter which is becoming very serl-
Gus and which will require your earn
est consideration. Our city is being
rapidly extended to the east and
southeast and there is now great de-
mand for the extension of our water
mains to supply these portions of our
city with water. At the present time
there are many new residences in the
course of construction on G, d, E and
F streets, between Fifteenth and
Twentieth, and on S, T, L, V and w
streets, east of Twenty-first. The
owners of these new residences are
asking to be supplied with water, but
to properly supply them it will be ne
cessary for the city to curtail the use
of the city water in some other direc-
ton.
The consumption of water by ele-
vators causes a heavy drain on our
Water Works. Each elevator operat-
ing in the city consumes from 10000
to $4,000 gallons of water per day,
for which the city receives but a small
return for the expenses incurred. The
brewing companies also consume a
very large quantity Of water, which
believe could and would be avoided if
the companies were required to pay
in proportion to the amount of water
they consume.
l would therefore recommend that
the City Taper be instructed to place
water meters on all pipes supplying
elevators, breweries and other large
water consumers, and that the Water
Assessor be directed to fix a price
which shall be proportionate to the
quantity of water used. Respectfully
submitted,
c. H. HUBBARD, Mayor
To the honorable Board of Trustees
I respectfully report that, in company
with the President of your board c. E.

tai. S214.S10 80 The above amounts
agree with the books of the City Auditor
and City Treasurer. Respectfully sub
mitted, c. H. HUBBARD, Mayor.
We certify that we were present when
the cash in the treasury was counted,
and assisted in the counting of the
same, and further, that the above re-
port is correct.
CHAS. E. LEONARD,
President of the Board of Trustees.
J. FRANK BROWN,
City Attorney

chased

Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, be
not granted until next fall, and it was
