Mr.. Anthony moved that before they
received applications for the position
of Water Superintendent that the
salary be fixed at $l.75 per day of
actual service and he (the Superin-
tendenD to keep an account Of SAID
work and where done.
Mr.. Schofield requested that section
5 of the certified copy of the Act of
the Legislature Of 1892, entitled IA
Supplemental Act" etc, be read be-
fore the motion was submitted.
Which was done.
Mr.. Schofield said tie object of read.
ing the Act was to show that Council
had to elect Water Superintendent,
and he thought that if they fixed the
rate at $1.75 per day it would cost
more than the present rate of com
pensation.
Mr.. Anthony's motion was then put
and carried.
The Mayor appointed Messrs. John
son and Schofield tellers and ordered
a ballot taken on the applications of
Messrs. John G. W. Schofeld, Conrad
Knieriem and Alfred Jeffries.

John Wambach be awarded the COW

struct the new superintendent.

1t was suggested that if Council
would instruct the Bailiff to shut off
the water from parties that did not
pay their water rents, it would help
him to make his collections.
Mr.. Shuckhart moved that if within
10 days after the quarter has expired
rents be not paid, that the water be
shut off. Carried.
After Councilman Nickel had chided
Council on not having fixed rates for
water by meter R. H. Currens, of the
Austin Manufacturing company, was
given chance to explain the qualities
of their tone-crushing machine.
H. B. Shaffer said that the condition
of the street between the properties of
Henry Williams and w. A. Somer-
vile was causing a great deal of an
noyance to property-holders in the in
growing end because of the sand and
dirt that were washed down to east
Main street. He said that if it was
ditched the trouble could be remedied,
as the bitches on Main street were
ample to carry the water away if not
filled up with sand from the washings
referred to.
Mr.. Spitznos corroborated Mr..
Shaffer's statement.
Ex-Mayor Joseph Bear, also of the
ingrowing end, stated that he would
