R. P. Koenig & Co. have served
notice on the city that the fume of
the east side mill race is in poor con-
dition and needs repairing. By pur-
chasing the waterworks plant the city
acquired a third interest-formerly
held by the Globe Milling company-in
the mill race, the other owners being
r. P. Koenig & Co. and the E. Kunert
Manufacturing company. Therefore,
if the fiume now needs repairing, the
city will have to stand its share of the
expense. The matter will no doubt
be properly disposed of by the board
of water commissioners.
