ADJUSTED AT THE COUNCIL MEETING
SATURDAY EVENING.

A special meeting of the city council
was held Saturday evening for the pur-
pose of adjusting the damages on Mar

exception of Aldermen Mcfarland and
Durkee. Rodney McCleary was pres
ent and put up another kick about the
condition of the Chamberlain estate.
William Lane was present and asked
permission to place gasolene engine
in his stone sheds ON Burnham's meadow.
The council questioned whether it w ould
be safe to keep gasolene in tanks around
the sheds, and after little explanation
on the part of Mr.. Lane the license
committee were ordered to look over
the property before granting the permit.
b. Thomas was given permission to
fence in the sidewalk on the north side
OF Seminary street George w. Mann

The Favorites Brought BACK.

Quite peculiar and pleasant feature
of the programme at the Broad-Street
Park vaudeville this week Is the return
appearance of three of the greatest
favored artists OF the season. Billy Van
and Gladys st. John were upon the origi-
nal bill this week, and now the manage
ment has been lucky enough to replace
the Marrons. who were forced TO cancel
their engagement owing to the accident
to Master Marion on Monday night. with
Miss Matte Borum, bright little vocal
list, who made many admirers here during
the first two weeks of the season. She
sang last night new list Of songs, with
meritorious success.
Billy Vans new monologue Is a peach"
and he appears funnier than ever when
he sings his droll PAROLES. Miles and
Raymond are underlined as the comedy
premiers of the bill. and their act is a
prism of wit and uniqueness. while Misses
St. John and Lytton could hardly be
equalled I'm their duets and dances. Law
rance Crane is clever magician to be
excelled, especially in his egg trick, that
battles the vision.

TO GET CLEAR WATER
PROMPT STEPS TO ne TAKEN
LOOKING TO THIS END.
TWO PLANS THAT ARB SUGGESTED.
One, Which superintendent Boiling
Endorses, is to Have n Settling
Basin, and the other Is to Sink
Artesian Wells.

The Water Committee Of the City coun-
Gil will go on tour of inspection OF the
department on Tuesday, the 18th instant.
and in the course OF their peregrinations
will consider two very important ques-
tions.
One of them is the construction Of an
electric lighting plant at the new pump
house. and the other is the vital question
of the hour, the Qualification Of the water
supply throughout the city for drinking
purposes. The latter subject will natu-
rally monopolize the greater part of the
time.
AS far as can be learned. two plans are
to be submitted for clearing the water.
The settling basin, which has been dis
cussed by former water committees, finds
many supporters. while there are others
who favor the sinking Of a series of arte-
sian wells, plan which is being operated
with success in Savannah, Ca. and other
cities.
1t is probable that Richmond would have
had a settling basin long ago. had II not
entailed an outlay of $4,000, according to
the lowest estimate obtainable. The plan
has one very practical benefit. however.
and that is that the first outlay is also
the last. 1t proposes to build a large
basin or reservoir, which will be filled.
and the water given sixteen days In which
to settle, after which it will be drained
off for use. With the two compartments
Of the reservoir, it will always be possible
to supply clear water to the city's mains.
A letter has been received by the chair
man of the Water Committee from a firm
in Ohio suggesting that a series of arte-
sian wells shall be dug. The firm recent
ly carried out a contract in Savannah,
Ga, building ten wells, which are yielding
100000 gallons Of water day. The ave-
rage daily consumption of water in Rich
mond is 5000 900 gallons, and agents of the
company will come here to demonstrate
the feasibility and economy Of this plan.
The question OF clearing the water by
means Of an immense filter has been dis
cussed, but it was decided that the cost
would be too great, as alum would have
to be used in large quantities. which. it
is feared would be bad for the health OF
the community
