WILLIAM LAND, Mayor
Trustee Devine moved that the May
ors message with regard to the
water be acted upon and referred to
the Corporation Counsel with a view
70 amending the ordinance.
The motion provoked considerable
discussion. Trustee Tebbets said that
the scarcity Of water arose, in his opin-
ion, from the breweries and other places
that run heavy engines and use much
water The matter should be investi-
gated and the source of the trouble
discovered.
Mayor Land said he had discussed
the many complaints made by water
takers with Collector Robertson, and
they agreed on this plan. That very
morning two ladies who came to pay
their water rates complained that for
three days they had scarcely any
water, but on the Fourth of July they
had plenty.
The motion of Devine was carried.
Two hundred dollars were trans
ferred from the general fund to the
sewer fund and $500 TO the street fund,
and bills on those funds We're paid.
