THE PURE WATER JUGGLE.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN A
QUANDRY.
City Trustees Reject It's Offer of
Aida Demand for a Free
Ferry at Freeport.

At a meeting of the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday Presi-
dent Miller, after disposing of the rou-
tine business, stated that the matter
of most Importance to be considered
was that of the petition for the crea-
ton of a commission by the Mayor of
twenty five citizens to consider the
subject of a clear water supply.
He reported for the committee that
the petition was duly presented, and
later argued by the committee at a
special meeting of the Board of City
Trustees. AS it has not been granted,
it was in order for the directors to say
what further efforts should be made,
if any.
General Tozer thought it advisable TO
get a large number of citizens to wait
on the Trustees to urge the appoint
ment of the commission, as he con-
sidered that such a commission of citi-
zens would most speedily and satisfac-
torily arrive at a solution of the clear
water question.
T. B. Hall thought the chamber had
done it's full duty in the matter, and
as the Trustees insisted that they were
fully able to handle the subject he was
in favor of letting them shoulder the
responsibility of delays, and defeat,
if it resulted in that
Mayor Land stated that he did not
think the Trustees would comply with
the petition, and gave the reasons
some of the Trustees had for opposing
the commission.
The committee was excused from fur
ther action in the matter.
The partial report of Consulting En-
gineer Grunsky on sewers was dis
cussed, but action was deferred await
ing his final report
The question of a free ferry at Free
port was considered, and the follow
resolution adopted:

LATE WAR SOLDIERS.
Will Participate in the Parade on

At a meeting of the Sacramento vol
unteers of the war with Spain, held at
Armory Hall last evening, it was def
nitely decided to turn out in the Mem

Lack of uniforms will be no bar,
though the officers desire as many as
can do so TO turn out dressed in the

arms, and all are requested to assem-
BILE at the armory at l o'clock sharp,
