pectation that more satisfactory sprink-

A committee composed of William IN
gram, II. Grau and F. Mohr, was pres
ent and Mr.. Ingram addressed tine
board on the matter of authorizing the
Mayor to appoint a consulting engineer
to examine sewer plans. The commit
tee he said, had been appointed by a
meeting of citizens to ask the board to
postpone the call for the bond election
until such time as the consulting en-
sIneer can examine and report on the
sewer plans.
Trustee Paine said that the Mayor
had appointed Mr.. Grunsky as consult
lug engineer. The Chamber of Com
merce had on a former occasion en-.
ployed Mr.. Grunsky to pass on Engin-
eer Mulleney's plans and had endorsed
them and the Trustees had adopted
them on that showing. Now 1t seem.
1t is wished 20 examine them furrhe..
Trustee Devine said that Mr.. Mule
ney's plans had given perfect ssat.sfae-
ton, but there had been an accident
that had done some damage and would
have TO be remedied The plans hs
was satisfied. are as near perfect as car
be procured from any source He was
opposed to paying out money for inves-
tigating plans that cannot be improved
on and he was opposed to any delay. h
did not think the people would approve
of the issue of bonds for it, and he die
not think that an engineers report
would carry it. He had read the inn
practicable editorials in to-days pa.
pers. and the vague proposition in then
for submitting a clear water PROPOSE
ton. The only feasible plan is by cheat
filtration Of the river water the bes
in the world. but the recent filterine
proposition is too COSBY.
