when told by Mr. Finkle tina. some Of
the citizens believed the city could fur
nish lights at less rate than is now
secured. he said he thought the city
had enough elephants on its hands at
present, notably the water and sew
age questions. Mr.. Fisher said the city
is not In a position To take this ques-
ton up at the present time. ME-

The question of a reduction in the
water rates TO the Iowa Central came
UP. the committee reporting in favor of
a S..-cent rate To that company.

the committee report was adopted, and
later DIR. Harris introduced an amends
ment 10 the city ordinances giving the
Central a-csnt rate and the North
western and Great Western a fiat rate
of 3 cents.
The Great Western had been paying
I cents per Loco gallons, but Agent Ell
lis had protested that it was too high,
hence the reduction to . cents.
The water works committee. TO
which was referred the question OF en-
| forcing the plumbing ordinance, re-
ported in favor of its enforcement. and
That the board Of health at once appoint
a committee to consider applications for
registration under the same.
