meeting at Tomlinson Hall In the interests
Of Mr.. Bookwaiter's campaign. On this

such a prominent part in the last cam
paign. Will be r-eorganized and brought into

PRESSURE NOT SUFFICIENT.
County May Find It's Own Water for
Its New fountain.

County Commissioners McGregor thinks
the county cannot afford to pay the water
company for keeping the fountain in the
courthouse yard in operation. and he Is In
favor of digging wells for the purpose. In
the estimate which the commissioners sub
mitted TO the County Council last week
there was an item OF 500 for water for the
fountain. Mr.. McGregor estimates that II
will REQUIRE 500 a year or perhaps more to
keep the fountain supplied with city water.
Yesterday evening the water was turned on
in the fountain and 1t was clearly apparent
that the pressure was not strong enough.
The commissioners will have a talk with the
water company to-day In reference to the
supply for the fountain.

lus presented themselves before City Clerk
to proceed with the necessary
formalities. They found the city clerk at
his home, SAT English avenue. There was a
wild bit Of rumor out last night that the
Democratic city officials would claim that
the Republicans had neglected to comply
with the law. and that the names of the
nominees would not go on the ballots. Chair
man Tanning. of the Democratic city COM
mittee, smiled last night as he remarked:
No. we will not take advantage of any
