The city council have been obliged
to annul their contract with the Rich
ardson Silk Co. to do pumping for
lawn watering and fire purposes and
have renewed with the Bedding Hall
90. After connections were made il
was found that the power was not suf-
hclent to do the work without reducing
III at the mill to the disadvantage of
machines and operatives. The Bel
ding Hall Co. take it at the old price
but the city has cut the rate to water
takers to dollar month. The con
nection with the Richardson plant is |
considered by the council TO be an ex-
cellent arrangement as in case of big |
lire the extra power afforded will be of
great value.
There was large number of Grattan
boys, members OF the Grattan Masonic
lodge, present at the regular cOmmun-
lcation of Bedding lodge Monday night.
The attendance numbered over one
hundred and the visitors worked the
third degree in way that was pleasing,
Impressive and instructive. John /.
