RUN ALL NIGHT.
Watering TrOughs to be Turn
ed on Again.
The Council Refuses to Allow Claims for
Damages Arising From the
Flooding of Easements.

The people who have been agitat-
ing to have the watering troughs run
all night won the point at the meet
ing of the council Friday. Some of
these people live on streets where
mains are laid, but refuse to take and
pay for their water as other people do,
but want the city to furnish it to them
free at the expense of the people who
pay the water taxes. Why the water
should be pumped up to the reservoir
at large expense and then be allowed
to run to waste all night is a matter
that a good many people cannot under
stand, especially when the pump is
running twenty-four hours day to
supply the legitimate demand.
The matter came up when Aid.
Leonard moved that the watering
troughs be turned on all night, to stop
the Kicking" He did not think that
it would cause much expense.
President Porter stated that the city
pump is running "a hours day and
is hardly able to supply the demand.
The turning off of the troughs from
s 80 p. M until 5 80 a. M saves a
large amount of waiter. Only one
complaint of the water being turned
off has come to the board This man
can make connection with the mains,
as they run in front of his property,
but he prefers to take his water from
a trough free of cost. Aid. Deebach
wanted to turn on the water at re-
duced force, and save the expense of
the man who turns off the water.
Aid. Taylor said that it was ques-
tion of water more than expense.
Engineer Thompson said that the
troughs were intended more for far
mers than for our home people. The
complainers nearly all live on streets
having mains and can take water by
paying for it.
Mayor Currier said that the water
runs through the troughs much faster
than it ought to. The motion was
carried, Aids. Meyer and Taylor vot-
ing mo"

New Sidewalks Ordered.

The following communication was
received from J. r. Thompson
Mankato, Mimi, July 7, 1900.
Common Council of the City of Man
kato
Gentlemen: During the season of
1899 large number of sidewalks were
condemned by your honorable body,
and the board of public works by vir-
tue of authority vested in it by the
charter proceeded to build such walks
as the property owners refused or neg
lected to build. In this work we
were stopped by the council last fall
and consequently large number of
walks are in bad condition and if
left to the property owners will never
be built.
This action of the council has
caused the board of public works to
be unjustly accused of favoritism. we
DO not care to rest under this stigma
ard I have this day ordered 10, 476 feet
OF cement walk to be laid by the side
walk contractors
In -+C7stice to ourselves as well as to
the pull lie we will in the future COM
ply strictly with the provisions of the
charter and ordinances relating to
the construction and condemnation of
sidewalks
Respectfully,
j. r. THOMPSON,
City Engineer.
The letter was talked over at some
length.
The aldermen were generally favor
able to having the walks built, if the
citizens are first given another oppor-
tunity to do it themselves, and the
money in the fund is not exceeded.
Engineer Thompson said that if the
council did not want the work done it
should not condemn walks. He thought
that the way things had been done
was boys play. The board had been
criticised by people who had built
walks while their neighbors refused to
do So The cost of the walks just or
dered will be 81, 547. 60.
