dinances. giving similar authority. have
been introduced in the Municipal Assembly.
The ordinances have failed of passage. and
for this reason the city water will be
served only to the people of the Country
Club for the present, as II Is by a special
permit from the Mayor that the club is buy
ing il. The same permit has been granted
to the Delmar Garden Amusement Company

Every effort will be made to get a bill

ing the sale Of water to the suburbanites.
and the people living outside of the city
think their prospects are bright.
