said that while drilling well on his
farm oil and gas We're struck at
depth of 40 feet. He was elated
over the discovery and thinks it will

HIS ORDER WAS NOT oBEYED
Those Who Did Sprinl>Iing Claim
: That Order to Cease Should
Have Come From the
Council.

Ofieiaity< thee sprinkling season closed
last Thursday, but if the contentious of
the city engineer carry any weight, the
sfntSh was reached fifteen days ago, when
he gave orders to all contractors to cease
Hwork. This was done owing to an almost
complete depletion of the fund set aside
Tor the work
- While obeying the order in way, all
OF the contractors kept UP with their
-eontracts in. desutory sort of a man
ner with the result that the courts will.
iin all probability be called upon to de-
eide who is in the right They hold that
work can only be stopped by an order
from the council.
Mr.. Claussen's order to the contractors
Ito cease sprinkling, was sent to the coun-
> ell for confirmation, but for some uneX-
-plained reason it was shelved with a
committee, where it has remained ever
since. The amount in dispute is about
80 ,000, against which four contractors
have claims, and if paid it will leave
l-nothinga to, keep up the sprinkling In the
business part of the city, which must be
kept going until the ground is covered
with snow.
Underfsthe charter $4,000 IS set aside
each year for sprinkling purposes, but
it has proved entirely inadequate to keep
pace with the sprinkling petitions that
Were filed this year. Many streets had to
Ego unsprinkled while on others the num-
Der of trips for the wagons had to be re-
6uced in order to permit the sprinkling
-of large territory.
According to the expectations of the
aboard of.water commissioners, there IS
accruing for the city something like 81
SEQ for repairs to sprinkling hydrants and
changes in the same, but it is not likely
that the demand will be recognized.
H. AS some construe the charter, the board
is obliged to furnish free water and also
l-keep in order the hydrants used for
sprinkling purposes. Prior to the new
charter going into effect the board was
4paid for the water used, this also includ-
ing the repair and maintenance of hyd-
i,rants A suit is likely.
