sewer was advanced another step by
the report of the city commissioners
showing the names of parties liable to

The waterworks superintendent
showed that coal is getting scarce and
hard to get and suggested that sup
ply of crude oil ought to be laid in as
a precautionary measure, which will
be done.
( The street commissioner filed his
annual report stating that 366 persons
had paid or worked their street tax DUR
ing theiyear and that 8 have failed to
do so. All names were given. The de-
linquentS will be proceeded against

with the law like good citizens.
The bills allowed, including salaries,
amounted to 81, 299.43, leaving a bal
ance OF s62.96 in the treasury. An
other loan is therefore necessary and
