ervoir this side of mountain.
Mcssrs. Knieriem and Hamill came i'll
during foregoing proceedings.
Water Committee, through Mr..
Knieriem, asked permission to buy some
6-inch pipe. Thought pipe offered by
David ID. Price could be bought cheap.
Would be needed on this side of noun
tain from top of hill down. Would
economic the present strain ON pump
ing machinery.
Superintendent Jctfrics and Council
man Hartig thought it would be an eX-
cellent thing to do.
Mr.. Jenkins stated that pipe had been
used, and he had understood that only
p per cent. from current rates would be
allowed, although the price of pipe had
advanced somewhat since the pipe offer
ed had been purchased, and he would
object to paving that price. Mr.. Duggan
was not i'll favor of purchasing old pipe
at - percent. of the present price.
The matter was then referred to the
Committee to report at next meeting re-
garding the condition, price, etc, Of the
pipe.
Another communication from William
McLuckIe regarding damage to his
properties was read and referred to
street Committee.
Town surveyor Harvey reported that
owing to unavoidable circumstances he
was unable to deliver map according to
contract, and asked for an extension of
time, which was granted.
The deed conveying to the Mayor and
Councilman two acres of land from the
Borden Mining Company was read.
The land was intended for the &it"S of
new reservoir determined upon some
time ago. The company reserved the
mineral rights and the right to enter in
and upon the premises at any time to
secure said minerals.
Messrs. Duggan and Hamill thought
that deed should be made in fee simple;
that is, without any reservation what
ever. 1t is known that vein of coal
underlies the site for the new reservoir
and under the deed the Company could
knock the bottom out of the reservoir at
any time
\ motion to have the deed returned
and have the Objectionable part stricken
out was made and carried, MI Knieriem
voting III the negative.
Mayor said that motion would kill the
new reservoir project and that it APP
pearcd to be- made for that purpose.
Mr.. Hamill. who made the motion, OBJ
icctcd to having his motives impcached.
Henry Mayer asked for permission to
