Alderman Hards, OF the water com
mittee, presented the reco Lmendation Of

OF meters. Some little discussion was
had on the matter and it was upon mo-
ton OF Mr.. Lee laid over for future con-
sideration at the next regular meeting,
on account Of the absence OF two of the

Alderman Shores reported for the
purchasing committee. that in accord
ance with the orders their committee
had received, they had constructed
corral for the storage of the property OF

making quite a torrid speech, which
seemed to have some effect, as the mat

the library went over until the next
meeting OF the council without final
action.
