RED LIGHT PETITION sTRAYED
Lost or Stolen. The even Tenor of
the Adjourned Monthly Meeting
Passes This Ghost By-New Con-
tract with the Water and Light
Company-New Sidewalks.

And still another council meeting
has come and gone without the long
expected petition for the removal of
the bad lands being presented, and
Mr.. Logan and the councilmen have
another respite. Why the petition was
not presented last night is not known
unless the inclement weather pre-
vented the ladies who are in charge
of the movement from being present.
1t is their intention to be present in
''propria personae" at the time and
not trust the petition to the tender
mercies of the city law makers with
out seeing for themselves what action
is taken. Although there has been
considerable delay in the matter. the
ladies are determined that the city
council shall go on record as either
for or against the upholding of the
law on the question, and will surely
present the voluminous petitions at
one of the early meetings of the coun-
Gil
The meeting of the council last
night was largely taken up with mat
tiers relative to the Water and Elec-
trio Light company and aside from
this there were no matters of much
Importance transacted. There vas
the usual delay in getting a quorum
and it was long after the regular
meeting time when the roll was
called, with Aldermen Cutler, Web
ster, McIntire and Murphy present,
and Mayor Logan in the chair After
reading the minutes the petition of
the residents living on the west side
of Spring creek, for the extension Of
the water mains to that part of the
city, was taken up. The petition as
originally received asked that the
mains be put in as far as the county
high school, and described a route
that would bring the mains outside
the city limits. AS the council has
no power to order water to be put in
outside the corporate limits of the
city, this route was somewhat
sion the council decided to order in
the water as requested, providing
sufficient number of residents in each
block along the proposed route would
agree to take the water for term of
two years. Under the terms of the
franchise granted the water company,
there must be eight property owners
in each block, four on each side of
the street, or equivalent thereto, who
will agree to take the water for a
term of two years, and unless this is
done, the company is not obliged to
put in the water. Mr.. Coram, presi-
dent of the Water and Light COM
pany, was present and expressed his
willingness to put in the water, pro-
viding a sufficient number of con-
ago when there was so much COM
plant from the users of city water,
over the prevalence of green scum in
the water the city board of health
visited the standpipe and on making
investigation found that the bottom
of the pipe was coated with mass
of green scum and slime, and in &C.
cordance with this discovery they
ordered that the pipe should be
cleaned, and at the same time in
structed Drs. Houston and Morrow
to make a further investigation OF
the conditions surrounding the pump
ing station and report to the city
council. In accordance with this in
struction, DR.. Houston was present
last night and made the following
report:
