WATER
 QUESTION Ordinance Passed By
 City Council SAID TO BE INvALID
Because Four Members of Council Did Not Vote
 for Its Passage.

Tho city council Monday night passed Ah ordinance placing license tax on water companies of $500 year, The tax is aimed at the Moonlight Springs Water Company, of course, and not upon, water peddlcrs. The Moonliyht Springs Water Company supplies the city with nearly all the water used, Their pipes were laid in the streets prior to the incorporation of the town, and of late there has been some fric. tion regarding the use of the streets, between the water company and the council.
 The ordinance referred to had been before the council for some weeks, but Monday night it was passed by vote of , to2.
 Now a question has been raised as to the legality of the passage of the ordi. nance. The city council is composed of seven members, but Valentine and Tierney-arc absent, and in addi- ,tion, the latter has rendered his resig- nation, although it has not been ac- cePted. An attorney stated yesterday that he believed the ordinance is in valid, inasmuch as it requires, accord Ing to his opinion, to be passed by a majority of the council, not merely by majority of those present and voting, aS was the case.
 . When s. C. Milligan, superintendent |, Of the water company, was seen yester- day relative to the ordinance he was non-committal. But 1t is'probable that . test case will be made and the matter submitted to the district court for ad- publication.
