Water was turned into the Improve
ment Company's ditch on Tuesday. 1t
was raining on that day and not needed.
The water came down with such force
tnat it nearly drowned some of the low
er strawberry patches, where they were
not prepared for it and had no means of
shutting it off. Parties wanting water
can notify Nj. M. Davenport, and when
it is ordered they must be prepared to
take care of it. He will turn in the
amount needed. The ditch has been
enlarged, braced and has capacity for
furnishing all the water needed this
season. Applications already in amount
to over 200 inches. The company has
spent over $1,000 in improvements since
last September.
The joke was ON our genial city record
er at the council meeting Monday night.
His table was we'll filled with ordinances,
petitions, remonstrances, bills against
the city, etc. Among the bills he read
one against himself for sidewalk lumber.
Not noticing more than the headings,
the items and the totals, the bill with
the rest went to the finance committee.
A loud outburst of applause came when
the committee discovered the mistake.
The recorder took a walk around the
room, filled his pipe and treated himself
to smoke.
