its meeting last Monday evening, the
most important pieces OF new work
being the decision TO extend the cleo
trict lighting system 70 the Great
Western location and to continue the
mains on Fourth street TO the corner
Of Forest avenue.
The first ward has been paying
taxes right along for the maintenance
and building Of the light and water
system and has never had any return.
The decision TO extend the light wires
TO the Great Western is Just. 1t is
understood that the mining company
will be large user OF light and the
revenue to be had from the line
will pay for the extension in time.
Several street lights will be placed In
the first ward also.
The people on the south end Of
Fourth street have been asking for
water service for several years. The
expense Of the extension is not much
and the action Of the council meets
the approval Of all fair minded citizens
The Official report is as follows:
