KEEP OUT POLITICS.
Mayor Bergundthal Has Plan to
Manage WaterWorks.

Mayor Bergundthal will send mes
sage to the city council this evening
making his official recommendations for
the management Of the Waterworks
plant under city ownership.
The mayor will advise that board of
three trustees be appointed by the
mayor and approved by the council. who
shall have full control of the plant.
One of the trustees shall hold Office for
three years. after which they shall be
appointed for a three year term.
The mayor will advise that the man.
agement of the waterworks be taken
entirely out of the control of the city
council, and placed in the hands of the
trustees. He wants the trustees to
have the appointment of a superintend-
ent, to have charge of all the finances.
to have authority to say what changes
and improvements in the plant are
necessary and what extensions in the
the boa-do SHOULD fix the water rates,
and that the profits of the plant should
be paid over to the city every year, just
as though the water plant was being
run by an independent concern for the
benefit Of the city. He thinks that the
city should continue to pay its hydrant
rentals, etc, as heretofore.
On the question of whether or not the
three trustees should receive any pay,
there is considerable difference of opin-
ion, and the mayor will make no recon-
mendations. Personally the mayor
thinks that the men should be paid
small salary Some of the councilmen
think that the duties will not require
much time, and that three public spirit
ed citizens can easily be found who will
serve Tor nothing.

but he declined to do so.
Before the doors were opened the mob

stones. The police had difficulty in pro-
tecting the count from personal injury
While the concert was in progress a
bowling mob outside the hall made the
music inaudible. Some officers came out
of the hall and reproached the mob for
such disturbances. The mob then forced

threw missiles at kubelik. The concert
was then stopped and the audience dis
persed amid a fire of offensive eDithets
The demonstrations were continued
outside the hotel where Kubelik was
staying and the police, aided by the
mayor, had difficulty in dispensing the
mob.
