THE PUMPING PLANT.
HOLIDAY then raised the point that
the statement issued by the Joint COM
mttees was not the same as the OH
cd report OF the special water com
nRlee. which was adopted by the city
council. He said that the report con-
nlned some reference to the Spring
creek water. but that the statement
had cut that out entirely. He objected
to The expenditure OF $4,000 for a
pumping plan IN Parley's canyon for
The reason that II the Spring creek
water Is not going to be purchased
there will be no need OF that plant,
end the city could save that amount or
money He mcved that that Item be
stricken from the statement. He was
assisted In his effort 10 have the $4,000
stricken out by Black, Martin, Wood
and Neuhausen.
Il was explained by Wells, Fern
iron, Tuddenham and Hartensteln
hat the pumping plant would still be
Necessary TO pump the sewer In connec-
ton With the sewer Improvements. Il

expended out Of the bond issue would
again have 10 be passed upon by the
council before the money Is spent, and
