WRANGLE
OVER MONEY

John Hone complained TO the police
that he came to Spokane with a roll
Of hard earned money, intending TO
have a good time.
He had heard of the many ways In
which stranger is relieved OF his
money in the tenderloin and conceiV-
ed the scheme of entrusting his
money 10 c. y. Phillips, who hands
out booze in a Stevens street saloon.
10 Phillips Hone says he handed
Ss5 for safekeeping and then went
out 10 spend what he had left
On returning TO the saloon for his
money he was told by Phillips tha
lie had drawn it out while drunk.
Hone had Il warrant issued ana
when Ohicer Thompson went tn serve
it ne found another man disputing
with Phillips over sic which the
stranger declared he had left with

Phillips was arrested and arrotsned

100000 gallon reservoir on the Store
site would cost $4,000, If the &C.
inch supply pipe is wooden, and $780,
600 If steel pipe are used.
In that case each 100000 gallons
Of water stored in the Store reser-
voir would cost $4,000 with the use
of the wooden pipe and $4,000 with
the use of the steel pipe.
AS it is my belief that when the
report Of the water commission is
put to the people they will vote for
the steel pipe If the report is ac-
cepted, the rest of this article will
be based on the cost Of the steel
pipe.
In such case the Lidgerwood tank
will store 100000 gallons Of water
for $4,000 less than the Stage site.
Furthermore, the water commission
report states that likely due to the
growth of the city in the near future
the present pumps will be able to
maintain but 100000 gallons of
water in the Stage reservoir.
AS tHe LluSSIWoOu is ~
feet lower no doubt it always would
be filled. Instead of the Lidgerwood
tank being an unnecessary expense
it would be the reversal great econ
omy.
In answer to the water flowing
over the tank on being drained by
the lower levels, that is so easily
regulated by valves Gas the present
tank Isl l can not understand why
such a reason should be given.
Mr.. Gill, city engineer, states the
present "a inch steel mains are well
able to handle all the water that the
present pumps cam handle. Such be-
ing the case, why put the city to the
expense of 100000 for a new main
an discarding the present steel main

to the city of $3.50, 600, and our water

Big Fight in City Council Slated for To.
night May Go Oue~ to Special Meet.
ing---Dr Byrne's Diews On Report

The water meter gang is on the
run-so much so that N. w. Durham
and his fellow conspirators are
straining every nerve to save the
water commission report piecemeal
In order to tack on the water meter
proposition later-after the extrava-
gances of the commission plans have
been carried out.
The water meter gang took fright
at the great number of property own
ers and taxpayers who were to be
council tonight to consider the COM
mission report. Last night the gang
got together and decided to work for
a postponement of the consideration
of the commission report until a
special meeting could be called.
The first plans of the water meter
gang were to have the Lidgerwood
protests and the report of City Engi-
neer Gill presented to the council,
then secure a continuance of the mat
ter so as to take away the sting of
the protests and minimize the dam
ger of the city engineers expose of
the weaknesses and extravagances of
the water commissions report. So,
too, they expect to have other engin-
GERS here to help Otto Weile through
his difficult task of explaining de-
fects to be pointed out.
AS the defenders of the consumers
who are threatened with the con-
spiracy of the water enter gang are
In favor of devoting a special meet
ing to the consideration of the re-
port and the protests, it is likely this
will be done.
Many of the persons interested
would like to have the meeting called
during the day in order to give plenty
of time to the discussion. propo-
sition of this kind will be made to-
night.
There Is no chance now for the
council acting on the report tonight
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-02-14

and the matter is certain to go over
to special meeting.
Because of this there will not be
so many to attend the meeting to-
night.
The Lidgerwood taxpayers will be
present to file their protest against
the abandonment of the Lidgerwood
standpipe and the committee from
the Joint meeting of the taxpayers
and chamber of commerce, which
eliminated the water meter question
for the time being, will also be pres
emit to hand in the joint resolution.
1t may be that the report of the
with so much other business on hand
the council could hardly get through
with that discussion tonight.
From every side there pours into
the office of The Press communica-
tions and protests against the adop-
ton of the water commission report
by the city council.
Some of these protests are against
the water meter scheme, others
against the uncalled for extrava-
gances of the plans and others pro-
test against the propping out of the
Lidgerwood standpipe plans.
In this connection, DR.. p. S. Byrne
has the following:
Editor of The Spokane Press: 1

of the water commission, consisting
of Messrs. Otto Weile, III. w Scott,

cultural college.

this report that seem to me to be
wrong 1t Is recommended to aban-
don the 100000 gallon steel tank

tire morning session of the Weber
trial was consumed in argument.
Judge Prewett decided with the
prosecution relative to the admission
of the defendants statement made to
the officers before his arrest. In this
statement the defendant declared he
went a certain route when he left
home the night Of the murder The
prosecution has already proved he
went a different way. The defendant
claimed that he carried his brother
from the burning building. The prose-
cution proved that George Ruth car
ried the boy out.

PENDANT suggested going to the Weber
