REPORTS,

The city council last evening received
the report Of the special water commit
tee who were appointed for the purpose
Of preparing an estimate Of the cost of
constructing a new waterworks system
for Ogden The report was that a new
system could be constructed, with water
mains throughout the entire city, with
two large reservoirs with entire cement
Innings, at a cost of $3.50. 600 and without
the cement Innings and the reservoirs, at
a cost of S2S5.O0O. These figures are con-
siderably lower than had been expected
by many and the committees report was
very favorable for the citys bonding for
enough money with which to construct
a system. The committee was composed
or Councilmen Davidson, Chambers, Viii
hams and Craig.
The city has a bonded margin of $234
90, which is $1,000 less than enough TO
tee suggested that this amount could be
met out of the general fund during the
next two years
1t was suggested by the committee that
instead of issuing bonds for $4,000 for
the construction Of sewers that the city
issue scrip for this amount which may
be done. and the matter will possibly be
put 10 a vote of the people next month
The re3ort was referred to the finance
committee.
