The water question was taken up by
the council last night and while there
was not much discussion of the sub
ject, on the recommendation of the
street committee Councilmen Glasford
Mexican and Martin were appointed by
Mayor Hunt to employ some compe-
tent person to secure rights of way
through land along Mill creek from the
city limits to some point to be agreed
upon for the purpose of constructing a
gravity system of water works.
Councilman Glasford introduced the
following resolution:
Resolved. That it is the opinion of
this council that the plans submitted
by Otto A. Weile, hydraulic engineer,
in 1898. are the most feasible for OBJ
tanning an adequate supply of water
for city purposes and that said plans
be adopted
A motion was made to adopt thu
resolution, when Councilman Mexican
objected, stating that he desired time
in which to read over the Weile plans
as he mad forgotten a greater portion
of the report that was made by the
introduced the resolution, consented to
laying the resolution on the table I'M
til the next meeting, which was done.
Councilman Glasford called atten-
ton to the work being done by the
water department in digging a we'll on
Lincoln street near the city park. He
was of the opinion that the work was
entailing a useless expenditure of
money and that ne was certain that
the department would have to aban-
don the we'll without securing water.
After a brief discussion it was finally
decided that all work should be stop
ped at once until the return of Chair
man Kirkman of the water. committee.
