years ago by Randolph and a check

non taxable property. Witness said
he had not permitted this practice
since he had been treasurer.
Jas. r. Keller, clerk for the Title
Guarantee company, formerly for
New York Security and Trust COM
pany, testified regarding payments
made to Andrew Hamilton of a sum
of about $4,000 on the order of the
New York Life. This payment was
made in a roundabout way. The Sc
curity and Trust Co., received Monday
on warrants from the Union Savings
bank and Trust company, a Seattle or
Tacoma firm. He said the New York
Life held debentures of this bank and
as money was realized on the warrants
deposits were made to the credit of the
New York Life or paid in checks. The
money paid to Hamilton was charg-
ed to the Union Savings bank. Keeler
was confident the payment was made
on an order from the New York
Life. Keeler said that Hamilton was
paid out of surplus funds of the Union
Bank which had failed, according to
the witness after the debentures held
by the New York Life were satisfied.
The balance was turned over to A. r..
Nichols, general agent of the New York
Life. who had been connected with the
Union bang.

Engineer r. H. Thomson's bill for
locating an adequate source of supply
for Walla Walla s proposed gravity
water system is S10355O. The bill was
filed with the council a few days ago
and was taken under consideration at
the executive session of the council last
night. In view of the fact that En-
gineer Thomson has been in the en-
ploy of the city for nearly two years
and during that time mas spent ap-
proximately two weeks here in 10
eating water supply, besides per-
forming other valuable service, his
bill is considered by the council to
be quite reasonable and there will
probably be no protest when it is or
dered paid.
Submits Proposition.
Along with his bill filed with the
council Engineer Thomson submitted
proposition to furnish a competent
engineer to superintend the installa-
ton of the proposed gravity system
at monthly salary of $3.50. The man
recommended is H. w: Scott, first
chief in Engineer Thomson's office
at Seattle and recommended to be an
expert on hydraulics and water sys-
TENS.
Give WeiIe a Chance.
A majority of the council is said to
be in favor of employing Engineer
matter Engineer Weile of Spokane,
who first recommended using Mill
creek as a source of supply will be in
vited to make a proposition to the
council. Engineer Weile two years ago
made an extensive survey of the val
lev in an effort to locate a feasible
water supply. His report filed with
the council gave several estimates of
the cost of the proposed system, using
Mill creek as a source of supply. The
only difference in the final conclusions
reached between Engineer Thomson
and Engineer Weile was in the matter
of reservoirs. Engineer Weile rec
commended that a reservoir be con-
structed at point about three miles
above the city, while Engineer Thorn
son is of the opinion that a reservoir
can be dispensed with.
Ordinance Being Considered.
The ordinance submitted by En-
gineer Thomson and which was under
consideration at last nights executive
session is as follows, eliminating the
preamble and resolutions adopted at
| former meeting, and superfuous legal
phrases.
1T is proposed that said city pur-
chase or appropriate, as provided by
law, all necessary lands, rights and
privileges, and construct a gravity
