: Authorized to Secure Rights
Of Way at Once.

After spending nearly two days going
over the bids submitted by Puget
Sound pipe firms for constructing the
pipe line for Walla Walla's new gravity
water system, the special advisory
committee from the Commercial club
requested the council last night TO
which to make a recommendation, CIV

of fire insurance companies in regard
to reservoirs, size of pipe, ETC., in or
der to secure, if possible, a radical
reduction in existing rates when the
new system is finally installed.
After securing this information the
committee may advise some changes
in the plans and specifications of the
proposed system, although nothing of
this character has been definitely an
nounced. The delay in awarding the
pipe contracts was somewhat of a dis
appointment to the members of the
council last night, as it was hoped to
get the work on the line started as
quickly as possible.

Mayor Hunt Makes Caustic Re-
marks on Subject.
TAKE TWO WEEKS TO COMPLETE JOB
Council Probed Into Matters I..+
Night and Had Representative
on the GriddIe.

Il am sorry they are not all going
away" caustically remarked Mavor
Hunt at last nights council meeting
when an ordinance was introduced
providing for the payment of 5000 on
account to the firm of Seattle account
ants employed by the judiciary com.
mittee to expert the city books. Coun-
Gilman Cox explained that the reason
the ordinance was introduced was he
cause one of the experts was going
away and needed the money. It was
then the mayor let drop the remark
that expressed his views very signific-
antly on the expense the city is being
put to by the Seattle accountants.
The subject being opened, Council
man Mexican took a hand and COM
menced asking a few pertinent oues-
lions regarding the work of the ex-
perts; how much it was costing the
city and about how long it would be
before the work would be finished and
report made. He called attention to
the fact that bill of something like
$500 was paid only a week or SO ago.
A representative of the accounting firm
explained that the $3.50 asked for rep
resented actual money paid out for
board and lodging, which the city is
under contract to pay. He said they
were working four men now and he
had been able to secure fair board and
lodging for SO a week per man, al
though the first week it had cost them
$21 a week per man. When pinned
down to make a statement of what
the work had already cost the city and
about when a report could be eX-
pected he estimated the firms services
for four weeks at approximately $1,000
and promised a report within two
weeks. At the rate the exporting has

The students are much pleased over
the news from Pendleton which was

To the Mayor and City Council:
Gentlemen: The undersigned, the
special committee of the Commercial
club on water Improvement, beg to re-
port as follows:
1--WE have carefully considered the
bids received for pipe, and are unwill-
ing to make any recommendation until
we snail have had an opportunity to
advise with a consulting engineer
1--WE are agreed that it is desirable
to ascertain the attitude of the insur-
ance companies with regard to reser-
voir, size of pipes and other details,
that we may make no mistake which
would prevent our city from securing
a radical reduction in existing fire in
surance rates.
I'm view of the foregoing, we ask
that we be given further time, say 10
days, during which interval We will
endeavor to prepare a report recon-
mending an engineer for appointment.
and as soon after as practicable to
submit our recommendations as to ac-
