MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
 FRIDAY
Sewer Bond Problem Is Near ing Solution - Fire Bonds
 May Be Issued.

There will be a special meeting of the city council on Friday evening al which time they will take up verdi matters of importance
 Mayor Caven placed a copy of the sewer bond ordinance in the hands of the banks attorneys. and it is ex- pected that they will have passed on 1t by the time of the meeting, and will suggest any necessary changes. The next matter in connection with the sewer bonds will be the selection of form of bond. This Is usually left to the bond buyer, and it is probable that the finance committee of the council will meet with the bank at toTneys and arrange that matter. After that the bonds will be handed over to the banks and the money placed to the credit of the city. The council will then have to advertise for bids on the construction of the sewer
 system. Mayor Caven is giving this matter his attention, and using all his efforts 70 get the construction of the sewer under way.
 Another matter of importance which
 will come before the council is the
 question of piping the water from the
 Car shaft to the north side of the canyon. Some time ago the Copper Queen company gave the city per
 mission 70 use the mine water for spIinkling purposes, as the regular
 city supply was rather short, and none
 could be sold for sprinkling Shortly afterwards the precipitating plant was finished, and now the outlet fer the
 water is on the south side of the can yon. It has been suggested that the
 city build pipe line either across the
 old slag bridge, CT a suspended H'Fe
 line, in order tot get the water to a more convenient point for loading the
 sprinkling carts. Mayor Caven re- feTIed this matter to the street com
 mittee several days ago and they will
 make their report Friday night. AS
 soon as this matter is settled there
 will be plenty of water for street sprinkling. and the dust annoyance will be removed.
 The council will also take up the matter of the plans and specifications which were to govern. the building of
 sidewalk around the Copper Queen plaza. It seems that the pldLs and | SDSClUCdllOHS and the contractors want fur
 ther information before they present their bids.
 Mayor Caven also said that he had been looking intto the matter of tssu- ! ing bonds for the installation of wa ter system for fire protection, and seV- era! prominent attorneys expressed u as their opinion that the matter could l be done under the charter. At the 1 last meeting of the council Fire Chlef EenkeI brought this matter ID ana presented data which showed that the l city could be equipped witE an ade- u1ate supply for the sum Of S5O'poo' { r. was suggested at that time that Inc ] citv issue bonds to raise the necesSa-
 r>, money. but after consideration IL v.as decided that the city could not 1 issra any more bonds under the or canic act. At that time the organic 1 oct was read. and according to that
 inc cftv in issuing sewer bonds had 1 incurred the highest legal eXnenss. i The exception to the rule being t"ho9 1 for water supply. sewer system e'c' ! Bonds could be issued above the TOUT re- cent limit for any of tEese pur- Dcses. and now iU seems that the at- ] fCrnevs ccnstrue the statute to mean any kind of water supply. either Tor fire protectiCn or otherwise. If this 1 CT,inion prevails on Friday EighT the matter of issuing s50,00O worth CT bonds will probably be presented 10 inc citizens for their approval at a 1 special election.
