labors in connection with carrying
the water to the cemetery and recon-
mended that the necessary labor be
ordered done to place the Main West

also that the necessary boxes be pro-
cured and placed in position to protect
the water valves, and necessary regu
lations to govern the citizens as we'll
as himself be adopted for the use of
the water in the cemetery. After
considerable discussion on the ques-
tion of the rental to be charged those
lot owners desiring the use OF water
for ornamenting their cemetery lots,
Con. Wood offered the motion that a
fee of SOC be charged for each city
lot for those owners wishing to use
the water during the present year,
that said amount be paid in advance
to the city sexton, who shall pay the
same into the city treasury, that the
sexton make private arrangements
regarding his compensation with those
who desired his services, and that no
person other than the sexton or his
duly appointed deputy be permitted
to use the pipe water or any of the
fixtures pertaining to the system ex-
cept by authority Of the sexton.
