ASK THAT intake
BE EXTENDED
Citizens Present Peti.
ti0n to City
Council

Rev. w. L. Custer and Attorney c.
II. Baldwin appeared before the coun-
Gil last night with a petition asking
that the intake pipe for the city water
system in the Clearwater river be ex-
tended further out into the channel of
the stream and above the inlet of
Lindsay creek and Delsol slough
In explaining their request, Rev. Mr..
Euster contradicted the published
statements of Health Officer Roe that
the intake pipe runs along the bottom
of the river and is 20 feet from the
bank of the river. Mr. Euster de-
clares he measured the pipe himself
the other day and that the opening of
the intake pipe is but "A inches from
the bank OF river and only % inches
below the surface of the water Mr..
Euster further stated that there is no
screen over the mouth of the intake
pipe, which is IA inches in diameter
The petitioners asked that the pipe
be extended a few hundred yards up
stream, and into the main current of
the river. above the outlet of Lindsay
creek and the Delsol slough.
Regarding the depth of Lindsay
creek, which DR.. Roe says is but a
foot wide and five or six inches deep,
Rev. custer declares is a foot deep
and eight feet wide near the outlet.
Delsol slough says Mr.. Euster is a
stagnant pool, and does not arise from
the Clearwater and flow through
grassy fields. as the health officer de-
clares.
Engineer Miller who was before the
council last night stated in connection
with the request of the petitioners that
the cost of the extension of the pipe
ought not to amount to very much.
Wooden pipe could be used he said for
this purpose and made to last many
years.
Samples water taken from the
creek and slough We're left with the

New System of Collections.
The ways and means committee of
the council last night reported on a
plan for collection of water rents, and
the enforcement of the penalty when

and the finance committee authorized
to secure the necessary blanks and ac-
count books.

The specifications for the proposed
sewer system which We're prepared by
City Attorney Cox and Engineer Miller
We're accepted.
The request for funds from the band
was turned over to committee to
meet jointly with the Commercial club
the council finding that the city char
ter would not permit the appropriation
of funds for such use. although the
council realizes that the band is a
source of considerable advertising for
the city and worthy of support.

The Parson and His Pickles.

A clergyman was very fond OF a
particularly hot brand of pickles and
finding great difficulty in procuring the
same sort at hotels when travelling,
always carried a bottle with him. One
day when dining at a restaurant with
his pickles in front of him, q stranger
sat down at the same table and with
an American accent presently asked
the minister to pass the pickles. The
minister, who enjoyed a joke, politely
passed the bottle, and in a few min
utes had the satisfaction of seeing the
yankee watering at the eye and gasp

An unknown man was swept over

An employe of the Ontario Power
Company first saw the little craft
coming down the river in the grasp
of the swift current. The occupant,
man, was standing up, frantically
waving his hands. Two row boats
started down the Chippewa river to-
wards the Niagara to attempt to res
cue him at the mouth of the small
stream. The rescuers went far be-
yond what is considered the danger
line, but a cross current carried the
unfortunate man away from them to-
ward Goat Island, and in few min
utes he was carried over the Horse
Shoe falls.
The would-be .rescuers were by
this time in perilous position and
it was with difficulty that they sue
ceeded in reaching shore. They were
