that the residents there would be
supplied with city water. The city
engineer was instructed to make an
estimate On the cost Of putting in
about eight blocks Of water mains in
the addition end report 1t the next

that the cost would be about 1900.

Of the alderman that there is no
record Of the city having secured N
easement for the laying Of water
fmains On county roads. The city
attorney was instructed to inter-
view The county commissioners and
secure the necessary right-of-way.
notwithstanding the pipe has already
been laid.
