ATTORNEYS fOR 1. THE BANKS
 WILL ACI.
Sewer Bond Ordinance Will Be Placed in Their Hands
 for Approval. 1;

There will be meeting of the city council called in the very near future to consider the sewer bonds question, and some other important matters. Mayor Caven will place the city ordi- nance under which the bonds are is- sued in the hands of the bank aftor- neys for day or two, and as soon as they express their opinions on the ordinance he will take action. If the bank attorneys should suggest any changes they will be favorably considered by the council.
 As soon as the ordinance is fixed up, the next consideration will be the form of the bond. This matter will be taken up jointly by the city attor- ney and the attorneys of the buyers. It will probably be but a very short time before bids will be asked for the construction of the sewer.
 Another matter which will come be- fore the council at their next meet ing is the matter of piping the water from the Czar shaft to the north side of the canyon. Some time ago the Copper Queen company gave permls
 sion for the city to use the mine wa ter for sprinkling purposes, as the regular water supply was rather short, and none could be sold for sprink- ling. Shortly afterwards, the pre- cipitating plant was finished, and now the outlet for the water is on the sew
 CT side of the canyon. It has been suggested that the city build pipe line, either across the old slag bridge
 or a suspended pipeline, in order tr
 get the water to a more convenient point for loading the sprinkling carts. When seen yesterday Mayor Caven said that he had been giving this mat ter his attention. and would refer f to the street committee today, so that they would have time to investigate the matter and submit a report at the next meeting of the council. A; soon as this pipe line is built there
 will be plenty of water for stree. sprinkling. and the dust annoyance l will be removed.
 Mayor Caven also said that he had been looking into the matter Of issu- ing bonds for the installation of a wa! ter system for fire protection, and sew eral prominent attorneys expressed if as their opinion that the matter could be done under the charter. At the last meeting of the council Fire Chief
 Henkel brought this matter up and presented data which showed that the city could be equipped with an ade- uuate supply for the sum of s5O,0OO.
 Ii was suggested at that time that the city issue bonds to raise the necess" ry money. but after consideration ii
 was decided that the city could not i issue any more bonds under the or ganic act. At that time the organi' act was read. and according to that | the city in issuing sewer bonds had | incurred the highest legal expense | The exception to the rule being bonds for water supply, sewer system, etc Bonds could be issued above the four
 per cent limit for any of these pur-
 poses. and now it seems that the at i tornevs construe the statute to mean any kind of water supply. either for l fire protection or otherwise. If this
 opinions prevails the matter of issu- | ing $50 900 worth of boz Is will prob ! ably be presented to he citizens for
 their approval at a sreciAl election.
