Hon, John Basel, representing
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, adj
dressed the council briefly on tho
matter Of proposition on the part
of the railroad company to enter IN
10 an arrangement. with the city to
furnish water to the railroad COM
many for the use of its engines. He
stated that the legislature had pass
ed an act, by which the railroads
could condemn water rights, when
urgently necessary, and then he call
ed attention to the fact that at low
stages Elk creek and the river below
the mouth of the creek became so
greatly contaminated with sulphur
that the water used in the engines
here incapacitated them and caused
tbe company much embarrassment,
owing to the repairs necessary on
that account. He stated that the
superintendent of the division had
authorized him to inform the coun-
Gil that the company would enter
tain or advance n proposition to
nav proportionately the cost of pro-
yiding the company with water. In
This connection he informed council
that the railroads daily consumption
of water at this point il about 1885,
600 gallons. and, unless an arrange
.ment could be- made with the city the
company would have to pipe III sup
.pIy from a point above the dam,
which would likely cripple the
efficiency of the city service. The
matter was referred to the water
committee td negotiate with the
railroad company and report =
council at the next meeting.

a sewer from near Patton's store to
the Hart machine property, and also
that the pavement in front of Alex
Duff's property on West Pike street
be paved to the amount of 500.
The report was received and filed
As a special committee of the old
council D. d. Britt, city engineer,
recommended that Elliot & Win
ehell's bill of 1859 for the concrete
paving done Mt the federal building
by the city be paid. After some DIS
cnssion the bill was referred to the
finance committee and city attorney
TO report at the next meeting as to
whether or not the city had the right
to assume the obligation, the point
being suggested that the paving was
not on city property.
The matter of laying a sewer from

chine shop sewer at a cost of 5000 to
