WANT METERS
| N T RODUC Ed
Water Board, Last Night, Thought
More Business Places
Should Use Them. p

AT special meeting of the water
board last night. Richard J. Calvin
was awarded the contract for build.
ing the sanitary sewer at Runyon for
$2,349 .55.
Clerk Eckert was ordered to re-
turn the 500 checks to Martin Han
son and Chris. Deidrickson, the 9TH
er bidders on the work.
Some difficulty was at fist expert
enced in deciding the route for the
sewer. BY running it through the
lands of John Davidson, the cost
could be reduced about $500. The
board took the matter into consider
alton, and decided to act at once. Mr..
Davidson was communicated with,
and at last nights meeting the com
mittee reported that Mr.. Davidson
would, for 500, grant the necessary
permission to cross his lands, and IL
the board should later purchase his
tract, the 500 was to be deducted
from the purchase price. 4 resolu-
tion to that effect was drawn up by
Commissioner Voorhees, last night.
and a warrant for 500 was ordered
sent to Mr. Davidson A provision IN
the agreement states that the race
way on his land must be left open.
A lengthy discussion was held by
the board in regard to installing the
meters in the business houses of the
city. AT present only a few meters
are in use, and 1t is the opinion of
the commissioners that in many pla-
ces much water is consumed, that Is
not charged for. Many views on the
subject were given by the members
present, and it was finally decided to
have Superintendent Burns make a
list of all the places which In his
mind were using more water than
they were paying for, and also where
there are now no meters, and where
they should be installed. Mr.. Burns
will make a tour of inspection and
will report at the next meeting of the
board, October 3.
In the past, when leak occurred
in any of the mains in this city, IL
has been customary to take employ
es from other contractors to do the
repair work. The board talked this
over last night and ordered that in
the future all leaks are tosbe repair
ed by the regular repair men, who
are hired for that purpose.
Superintendent Burns was ordered
to collect FOR water used by contract
ors, who are doing city work after
October 1 At the present time, all
concerns that have contracts with the
city for work, have not been charged
for their water, and were allowed to
take water from the hydrants in all
parts of the city without any expense
to them whatever. After October l /.
all contractors, whether they hold
private or city contracts. will be char
ged for all the water they use.
Commissioners Haney and Clark
were not present at the meeting.
