Souncit-Froceeoinos OF miu
Month Session Last Night.
At the meeting last night of the city
council, Councilman Hansen called al
tention to the fact that the ordinance
governing the use of water for irrisa
tion purposes was being fiagrantly vic
lated in every part of the city, and up
on his motion, the marshal was direct
ed to employ a suitable special police
man, whose duty it shall be to arrest
offenders wherever found and bring
them before the justice of h police
court. MI. Hansen said that not only
was the law being violated on every
hand, but during the fire at the roll
ing mills a few afternoons ago, which
occurred at a time when half the citi'
zens were using water for their lawns,
very few hydrants were closed, the
law requiring them all to close while
a fire is raging. The special police
man is now on duty and will visit every
section of the city as often as he can
and enforce the law without favor.
