against the bill being one of two members of the Council who opposed Lit.
 Storm of Protest.
 Alderman Fox stated that he had been informed that there was a pro- test petition in the hands of the City Clerk, signed by property owners of the city who objected to the formation of an improvement district for munic- ipal ownership purposes. They claim that they are already taxed heavily and in the event that they are assured by the present water company of bet ter service and more water. they do not deem that another waterworks plant is needed and, besides, 1t was stated. they were not certain that the municipal ownership would be free of politics.
 Attorney s. M Taylor, represct;ng :, the petitioners, addressed the Council. He said he was not there to express his personal views, as he had given the matter no consideration whatever. The petitioners represent,'' he said, "are reputable tax payers. am told that their aggregate wealth to the city is more than $2,000,- l ooO. They are opposed to this movement on the ground that the municipal ownership tax will be a ] heavy burden on them. The taxes of the city are already per cent, with other improvements being made. which. will add to their present taxes. If the water com pany does what it says it will do. ! these petitioners believe they can l get along for years and years with out another water and light plant. They are not willing to risk mu- i nlcipal ownership now. They don't want any fight with the city coun- cil and themselves. They ask the 1 council to consider what they are doing. They don't want to antago- nize you and they ask that you do not antagonize them.
 Speaker Admits Facts.
 Personally, do think the city ] is without remedy I am thoroughly familiar with the contract of the city with this water and light com pany. l have been in the courts too often in the past with it not to know 1t we'll. IF THIS WATER COMPANY VIOLATES ITS CON TRACT, AND IT HAS DONE so MORE THAN ONCE, THERE IS A PROVISION IN THE CHARTER. GRANTED TT BY THE CITY, CIV ING THE CITX THE RIGHT TO SEIZE AND OPERAE IT. THE CITY COUNCIL HAS NEVER GRASPED THE OPPORTUNITY.
 There is another remedy. You can make the water company forfeit it's contract. There are several reasons why the improvement dis trict should be formed and there are still many, many, more why it should not.
 The speaker cited the invest ments of the Citizens Light & Transit company. This company, he said. was holding to it's interests in an effort to build it up, and that they might in the end reap the benefits. they so we'll deserve. The interested parties believe that an additional tax would lessen the value of their bonds.
 Alderman Boyce Against Politics. Alderman Boyce stated that there was one provision in the bill, l in which the mayor is made an ex- officio member of the commission, that does not meet with his ap- proval. He said the advocates of municipal ownership signed the peti- tion, after assuring themselves that no politics would be injected into it. "No> officer of the city should have a place on the commission, he said. Otherwise, the bill is all right

ings. and is expected to produce new
ideas and styles even IN the construc-
ton of rows Of houses that were for
mcrly left entirely To the builder who
followed along one general line
TO this change may be ascTibed the
variety and beauty Of the many dwell
ings that have been erected in the past
few years, giving to the city a charm
and beauty that it's wide streets and
avenues so well adapt IL for In this
respect no section OF the city has been
neglected. and a drive through any OF
the streets Will give an excellent idea
Of the advances made IN the Improved
/ type Of residences.
Two representatives. Of entirely differ

/ the advance has progressed. as they are
