of the city was read and discussed
and action on the matter was defer
red till the next regular meeting. It

they are acting in this matter for the
very best interests of the city.
To Make Many Improvements
Chairman Davies of the water and
sewers committee desired to use some
$4,000 or So 900 of the appropriation
for the water system In making some
much needed permanent improve
ments, and he asked If the council
would give its approval. 1t is desired
to enlarge the pipes in certain sec
tions so that better pressure would
be afforded throughout the city and
improve the system materially. He
announced hat nothing but six inch
pipe would be used in the future. 1t
is desired to reinforce the system
in the east end of town and thereby
increase the pressure. The change
will be made east on Colorado avenue
to Twelfth street. thence north to
Rood avenue and then west to Elev-
enth street.
The council. by a unanimous vote
Expressed its approval of Mr.. Dav-
les plans and the improvements Will
be made.

Favor Mountain Water
bN AIt pd0odkt VI iIlb-
tion setting forth that the city coun-
ell is in favor of securing a mountain
water system and supply by the most
feasible plan, by a unanimous vote,
the city council went on record in
this important matter last night.
Alderman Hertz was in favor of
instructing the city attorney to raise
the bond issue from 100000 to
what ever amount 1t is deemed neces-
sary and proceed as soon as possible
with the work of constructing the
system and securing the supply.
However. it was decided that the
mayor should appoint in an informal
and unofficial way to get the status of
the mountain water proposition in
hand and to make report at the next
regular meeting of the council.
Various phases of the proposition
were discussed in an informal man
ner. It was the sense of the council
/ that every movement should be made
carefully and strictly in accordance
with legal restrictions.
Shortly after ten o'clock the coun-
Gil adjourned until the next regular
meeting night.
