A statement was made by the
auditor of the amount of outstanding
warrants at the present Inc, in
Guiding the December warrants, and
which amounted to ~$33,23S.S4. He
stated that it would require about
100000 to run the city expense for
the rest of the fiscal year, making a
total of $63,32S.S4. He stated that
after a conference with the county
officials that he learned the income
from taxes and from other sources
would amount to about $4,000,
which would leave the warrant in
debtedness about $4,000. This mat
ter was brought before the council
with the idea of issuing bonds to
take up warrants. Nothing was
done along this line at the present
time, owing to the fact that in the
spring it is expected to increase the
Indebtedness by the installing of the
sewer system for draining surface
water and the possibility of building
a new septic tank, as was suggested
by Engineer Parsons.
The ordinance recognizing the
fire department into new companies
was taken up and passed.
The new water ordinance was also
placed on its second reading and fl
nal passage and passed. The new or
dinance calls for a new set of rates.
The fiat rate for 1900 cubic feet or
les is placed at $3.50, with a slight
reduction when paid at a certain
time. Nhe larger consumers are CIV
en- a lower rate according to the
amount they consume. Hereafter the
meters will be owned by the city,
thus relieving the consumer of keep
ing in repair the instrument. Strong
regulations are in the ordinance con-
corning the working of the system.
There is a provision in the ordinance
to arrange for certain hours when

this was eliminated before it was
passed
Alderman Reeves introduced a
motion requesting that the new water
ordinance be published in The Re-
publican, where it could be read by
the patrons of the city, which was
unanimously adopted.
The ordinance Will be published
in full Tomorrow in The Repub-
lican.
Ordinance 231 vas also placed on
its second reading and passed. This
relates to the licensing of one or
more plumbers to tap water mains
and to install sewers, for which they
are required to pay an annual license
