The council last night adopted an
ordinance concerning the laying OF wa
ter mains in the streets, the provisions
being similar to those of the provisions
Of the proposed ordinance printed Of
icially on the 9TH of August for the
benefit of the citizens of the city. The
provisions concerning the openings in
the main laterals for service pipes are
unchanged, and provide that ANY ger
son, persons, company OF corporation
owning property in the half blocks
AUDITING upon any street intersecting
Grand avenue shall, upon payment be-
ing made therefor, have the right to
tap any lateral street water main laid
along the street upon which said half
blocks abut, with a one inch tap for
each sixty-six foo lot or a three-Quar-
ter inch tap for each t~wenty-four foot
lot and no taps of a larger dimension
than those above specified shall be al
lowed to be made"
A Question of Doubt.
Tbera &c nothing in the ordinance
specifically defining the status of those
persons who own major fractional TOR
tions or lots in the residence district.
but The mavor and members a, the
council are Of the opinion, which is al
so shared nv the citv attorney that
such owners must combine with the
owper of the other norton of tbe lot
and receive their supply from q one
inch opening the three-onarter inch
openine being confined exclusively to
those nortions of he citv WHARF tbe
lots are only twentv.four feet wide
as in the businesa sections The mem
hers assert the belief that not more
than four one.incb openings will be
allowed to be made. under the terms
of the ordinance, on either side of the
main lateral between two BLOCKS on
any street. The ordinance provides
for the tapping of main laterals with a
two-inch opening for fire protection
only, under special permission of tho
council in each case.
