that would be prohibitive.
 Councilman Marshall said that per sonally he was in full accord wlth the spirit of the ordinance and would like to see the pool rooms closed on Sunday. However he was there to do not what he wanted but what the people wanted and he thought II might be better to go slow ana get q better expression of public sentl- ment first.
 The question was put and Council men Yaeger and Campbell and the mayor voted aye, Councilman C1sney nav and Councilman Marshall passed.
 The executive committee of the Au- tomobiIe club. headed by President Bullard as spokesman then maue d talk to the council about the rough and undesirable conditions Of the clty streets. due to the jumpoffs between the crosswalks and the street and the unusual amount of laying or water and gas pipes that has been done lately. There was less protest about the big trenches of the water mains that run parallel with the street and which will soon be remedied, than there was about the little two-inch connecting pipes that cross the streets at intervals making mean little chuck holes.
 A half hour was spent in discussion of this subject in all it's phases and the committee was assured the cou3- cil would do all in its power to pet ter the condition and is anxious for the cooperation of the Automobile club. Judge Bullard then appointed Judge Ainsworth and C. T. Hirst a commit tee to confer with the council and the street department to see what inn movements could be made at once.
 At the last former meeting the coun- cil agreed to buy from the govern ment all the water required for all the area within the corporation lines and take charge of its distribution. Here tofore it has been handling about three fourths of it and the govern ment Is tired of trying to distribute the water to small parts of the city in sections where there is no one in au- thority to receive it. This in a gen eral way met the satisfaction of ev- erybody but there are a few owners of acreage tracts within the corpora tion who cannot afford to pay lot prices for acreage irrigation water. one firm for instance has twenty acre truck garden and if it paid at the rate of s per lot it would go into bankruptcy Messrs. Carr and Bar nett had been appointed committee at the previous meeting to work out a plan to cover such cases with equity to the rset of the city.
 The committee then reported that in its opinion the following would be fair schedule of rates for rentals:
 Single lot S3.
 Six lots, equal to one acre, S9.
 over one acre and not exceeding five. $4 per acre.
 All over five acres, $3 per acre.
 Tine subject was referred back to the committee and the city attorney

 Mir. Burnett said that it is quite possible there are some incorrigible boys of tender age who have evaded parental discipline and who try to haunt these pool rooms. II Is possible that some boys are noisy at times but all these things can be regulated. He next presented the petition in protest which he said could be increased many fold if a few days time were given: that the 700 names had been secured in one days circulation of it merely as a token to the council of the sentiment of the people in the city.
 A meeting of the owners of the pool rooms of the city had been held at the instance of the speaker and they had outlined an ordinance that they thought might be passed in lieu of the one suggested. 1t provided that no youth under IS should be permit ted to enter the pool rooms except by consent of parent or guardian or writ ten permission of same. It also sug gested the closing Of the places at midnight and the prevention of un- usual or disturbing noise. all of which regulations the owners would willingly aid in enforcing.
 Councilman Yacger replied in few words to Judge Burnett saying he had made a good speech but had poor subject. He said the arguments against Sunday closing were the same made against closing the saloons and were untenable. As for club mem bership he said a new club is now starting that he thought they could all join if they wished and that there was in fact no argument to be made against closing the pool rooms. He said that if the ordinance was not passed he believed there would be a petition before the council before long asking for the raising of a license

with instructions to prepare an ordi- nance to report by the next meeting which will be Monday night. City Tax Collector Barnett says he is hay ing about fifty inquiries per day on this subject and is very desirous of having it settled. the more because the buying of water must be before the 18th. It can be stated to all in- quirers that the city will buy the water before the 25th and they must buy of the city but on what terms in not yet definitely decided, except in the matter of the single lot or those having less than six lots.
