A PASSAGE Oh ARMS
Arising from a request as hi
whether any steps had been takenl
with reference to the water extern
sion ordered by the council on Ma
}ple street north. a sharp passage of
arms occurred between the council
and Col. Slower representing the
Water Co. Clerk Schoenberger
claims that ne iIIai led notice Of the
desires Of the council both in re-
gard to the extension on Boxelderl
4 street and Maple street north. Col.
Slower said that the company had
received notice Of the Boxelder eys21
tension and that the work was be-
ing pushed thru, but that his cont
pany had never received any NOTICE
relative to north Maple street, and
lso nothing had been done. The old
franchise, under which the cons
pany is working, requires 80 days
notice of any extension called for
and as the franchise expires before
that time, the city can take no steps
to enforce it's orders. The franchise
further provides for the service Of
notice in the usual way, in person.
MIR. Slower further informed the
council that it would be impossi-
bic to complete this extension be-
fore the frost set in, and that it
was useless under the circumstan-
ces to attempt the work. Some OF
the council seemed to think that
! the water company was taking adj
vantage Of certain technicalities IN
order to avoid what Col. Slower
told the council at the time the ex-
ension was ordered, was an unnec-
essary piece Of work and in which
was no revenue to the company
