Mr.. Ed Clark was present with
a petition asking for light at the

That mOmentous question of
water supply then came dancing
up with its usual blare, but the
council put it up to the Water
Works trustees this time. 1t IS
high-buck or low.doe, and the
IL ustees must name the toss. The
council passed a resolution asking
the Water Works trustees to sub
nit plans and specifications for
additional water supply and pro.
posed extensions, and that when
such are submitted, the council

That there are city dumping
grounds and a slaughter house
near, that furnish all the cause for

complaint are we'll taken.
Fire Chief VIM. Waner was
