On motion of Mr. Schiller, sup

committee adopted recommends
tion to the city council this morn
ing that Is apt to cause commotion
among the real estate interests.
Mr.. Schiller's motion was to the
effect that the city make no water
supply contracts on the usual basis
with promoters of future additions
until the present city supply could
be increased to take care Of pre-
vailing needs and meet the require
ments of further demands.
Mr.. Schiller explained that his
intention was not to curb growth

practically all the additions likely
to be floated for some time had
been cared for in regard to water
supply. He argued that the city
could not consistently agree to sup
ply water to enlarged territory
when II is unable now to serve all
the territory legally entitled to
water His idea is to call halt on
further extensions until the water
problem had been so adjusted that
contracts could be made in good

thereby be assured of realizing on
