IN REGULAR MONTHLY
SESSION MONDAY NIGHT

Passed -Various Matters Of In
terest Discussed

With all of the members present the
council met in regular session at the
city hall last night and acted on sew
sral matters Of importance to the tax
payers
A communication was received from
the Santa Fe railroad in which was
ooatained the copy Of contract relat-
ing to the supply OF water to be fur
nished by the city TO that road. and
the payment therefor. The contract

supplied was executed In 1904 and has
been extended three different times.
It specifies = fiat rate OF SIS per
month and stipulates the maximum
amount OF water to be used. In case
more IL used provision IL made for a
higher rate. The contract offered last
night specifies a monthly rate Of SIS.
with q provision that II no switch en-
gine 10 used the rate be $40. Il fails to
specify q maximum amount OF water
to be used and makes no mention OF a
higher rate IL this is exceeded. The
opinion Of the council was unanimous
that under the old contract the rail-
road was being treated fairly and ;he
water commissioners and city attor-
nay were directed to draw up q con-
tract which would embody similar
provisions to the one executed in 1904.
A report was received from the firc
oynrptrrinnera recommending that the
increase in salary requested for Chief
Caasedy be not allowed but urged the
installation of q serviceabie bath tub
for the use OF members OF the Depart
men, The report was adopted.
The council allowed a rebate OF St.75
to Jack Brown in the payment Of his
water taxes.
