TEMPE PUMPING PLANT
 WILL BE RUNNING SOON
The Missing Repairs Arrived Here
 Yesterday.

It Is now stated upon good authority that the Tempe pumping plant will be in fulf operation in a few days. When arrangements were made for its repair, following the fire some two months ago it was thought the plant would be in commission agilin within thirty days at the most. There were un- avoidable delays. however, in secur- ing some of the necessary repairs. and the work was consequently greatly re- tarded For several weeks everything has been in readiness with the excep- tion of the belt and governor These arrived here yesterday and the plant will in all likelihood be in operation by the first of the week
 The engine has been run little all ready and found to be in perfect con- dition. Without the belt it was of course impossible to test the pump. but it had been thoroughly overhauled and besides. being down in the pit it did no suffer as- much from the fire as other portions of the machinery.

THE CITY FATHERS
 HOLD \ SESSION
TWO. OF FIVE MEMBERS WERE ABSENT.
Considerable Business Was Disposed
 of Though by the Other Three.

Regardless of the fact that only three members of the city council were present at the regular monthly session held Thursday evening. considerable business was disposed of and the way was opened up for more business in the future. Mayor Dimes, Councilmen StelzrtedeE and LulxiD were present. Councilman Fogal. being out of town and Councilman Goodwin being ab- sent.
 The matter of making up an exten- sion of the city water main on East Sixth street was brought up. There has been some little building in East Tempe on that street lately and the residents in that section. or at least some of them are desirous of having the benefit of city water. The marshal was instructed to look into the matter and see if enough water users can be secured to warrant the expenditure of the necessary amount. It Is proposed to put in a. two-inch main.
 Automobililists, motoncyclists and bi- cyclists came in for their share of at tention. For some time the city fath- CTS have had in view the passing of an ordinance requiring a light on all three Of the modes of conveyance after dark At Thursday evenings meeting the matter was further discussed and the city attorney was instructed to draw up an ordinance covering the matter It will probably come up for further consideration at the next meet ing of the body
 The matter of pool room licenses caused a slight commotion in the coun- cA This matter has come. up from time to time lately and has never been definitely settled. IL is claimed by certain interested parties that the pool rooms are exempt from city license by reason of an act of the last legislature. A couple of members of the council, can not see it in that light Just what will be done about it seems difficult to state at present though the mayor con- tends that the pool room must either pay a city license or go out of busi- ness.
 The rate of speed, at which trains pass through town was also up before the fathers. The city ordinance re- quires that at the Mill avenue crossing this rate must not exceed four miles per hour; at the Eighth street cross ing not over six miles per hour, and elsewhere within the city limits the rate must not be over eight miles per honr. It is claimed that this ordinance. is somewhat ignored ad that trains run within the city limits at a rate any where up to thirty miles per hour. The marshal was instructed to notify the railroad company that the provisions Of this ordinance must be complied with.
