nation chemical and hose auto for the

relative to the appointment of water
superintendent to fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the resignation of E. A. Knight,
who surrendered his keys yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. Although three
applications have been filed with the
city clerk, members of the water COM
mittee evidently cannot agree upon the
appointment, and as result there is
no superintendent on duty this week,
and will not be until al agreement can
to the council, either at a called ses
sion or at the next regular meeting
The question of appointing a water
superintendent did not come up at last
nights meeting of the council, though
a. closed session was held following the
transaction of regular routine business
Whether an appointment was made or
not has not been announced, but ru
NOR is to the effect that members of
the water committee cannot agree on
the question, and refuse to bring two
reports before the city fathers.
Routine business of lesser import
ance occupied the attention of the quo
rum present last night, and short shift
was made of the contents of the eel
endar. Mordo Mcdonald asked that
the city scales be placed at the Nc
Donald barn, Fourth and Poplar
streets, the proprietor to pay 81 a
month rental, and to look after all
work connected with the Weighing
This was placed in the hands ofthe
street committee. Property owners on
Locust street petitioned the removal of
a horse corrall that is located in that
section of the city. and the committee
on health and police was given charge
of the matter. ts.-- -, 49,

Last winter a few books from the
Edgerton public library were kept in
Mr. Murwin's store and loaned to those
who could not visit the library. 1t now
seems advisable to the library board to
discontinue this unless the readers In
Fulton are willing to pay something for
the privilege of having these books
sent to them. Fifty cents apiece, an
nually, was agreed upon as reason
able price, and it was decided to put a
notice in the store to this effect and if
sufficient number signified willing
ness to pay fifty cents apiece the books
would be sent out. This seems very
small sum to pay annually for good
reading. The librarians plan is to
keep at least thirty books in the store
and TO replace these with new ones
aboufeOuce month.
