More complaint of graft on Gus

brought to The Press, this time by
Joe Lavery.
He declares he went to the shop
to get only a shave and haircut,

in spite of the fact that he told the
barber working over him several
times that he did not want it. In
the end he was charged 81 for the

clares, after having been scared

WANT CHEAPER
RESERVOIR

The board of public works re-
jected all bids yesterday for the
first reservoir considered, deciding
that cheaper reservoir can be
built, giving the city just as good
service. Water Commissioner Reu-
terdahl planned two kinds of reser-
voirs, the first to be of reinforced
concrete and the second to be of
straight concrete.
Councilman Funk stated this
morning that the price paid for the
reservoir site in Mantle was only
$4,000, and it is within the city
mile limit. The price paid by the
city for the new. reservoir site was
$32,500, $4,000 more than the one
now in operation, an dit is about
one mile without the city limits.
