COMPILED ORDINANCES
ARE BADLY NEEDED

The fact that a compilation of the
city ordinances which has been turned
down by the finance committee be-
cause il will cost something like $500.
is a dire necessity WIS brought out
last night as a result OF the discuss
sion of the new weights and measures
ordinance which same up on its third
reading.
Alderman Neustadt remembered
that about two years ago the city
council passed i resolution authoriz-
ing tho city to buy a platform scales
which is proposed IN connection with
the new ordinance. This stimulated
the memory of DR.. Wroth who re-
called that the city had already pass
ed an ordinance similar to the one
pending. Investigation BY the city
clerk disclosed that this is indeed a
fact. other aldermen logged their
memories and thought of other pro-
visions that had been made for weights
ana measures in the dim past. Finally
the entire tangle was kindly con-
signed to the city attorney to straight
en- out ana the city attorney viii likely
be busy with it. All of which caused
Alderman Wroth to renew his request
for a compilation of the city ordi-
nances. %repenting of his previous vote
against the expenditure. He was gent
~ sat upon by the finance commit
toe. The council agreed that it would
be necessary hereafter to have some
idea of whore they are at and on mo-
ton Of Dr. Wroth the city clerk was
instructed 70 index all the ordinances
since the last compilation. by title.

IN THE PUBLIC
EYE AGAIN
COMMISSIONERS WANT
IRRIGATION OUTLET
Ask Council to Open Up His
toric City Ditch Negotiations
Again. Council increases En-
cheering Force.

A. last nights meeting OF the city
council the commissioners of the Bar
elias acequia submitted a communica-
tion to the city fathers asking that
some action be taken at once whereby
the waste waters from irrigation OF
lands north of the city may have an
claiming that unless such action is
aiken the farming lands will be serl-
ously damaged by the overflow. The
matter was referred to the city attor-
ne, to report at next meeting after
the point had been brought out that
the city has a contract to Keep clean
only that part of accquia between Cen
trail avenue ana Tijicias road. Tho
situation according to the ditch COM
m%issioners is d serious one and mon
aces the farming interests north of the
city.
They request that the negotiations
which resulted in the closing Of the
city ditch b. rc-opcned,
The petitioners point out tina since
the closing of the old city ditch of
malodorous memory the waters OF the
Gricgcs accquia have had no outlet
through the Barclas ~accquia an that
his waterway is entirely inadequate
to carry off the water used by the in
ereasing rural population in irrigat-
ing their lands. 1t is stated that
water users along the BarelaS acequia
north of the city have been forced to
close up the ditch and suspend taking
water from it because of the lack of
overflow the surrounding country. The
commissioners say that they closed
the ditch merely at the suggestion Of
the city street commissioner to avoid
causing damage to property. and that
they did this merely as an accommo-
dation and eannot afford nor are COM
PEELED by any law to keep the ditch
suspended. 1t is declared hat por-
ton of the Barelas acequia below the
intake of the Gricgos ditch can be
Widencd ana strengthened enough to
amply care for the waste water and
prompt action by the city is ncccs-
sary if property Is to be protected

Ncustadt, seconded by Alderman
Learnard was carried to the effect
that the force be Increased as asked
by Mr.. Wroth in his report, such in
crease to cost approximately S4oO.
This action was taken after consid-
cradle vigorous discussion which at
times approached the spirited stage.
It was voted that the mayor and
the sewer committee make a contract
with the electric light company for
current for the scwagc pumps.
DR.. Wroth called attention to the
fact hat some new method will have
to be arranged for the wooden mills
to take care of the wool waste which
gets through the screens and clogs
the pump.
In advocating the increase in the
city engineering force DR.. Wroth
claimed that a saving Of thirty days
could be made in preparing the pre-

if the increase in the force were al
lowed.
