last evening when it came time for
him to move his notice of reconsidera-

| lice TO enforce the law against the

Water Extension Debate.
Two small water extensions in the
Second ward led to an unseemly squab-
bic between the members of the Sec
ond and Third wards over the DISPOSE
ton of the water bond fund. One of the
extensions was on Cheyenne avenue and
would cost Sl,079.27. and the other on
Uintah street, from Arapahoe avenue
to Sixth South street. The resolution
of Councilman L. J. Wood for the work
provided that it be paid from the bond
fund. This caused a protest from Couu-
Gilman Fernstrom, who insisted that
the Second ward was getting more from
this fund than it was entitled TO-
Councilman G. H. Raybould said that
the understanding was that the Sec
ond ward was to have $40, 0GO of the
$4,000 for the two wards, and the Third
ward the remaining $4,000.
Councilman J. J. Stewart stirred up a
hornets nest by remarking that the
Third ward got an aqueduct and that
If the Second ward wanted the whole
$4,000 for water main extensions it
should have it,
Mr.. FernstT0m strenuously objected to
this and called upon the administration
to keep its pledges of the aqueduct and
the $4,000 for the two wards. The Sec
Ond ward. he said. had already got more
than $4,000. With Councilman John
/ Holley he moved that it go over until
next week. This would have prevailed
| but later in the evening the resolution
was changed TO provide for payment of
the extensions out of the water works
| fund. This Mr.. FernstrOm approved
and it passed.
The council adopted the recommenda-
/ ton of the public works committee that
celebrations be held on the Fourth in
Liberty park, and appropriated 500 for
! the expense. A flag pole and flag will
| be provided and Held's band Will fur
nish concerts from 10 to L o'clock in
the morning and from 4 to o'clock in
the afternoon.
