struction of a mammoth hot house on
his premises on Brewster avenue for

siderably larger outlay than that d.

tion. The matter was left with the
mayor for settlement.
On motion the city attorney was au-
| thorized to take the necessary steps
to apeal the case of Grant Cox vs. the
city to the state supreme court. A
transcript of the evidence presented
at the recent trial in the Fremont
made and filed with the clerk of the
supreme court within period of six
ty days and bond given for the costs
of the suit. The application of A. j.
Stever for the position of caretaker of
the waterworks pipe line in the Roy
al Gorge was presented and the water
committee was instructed to employ
him at salary of $4,000 per month.
Mr.. Slower will receive in addition to
his Salary the free use of the cot
tage recently erected by the city near
the pipe line intake, some two miles
beyond the Hanging Bridge.
Superintendent C. w. Van Patten of
the waterworks system stated that a
number of ranchers in the Hot Springs
addition were desirous of obtaining
water for use in the growing and pre-
paration of vegetables for market and
that he estimated that it would cost
approximately 1890 to lay four
inch pipe line across the river and a
two-inch pipe line to the ranches
where it was needed. AS the amount
of water subscribed for in that vicin-
ity would pay more than ten per cent
on the cost of installing the required
pipe line and its maintainance its con-
veyance across the river was voted to
be a good investment for the city.
Mr.. Van Patten was instructed to coli
lect such additional data in relation
to the revenue to be derived from the
installation of the contemplated pipe
line and report the result of his inves-
legations at the next regular meeting
of the council
The finance committee reported that
it burned on June Sd, all of the can
celled bonds and coupons paid by the
city during the past year. On motion
OF Alderman Wallace the city clerk
was instructed to enter upon the min
utes of the council the fact that the
bonds referred to had been burned
and to register their number in con-
nection Herewith. The monthly re-
ports OF the city officers were read
and ordered placed on file after
which the council adjourned.
