'
 An expenditure of sS5,000 to be made to improve the Douglas water service and lower rates for the con sumer were two of the results ac- complished at the post recess session of the city council held yesterday af- ternoon. At the session on Monday night there was not much other busi- ness for transaction that the requis- ite me could not be given to those and some other matters which were left to be transacted yesterday.
 When the city council assembled yesterday afternoon Aldermen Clin- ton and Ramsey were absent and En- gineer Archer and c. O. Ellis of the water commission were present to explain in detail the proposed changes in the water system. En- gineer Archer had a set of drawings showing pumping plant, raised tank, O. tank. wells and other details and referring to these he explained the matter fully to the council and the other city officers. His explanation was a lengthy one and complete in details and when it was ended 8 motion was made that the request of the water commission for an ap
  posed improvements be granted. A second was found and the motion unanimously carried.
 As to the proposed changes Ia water rates the city attorney was in- structed to prepare an ordinance to cover these. which will be acted up- on at an adjourned meeting which iE to be held on the night of Thursday, December 22, to which time a recess will be taken when the council meets today to inspect the Gemewell fire alarm system which is now installed and ready for test and acceptance by the city.
 The "redl ght" district was further restricted in size yesterday whep-as' ordinance was passed changing its limits. With the abolItieH of saloons in this district 1t kas diminished rap idly ia-F0pnlation. Many of the Houses formerly occupied there are vacant and there is a growing sen timent in the city for its complete wip ng out. The ordinance was pas sed on petition of property owners of the vicinity and restricts the resorts of the district to Sixth street alone prohibiting any such houess to open either on H or I avenues. It makes the district less than a block in length on either de of Sixth street.
 The petition for the laying of Q sidewalk on Ninth street was taken up and the city clerk directed to prepare the requisite notices for a hearing to be held on the night of December 22- Such notices have to describe the property affected and to be posted in five conspicuous places Cons derable opposition has develop ed to the plan and 1t appears that ! the property owners are about evenly l divided.
