MUST COVER RESERVOIR
Or campeI the Removal OF Adjacent
Feed Yards


Feed Yards
Because OF the lack Of a quorum nc
business was transacted at the regular
meeting Of the city council on Friday
evening. but matter ofmueh Importance
was brought to the attention Of the eoun-
Gil members who were present aud act
ion thereon must be taken in the near
future.
DR.. George c. Stemen. member Of
the state board Of health. came before the
council and reported that he had made
an inspection OF the reservoir and would
urgently advise that a tar and gravel
covering be placed over it as safeguard
against contamination. He stated posit-
ively that the dust or odor from the near
by feed yards was sufficient to contain
mate the water in the reservoir and ur-
ged that action be taken to have the
feed yards removed.
In answer to question. the doctor
said that the state authorities could con-
oemn and compel the removal Of the
feed yards, but he hoped that it W ould
not be necessary to take such drastic
measures for their removal.

missioner NeiII late tonight stayed the
strike order and paved the way for
an smicable settlement. The Issue
Of peace or war will be determined
tomorrow. Al midnight the chances
appeared on the Side Of peace.
A compromise, which Mr. NelII con-
sidered fair to both sides, was pre-
eented to the leaders too late for tho
committee TO get action upon Il. Each
side will discuss 1t tomorrow, and if
II is acceptable an agreement may be
eiened by noon.
Early in the evening 1t appeared

Chief Stone of the Brothe rhood Of Lo-

no hope OF a settlement, and with his
advisory board was preparing TO issue
strike order.
Some Of the committeeman were
making arrangements to leave the
city and hurry to their respective di-
visions to be ready for the clash Mr.
Stone intimated that II was but a
question Of few hours when the
bulletin ordering the men to leave
their cabs would be issued.
About 7 o'clock Mr.. Neill telephoned
Mr. Stone to meet him at a hotel at
