on motion of Chairman Mills, the

$500 for each basin. Chairman Pol

Sanitary Measures.
Chairman Mills also suggested that
the bottoms and sides of both basins

reasons the basins being brick lined

ferred to subcommittee. consisting of
Chairman Mills, and Messrs Powers,
Donahoe and Lumsden, to which the
superintendent will report If a body

TO take all proper steps to guard tn,

Chairman Mills also offered In the
water Committee resolutions that the
department shall hereafter furnish and
install all service pipes to the property

and that subcommittee be named to
revise the present meter charges for
water consumption throughout the
city, which was adopted. Mr.. Mills
said that the present meter rates We're
fixed ten years ag, and were inequit-

and manufacturing plants water at or
less than the cost of pumping, while
charging too much to individual house

A PRODUCT OFF THE SOUTH.

Cotton has always been one of tho
main resources of the South In for
mer days, only the cotton lint was
preserved; the seed was thrown away
as worthless. In recent years, however,
this once waste product has been de-
veloped until now cotton oil adds mil

Foremost in perfecting methods Of

it is preferable to butter in making fine
