Z Charging that for nearly four years

II, and that, in his opinion, the com
mittee never would report il to the
council. Councilman Wallace, of the
Third ward. last night called up his
ordinance requiring the water com
pany TO furnish its patrons 10 gal
Ions OF water per day at 81 quarter
and asked that the council either
pass or defeat ii so that the matter
could be settled at once. Mr.. Wallace
declared that this ordinance directly
effects nearly every person in the city
snd that it will mean a saving of
money to possibly one-third of all
Of the people in the city.
Mr.. Wallace said that in the four
years he has been in the council he
had not done a single thing which
no could recall which was for the
direct benefit of the people and that
Re did want TO see the water meas
ure go through the council. He de-
olared that when he first came into
the council he offered an ordinance
similar TO the one he was now call
ing up. but that 1t had been side
tracked somewhere. He had offered
another and that had met the same
rate lie charged that one member OF
the committee had taken the letters
from other cities containing informa
ton about charges prevailing on
water elsewhere in Virginia and had
lever to this day reported on them.
This same committee, he declared.
now has his latest water measure
under consideration and had deferr.
I'd action on 1t.
Ii was nearly IL O'Clock when Mr..
Wallace called up his ordinance and
d majority of the councilmen wanted
to adjourn the meeting. However.
some OF Mr.. Wallace's statements
provoked debate, but the matter did
not come 10 q vote, President Jones
suggesting that the patron of the or
dinance move to make the considera-
ton of the measure the special order
of business AT the next regular meet
ing of the lower branch. Mr.. Wallace
seemed loath to do this, but finally

the people of>two cornties gathered to
be present at the last sad rites which
were said over his body.
1t was a miscellaneous crowd. but
its heterogeneous 2 nature showed the
broad sympathtes of the man and was
in itself a tribute to his memory.
Marble started as a cattle buyer in Ho-
bart and gradually acquired fortune
until at the time of his death he was
reputed to be worth 100000.
He was regarded as one Of the most
generous men in the county and had
the reputation of living well and of be-
ing a thoroughbred sport 1t is said
that he had a larger acquaintance over
Lake county and greater influence here
than any other man before or since his
time
AS he became older his interests
troadened from the limits of two coun-
ties and he had many valuable proper
ties in the south. The funeral services
at Wheatheld were simple. but the
tribute to Horace Marble was a re-
markable one and brings out the fact
that he was one of the big men of Lake
and Jasper counties.
