Your standing committee on sanl-
tation light and water, begs to make
the following report on the SUI 1ect OIL
water sDigots used in the small parks
and squares.
We recommend that the spiSot on
the east side, and the spigot nearest
Mansfield street on the west side OF
the northern half Of Queen square,
be discontinued. also the spigot on
the west side of Jekyl square
and the one on the west side of Ma
chen square. The companys records
show that these spigots were ordered
in from time to time by various city

council. These spigots are so seldom
used that we recommend that the
remaining three be discontinued UNI
