up and on motion amended by increasing
the amount for salaries from S65oo to
$500. after which it was read for the
third time and passed.
On motion the sum of S6.6el.66 was
transferred from several of the funds to
the water. salary and general funds, for
the purpose of paying outstanding war
rants and rehabilitating the city's credit.
On motion the ditch water ordinance
was amended by the insertion of a penalty
clause, after which it was read for the
second and third times. passed and ad-
opted as an ordinance.
An ordinance establishing a frontage
tax was submitted and passed first read
ing.
The proposed contract with the Ar
kansas Valley Railway Light & Power
Co.. as revised by the water committee,
was read, discussed and finally laid over
