 The connections with the new sewer are under the direction of the water department and Superintendent Thompson announced that it would be delayed in this work for possibly a week. until the department could secure the field books of the system, bN WHICH lllc DOliltS Ol COIlDeCIIOn are to be located As soon as these arrive the work of making the nec- essary taps will begin. MT. Thomp- son, to whom was left the matter of the waste water of the Peoples Ice company, reported that the company will abide by the direction of titr council in the matter. MT. Cisney objected to the water being turned into the sewer on account of it's vol tune. and it was ordered that it shall te disposed of by a surface ditch, as the city engineer and superintendent of streets shall direct.
 An engineer representing the Southern Pacific railroad was pres ent and stated the desire of the com rany to dispose of the surface ditch water on Central avenue at the crossing of it's tracks, by the build ing of a wooden Hume beneath the tracks The city engineer said that he thought it should be 24-inch iron siphon and the railroad engineer consented to that arrangement. pro- vidng the city would keep the siphon cleaned The city attorney was di- rected to prepare a resolution to that effect
 J. F. Cleaveland in behalf of the charter commission, appeared before the council and presented the com Tleted new charter as proposed It was accepted by the council but no discussion nor action was taken in respect to it except that the mayor in behalf of the council, extended thanks to MT Cleaveland and the commission for their work.

Under the law the plans are administered by the engineer and the city superintendent of streets. whom the law assumes are offices provided for by ordinance, while in fact the present officials are merely employed by resolution. The city at torney was directed to prepare an ordinance such as the law cOntem- plates to be submitted at another meeting just as soon as he gets it ready.
 Councilman Warren brought up the matter of stock shippers driving cat tie through the city to the stock yards and the attorney was directed to draw an ordinance prohibiting it, making the cattle come down Park road on the east and suitable streets on the western and southern lines of the city
 Certain changes were suggested by the city engineer in the sewer plans ard adopted by the council and the claims on the payroll were orderei paid
 MT, Conway, who still has some paving to do under old contracts, was given permission to proceed under the old regime, finishing up that work
 A rather startling bit of news came in the report of Dr. Sargent, city health officer, that he had under treatment a child that had been bit ten by mad dog. He asked the per mission of the council to expend $50 in securing a treatment for rabies that might be administered here, and the order was made.
 On request of Chief of Police Moore, Dan Drew was appointed as sistant jailor to succeed J. B. Fraley resigned. and Tim Collins was ap- pointed a special watchman without pay by the city, to serve the Baroer Asphalt company, with the powers of
