COUNCIL MEETS TOMORROW.
Will Take Up Financial Troubles
Water Report Will Not Be Good.

The village council will assemble
tomorrow afternoon for the regular
monthly meeting. The board Is not
expected tn take any very radical ac-
ton at this time but will probably be
called on to wrestle with financial
and water questions.
The village finances will not be very
badly deranged by the strike, accord
ing to TIE village officials, but 1t may
he deemed advisable TO take some
measures TO insure their stability.
The village water report this month
will not be a very favorable one. ac-
cordins TO Village Water Clerk Oliver
Marion. but it is hardly possible that
this will result in any very radical
action. The strike is delaying
navments as might Ice expected
and perhaps the conduct of the
department will be taken from the
hands of the superintendent of Pub
lie Works and placed in the hands or
the water clerk. This step has been
debated number of times but so far
has never been adopted officially.
The building Of the public swim
ming pool may also come up. In"
council feels. however, that 1t might
be a better plan to wait until next
spring as ii is now rather late 10
swim. The swimming pool idea Is
strongly upheld by c. ] Wagner, the
village playground expert and his ad-
vice will probably prevail
The public scale idea as advanced
by Frank Hildebrand will also come
to the councils attention tomorrow
afternoon. Mr.. Hildebrand will build
the scale if the council will act as
