that the Council is not authorized to
incur this Indebtedness, and could not
under the law purchase the engine at
this time.
The question of employing an en-.
gineer to supervise the paving of Main
street was discussed, and Mr.. Carson
appeared before the Council with ref.
.erence to the proposition he had made
in this connection.
There are three applications on file

provided in the ordinance recently
passed by the Council under instruc.

The applicnts are the firm of Fountain

tary were present, and a number OF
visitors.
l.. NJ. Hewitt appeared before the
Council with reference to an agree
ment for lights the citizens of the
southwest part of the city have en-
tered into. For fifteen street lights
| in that section OF the city, thirty
citizens have agreed to pay so cents

to postpone action on the matter, hay

will be available on the sale of tho
bonds recently voted, should arrange
ments be made for direct pressure in
stead of a standpipe, and the $4,000
voted for a standpipe will be used to
extend the water, light and sewer

was brought out that under the mum

light bill is only half what 1t was pre-
