Town Board Meeting.

At their regular meeting Mon
day evening the village trustees
ordered all sprinkling stopped on
account of shortage OF water and
danger of fire. 1t was stated
further that the city hydrant may
be locked if necessary to save
water for fire protection. 1t is
believed if this is done that the
farmers, who get water in town
free of charge, will not complain
when they realize that the protec-
tion OF the town against fire
depends absolutely on some water
being left in the reservoir.
The board took cognizance OF
the complaints regarding the filthy
habit of tobacco chewers expector-
ating on the sidewalks, as especial
ly noticed about the store corners
where groups gather in the late
afternoons and evenings. Notices
were ordered posted to put stop
to the unclean practice.
Attention was also called to
mischief done by boys with sling
shots and fippers. AS this is z
matter which may come under the
head of malicious mischief, boy:
