LOCAL LEGISLATION
Consulting Engineers are Busy Pre-.
senting their Claims to the
City Council

The city council met Tuesday night
in regular session with full board in
attendance, namely Chairman Meffert
and Councilmen Gerig, Fausett, Nash,
Smith, Tompkins, Moore, Roess and
knight. Reading of minutes of pre-
vious session was dispensed with.
Col. R. r. Rogers, representing
himself and other property owners on
East Washington street, asked that
the council have a four-inch water
main laid on their street that an ade-
quate water supply might be obtain
ed, as number of houses were served
by three-inch water pipe and when
a faucet was opened anywhere on the
line the others had to wait, and the
supply was never sufficient. The mat
ter was referred to the light, and wa
ter committee with power to proceed
with putting in the main.
Mr.. B. B. Baum, proprietor of the
Empire Cafe, asked the council to fix
up the outside of his building as in
his opinion it would be long time
before the city would wish to remove
the building from the lot. and in the
meantime his business was suffering
from the unattractive outward ap-
pearance of the house. After some
discussion it was ordered that he be
allowed one months rent, $35, to
make his own repairs with.
Mr.. E. T. Helvenston appeared and
addressed the council on the erron-
eous assessment on lot which he
owns on East Fort King avenue. He
said he was anxious to pay the taxes
but the assessment was confused OF
mixed with Mr.. Burford's adjoining
property. The matter was referred tc
the finance committee and the city at
torney to adjust.
Several projects were made in per-
son over the arbitrary enforcement OF
the resolution of March 23rd, requir-
ing property owners to pay up al
meter installation charges by the 10tF
of April with their water bills or wa
ter would be shut off. This brought
on discussion, resulting in the offer
ing Of resolution by Mr.. Roess re
scinding the said resolution. Mr.
Roess offered another resolution
which in substance is that property
owners will be required to pay 81 PEI
month on their water meter till tn,
said meters have been. paid for, o.
whatever balance they owe on same
and this applies as of Jan. 1st, S,
that 50 will now be due and collecta

O'Clock this afternoon, when this and
such other matters as viii require
attention will be taken up. The coun-
ell did not touch the regular business
