and balance on hand of sta.
The members of the Epworth
League petitioned the council to close
the opera house on Sundays, stating
that they thought it would have a
tendancy to increase the church at
tendance. The matter was taken I'M
der sdvisement.
President Hillerud reported that
during the month Of February the
council, thinking that it might be a
good idea to try and make some ar
rangements with the Milling Co.
whereby the steam pipes and steam
pump could be left connected with the
Milling Co. boilers and the water
pump be kept hooked up with the
Milling Co.'s plant, had taken up the
matter with Mr.. w. M. Parker, the
manager.
Mr.. Parker submitted a proposition
in writing as follows, viz:
1.-THE Central MINI. Power & Mill
ing Co. agrees to leave the water
wheel and water wheel connections to
the city pump as they now are con-
nected until such time as the afore-
said company decides to make change
in the water wheel system for fur
nishing power to the mill. water
to be used only when the water is go
ing over the dam.)
They further agree to leave the
steam pipes now in connection with
the City pumping plant as they are,
but furnish no steam unless called up
on by the Moyar or City Council, and
then only in case of an emergency
and if called upon to furnish steam
the Mill Co. will render bill that is
fair to both parties, figuring on a
basis of actual cost. The City OF
Sank Centre is to repair and take
care of the up-keep of the above
mentioned.
In compensation for the above the
City of Sank Centre agrees to make
no charge for electricity or water used
by the following: The Central MINI
Power & Milling Co., B. w. Merry
man, w. M. Parker, S. T. Merryman
If the above agreement is agreed
upon same shall be dated as of Feb
LIST 1913. Also the above mentioned
agreement may be cancelled by
either party on giving thirty days
notice."
President Hillerud further stated
that the committee waiting upon Mr.
Parker, preferred to have more de-
finite understanding, and asked for q
proposition on cash basis, whereby
the City might pay the Milling Co. q
stipulated price and charge its re-
gular price for water rental and cur
rent used by the above mentioned
parties. But could get no agreement
from Mr.. Parker on this basis. Mr.
Hillerud then inquired of Mr.. Parker
If the Milling Co. would consider 5000
per annum, just to leave these con-
nections, to be used in case of an
emergency only. But that Mr.. Parker
declined to do.
Pres. Hillerud said he made this
statement, at this time, asking the
Council for its idea, or suggestions fof
further consideration Of this matter.
The councilmen thought if any deal
was made it should be made on cash
basis, as the proposition for free
and unrestricted use Of water and
current by the above named parties
