SHORT COUNCIL MEETING.
Water Supply Investigators Will Not
Have Complete Report Ready.

According to Mayor G. A. QuigIey
and members of the special commit
tee on investigating the Burlington
water tunnel plan, tomorrow nights
meeting of the common council will
develop nothing but an adjournment.
Although the special committee has
worked hard to compile a complete
report on the water department )
! plan the work was so extensive that
all data and details have not yet been
secured and until they are. and inter
ested parties are given an Opportun-
ity to explain their views, no fair re-
port can be made. Hence, at tomor-
row nights meeting a motion for
further adjournment will probably be
made.
This afternoon Mayor Quigley,
Chairman O. T. Curtis, City Engineer
w H. Hall and members of the spe-
caI committee went over the entire
watershed in Burlington and Wing
Vile in order to have a more init
mate knowledge of exact conditions

High Wind, Rain, Thunder and
Lightning Awake Many People
About Two O'clock this A. Nj.

The southeast wind which had pre-
vailed yesterday and during the ear
" part of last night changed to the
west and northwest about two o'clock
this morning, and for time "blew
great guns" bringing heavy showers
Of rain, which were accompanied by
thunder and lightning. The fierce
blasts soon diminished in force, how
ever. but an hour or two later broke
out again with renewed vigor and the
flashes came heavy and frequent until
after daybreak.
During the prevalence of the high
wind an electric light pole on Wash
ington street extended was blown
down. and branches were twisted from
trees in nearly every section OF the
cjty. In some cases trees, which had
long been hollow, and dead, were
blown over. The roof Of house on
north Columbus street was carried
away and the smokestack of the Ban
ner Laundry was blown down.
There is reason to believe that
storm of greater force prevailed some
where southeast Of this city during
the night, and that Alexandria was
struck by the "tail-end" of the dis
turbance. The temperature during
the early part O. thee night was rath-
er too high for comfort, but after
the northwest wind had set in cooler
conditions prevailed
