Through members of the city coun-
Gil il is learned that some acton will
shortly be taken by the municipality
placing the water department on It's
own feet. II is felt that the accounts
of the water department should he
separately kept and that. If this is
done. a more accurate estimate of
costs could be presented annually to
the council. There is no reason why
the watert department should not pay
its own way now and should not also
stand the expense of whatever extern
sions II is necessary to make from
time to time.
