taken care OF by them, as they were
alone TO blame for them and not the

requested TO take the matter up with
these men and see il he could arrange
an equitable settlement.
]. II. Poole of the Atlantic Bitulith-
lie company addressed the council and
appeared to be very much peeved be-
cause the long standing bill of their
company had not been paid. He in
sisted that they needed the money
and must have it. and took the posi-
lion that the council had been derelict
in the issuance and marketing Of the
bonds they had ordered for the taking
care of this matter He said the
bonds should have been issued six
months before they were, and that
now they were issued, they should be
marketed.
After considerable discussion pro

they were issued

said that Engineer Smith, who he said
was mighty good man in most re
spects. was not taking as kindly as he
thought he should to the suggestions
of Engineer Main. who is an expert,
but whose system and Instructions,
Mr. Smith dubs as book worm bust

that the cost of operating the water
plant be reduced to a minimum and
i that Engineer Smith make an accu-
rate. regular account at least once d

items OF expense so that both Mr..
Wilson and the council could act in
diligently on the bills as they were
presented Other members of the
council appeared to agree with him.
