heard when the aldermen got a bill
from Smith Of the "Dugout" for sand
wiches and coffee served men working
on the water pipe connection near the
"Dugout' Sunday, June 4. The alder
men wanted to know if they were
boarding the workmen in the water de-
partrnent. Said bill was for sandwiches

aldermen did not consider the bill ex-
cessive--no, not that--rather, was the
city going to pay for refreshments for
its servants? That question remains to
be settled. Incidentally, the bill was
paid because it had been included in
bunch of orders from the water SUI
