( ’AN IK) FOR YOU, MR. ADVERTISER.
The Spokesman
At the regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday night tha liquor or
dinance waa amended by requiring
all saloons to be without aldo door
entrances. Otherwise the ordinance
remains practically as originally en
acted.
It waa stated at the meeting that
(he water mains of the new water
system were leaking badly, from 10,-
000 to 60,000 gallons a night, so
that there was not much pressure on
the mains In the early morning or
forenoon. It Is understood that no
means have yet been taken to reme
dy the trouble.
A communication was received
from Jefry Ai Button, the contractors
who built the water works plant In
the city, asking the council to pay
them about $261 above the contract
price. The council was willing to
pay )3 6.000 flat tor the plant, but
would not grant the additional lum
asked by the contractors, snd the
plant has not yet been accepted from
the contractors, though the city Is
using the water and allowing water
users to attach to the mains.
Permission was given to erect
electric light signs In front of store
buildings after a permit had been
obtained from the city recorder.
