to be solved by the council In the
year 1912, will be the disposal of the
Mallng water system. The ditches
and Humes of this system have
reached a stage when they will have
to be rebuilt or the city's water right
surrendered. The receipts from tills
system for the year 1911 were only
$124. while the expeuse of muliitcii
a nee was $205.61, which leaves the
balance on the wrong side of Up
ledger. It is my belief that for irri
gation purposes only this system
will never be a pnylng Investment
on the part of the city. Whether
this water will be of suflielent value
to the city for sewer Hushing pur
poses in the future to warrant the
expenditure of the large sum of
money required to rebuild It is dilll
cult to decide and Is a subject which
the council and the citizens of Prlne

your kind co-operation throughout

The menace to public -health by
cesspools tilling up and overflowing
came In for a long discussion. The
matter will be looked after by the
city marshal. And there are other
matters that will take up the spare
time of the marshal. He must In
spect Hues and see that they conform
to the city ordinance. He must get
after the dogs and collect the tax.
He must see that all alleys are kept
clear of obstructions. Ile-anust In
spect sidewalks and see that they
are kept In repair. If the city's cus
todian of the peace should Hud time
hanging heavily on his hands he Is
to get after the stray chickens found
running on the streets. The hens
must be kept up hereafter unless the
owners thereof wants the marslial to
live on a chicken diet.
The question of enforcing the elde
walk ordlnunce cnu-'ed nearly as
long a discussion us the manifold
duties of the marshal. It was the
sentiment of the council that when
new walks were ordered put In they
must be put In. The marshal was
Instructed to enforce the ordinance
but not to cause any unnecessary
hardships In building until the frost;
came out of the ground.
The recorder was Instructed to get
