CITY CONTRACT FOR

Perpetual Water Right Secured By the

Gallagher springs has passed into the
possession of the city of Athena, and
within the next year the pure crystal
waters of the springs 'will pulsate with
power through the strong iron mains of
the city's water system. C

in its place will be established a gravity

' This increase is due to the fact that
tile drainage pipe with loose joints is

capacity of feeders. On the Gallagher

100 arrests were made and 50 persons in

yesterday. The socialist labor party
had planned a big anti-government dem

had issued warnings to prevent congre

contained notices not to gather, and , ap

Despite these notices, however, the

be somewhere on the Coppock place
east of town, where elevation is assured
for pressure. , -
By torms of the contract entered into
with the city council by Ray Gallagher
and his guardian, which has been duly
signed, Mr, Gallagher received $150
for the right of the city to enter his
premises and develop th springs. In
event the water should prove inadequate
Mr. Gallagher retains the 8150 and the
city vacates;,, but should the supply
prove satisfactory the young man is o

purposes free of all charge, forever.
Mr. Gallagher, on signing the contract
received the $150 and work of develop
ing the water supply will begin with
the opening of spring.
' During the preliminary discussion of
the contract by the council, Mr. Gal
lagher's offer of $1250 was opposed by
Councilman Barrett, who thought the
price exorbitant, but Councilmen Kirk
and Gross and Mayor Taylor favored
giving the price, and Mr. Barrett stated
he would not starid in the way of con
summating the deal.
The present pumping plant will be
maintained with the exception of the
tank. In case' anything should go
wrong with the gravity - system or in
event of a so vera lire the pump cbb be
used directly on the mains. With thig
object in view the council yesterday
purchased a new 30 horse power boiler,
