COUNCIL PAYS
WATER COMPANY
UNDER PROTEST
_ I
i
The Council met last night and de-1
cided that it was up to them to pay ;
the city water bill, and today there is
not a man in the camp but can look j
every hydrant in the face and say,
“You’re paid for, and in case we have !
a tire, you’ve got to help!”
The big wrangle between the City
Dads and the Water Company was
settled with but one dissenting vote, j
As soon as the matter was brought up, !
Boe moved that the water bill be paid
in full and that the clerk be instructed
to draw a warrant in payment of the j
same. The motion was qualified to j
the effect that the council considers
the bill excessive; that payment is)
made under protest and is made at
this time in order to stop a lot of talk
on the streets accusing the council of i
allowing the town ne be without ade- i
quate tire protection: and further, that j
the council reserve the right to an;
action in law to recover what they
deem to be excessive charges, said !
action to be commenced at any time |
the council sees tit. A copy of the;
voluminous protest accompanies thej
remittance to the Water Company.
The motion was seconded by Noon j
and a roll call showed that the motion
prevailed.
Bills were presented and ordered j
paid, including one by John Duberui) !
for the repairing of a sidewalk under j
the direction of the previous council.
There was nothing done in the mat
ter of building a bridge at Fourth ave- j
Due over the glacier stream. Boe re
ported that it would take the oile j
driver two days to drive the necessary >
piling, and moved that the work ho *
done under tne direction of the mayor,
but the motion died for lack of a sec
ond.
Noon wanted to clear otf Third ave- ;
nue, between Washington and Adams
streets, and pointed out ilie necessity
of doing the same as a passageway for
” • 1
fire apparatus and stated that in his
opinion the work could he done for at
most two hundred dollars. The propo
sition was discussed and finally, as the
council seemed to be short of seconds
last night, the suggestion went the
way of the Boe motion, and was lost.
The clerk was ordered to pay over j
to the school treasurer the sum of |
$2.8-12.95 for the school work during
the coming tei m.
f Graef made several motionshaving!
to do with the improvement of the
glacier stream, the driving of piling!
and the protection of the water mains
that were uncovered at that point, but!
could get no one to second his motions
and they were lo-^t.
Noon finally moved to adjourn and
Tozier spoke right up and seconded |
the motion, and it w'ent through with
a rush._

TO BE BUSY ONE
FOB THE GUIDES
The licensed guides of the peninsula
will have a busy season. More big
game hunters are coming this year
than for years past, and* every guide
will have at least one party, while
some of them will accompany two par
ties.
The Texas party, with Crit Tolman
and A1 Chamberlain as guides, is now
on the hunting grounds.
The Knglish noblemen are coming
on the Northwestern, which will ar
rive tomorrow. These gentlemen have
engaged Andrew Simons and Charles
n n

Mr. and Mrs. James Morris are ex
pected here this month. John Gi!
patrick and Charles Kmsweiler will be
their guides.
Captain Kleinschmidt’s party, the
biggest of all, should reach here the

will compose this party. Four guides

native to the northland will serve to
graphically illustrate the lectures. It
is his plan to arrange for* personally
conducted hunting parties.
