terminus of the aio proposed ased extension of the mains on G street between eighth and ninth streets half a block northward 8 J coombs and others from the present terminus on fourth street between N and 0 streets three blocks eastward on fourth street and southward on 0 street to first street W T cramer and others from the terminus of the proposed extension on H street between fourth and third streets one block southward C 0 whittemore and others from the terminus of the mains on fifth street one block westward tue the report was adopted t UNJUST PROTESTS the committee on waterworks water works made the following report the recommendations of which werd adopted opted your committee to whom was referred the petition of W E pack mr livingston and others tor for extensions of the mains report as follows upon careful consideration of the matter maiter involved we find that the petitioners petition ers have bebik beai unjustly deprived of benefits derived from froin the use of said water by the protests of persons who are now availing themselves of its ise through private pipes several persons residing within the limits of the districts which were to be supplied protested and thereby defeated the petitions and prevented the extensions being made we find that man many of the persons signing thep protests are pup supplied plied with water from the maiss mains through private vate pipes and that the conditions upon which the permits to connect such private pipes with the mains when granted were that the service should be Ois discontinued continued at the pleasure of toe the council your committee consider it oppressive and unjust that persons who have obtained special privileges heretofore from the city should now by their protests prevent residents who are willing to pay a tax necessary to co lay mains tor for obtaining a needful supply of ef water to their premises they would therefore recommend that in all cases where parties are now availing themselves of the use of water by said special permits and protest against a regular extension of the water mains that the superintendent of water works be directed to detach and disconnect all ail such private pipes from the mains A SEWERAGE DISTRICT the following report was received asid and adopted your committee on municipal laws with the citco cit attorney associated to whom was referred the subject of establishing tab lishing boundaries of a sewer district for this city to be called sewer district no 1 have given the matter careful consideration and report as follows we flud find from mr lownes Low ries plans and suggestions that he be presents two systems of later els a double and a single line of pipes his preference being ziven given to the double line system on account of the great width of our streets and the expense of maki making ug house connections to a single sewer to the bertre of the streets As to which system is the best beat one for our use has not yet been determined upon by the council the location of the boundaries of sewer districts will depend greatly upon the determination of I 1 this question because where a single pipe is laid in the centre of the street pire W with th house bouse connections from both sides the lines should be through the I 1 centre of the block and where double pipes were used the line can be drawn through the centre of the street believing that this should first be determined your committee considered the mattar and are of the opinion that the council will adopt the DOUBLE PIPE SYSTEM on account of the economy in the making of house connections t the lle convenience ven veni tence ence of establishing district boundaries I 1 in u the centres bentres of the SL and on accod account nt of the centres bentres of the streets being so encumbered with railways telephone poles etc and the probability of them being more encumbered we therefore recommend that the boundaries of sewer district no I 1 be declared to be as follows commencing at the intersection of the centres bentres of north temple and first west streets thence east to the centre of firt east street thence south to the centre of south h temple street I 1 thence east to the centre of second east street thence south to the centre of fourth foulch south street thence west to the cen centre of first west street thence north to the place of beginning these boundaries are the same as recommended by mr lowrie except those all east and north of first east and south temple streets from where those streets intersect has been stricken out we present an order for the establishment of the sewer district no 1 in accordance with these recommendations and urge its adoption after the fixing of the boundaries of the sewerage district a discussion arose as to the cost some ot of the members believed ct mr dowries Low ries estimate of to be too low and thought tor for the improvement be nearer the actual cost fin ally it was decided to advertise tor for bids for the work ac according corling to the plans submitted The recorder submitted the proof of the bonds to be issued by the city after some discussion the design wai was adopted BUSINESS increasing the mayor stated that the business of the city had increased so of late that the reco recorder ider had to work night and day and even then was behind the recorder was authorized to employ another assistant at a salary of 1600 a year the sum sani of was appropriated to pay tor for the new fire engine the treasurer was authorized to borrow for corporation purposes there being no protest against the extension of the mains on second street the improvement was ordered protest having been filed against the proposed extension cx ex on east fern pie street the matter was referred to the recorder
