The question of increasing the discitys water supply was then cussed and deliberated on. There were two propositions advanced, one was to tunnel for water at the head of our present water tap, and the other to follow up the river about a mile and a half and tap the river. This later proposition seems to be the most feasible step by our present city administration to take. It will probably involve the city in law suits and other complications.' but as the presfnt council has given this matter a great deal of attention and have asked legal, advice, it see mi! probable that this is the most reasonable course to .follow. No definite conclusion could be reached but finally a motion was made to the effect that the matter be left with the city council to do as they deemed best in what steps to take in improving the water system. This matter is still open for discussion and our columns are open to anyone who may wish to express their ideas in regard to this matter, or for the discussion of any othi r questions of a public nature.
