The City Council of Spanish Fork met Tuesday evening in regular session, ses-sion, Mayor Jones presiding. Report of John W. Robinson lor the quarter ending March 21, 1891, showed eleven cases tried, including eighteen persons. Fines collected were $65.50 and the costs $28. The rules were widely suspended in order to be able to fully discuss the subject of a disagreement now pending pend-ing before the D'strict Court at Provo, between West Field Irrigating Co. as plaintiff, and the Spanish Fork City as defendant. The cause of the disagreement disagree-ment hinges on a misunderstanding as to the meaning and force ot the eighth clause of a decree issued by Judge Judd on the 13th day of February, Febru-ary, 1S90. It reads as follows: "That plaintiff shall pay to Spanish Fork City its full proportion of the reasonable reason-able and necessary expense, according to its interest in water flowing therein, for keeping the mill race and dam in repair." The West Field Co. argues that according ac-cording to the decree they are only required re-quired to pay for keeping the race and dam in repair, and that said payment must be reasonable and necessary, The city admits all this but contends that the West Field Co. should, according ac-cording to the decree, properly interpreted, inter-preted, pay its proportion of water-master's water-master's expenses uccessairly incurred in the management and distribution of the water iu said mill race. It must be understood that, including includ-ing the West Field Co., there are three other parties that draw their amounts of water from the same mill race, and that Spanish Fork City appoints ap-points the general watermaster wh.ise duty is to distribute to all these companies com-panies Iheirproportion of water. Now, the expenses of the watermaster fie, by Spanish Fork City, divided among j these companies according to theii in- j terests in said water. But. the West Field Co. denies the right of i-panish Fork City imposing on it any other j expense than that mentioned directly j in ihe decree, and that said decree does not intend that it shail pay t he j watermaster for any expense what-j ever save for labor performed directly j for itself. j lit yifw of tlie above diversity of! opinion as to the intention of the decre the Council very wisely concluded, con-cluded, and by unanimous vote so ordered, that the recorder inform the West Field Irrigating Co. that Span i ish Fork City ceems it advisable t. ! refer the matter in dispute to the Court that issued the decree for its interpretation in-terpretation on the same, and asks the West Field Irrgating Co. to agree to I tlieabove piopo;:- a. j There is no reason remaining w hy the West Field Irrigating Co. will not I willingly agree to the wciion ot tiie Council, and the subject matter of legislation leg-islation amicably settled. Some miscellaneous business was afterwards disposed of by the Council, the principal matter being tint of live stock intruding on the city property.
