connection with the waterworks were thoroughly cleaned out last week so as to ensure a supply of pure water to the citizens during the summer months It has been ascertained that the total flow of the artesian wells now gallons in hours By a pump on the supply pipes it has been found that the supply can be increased to gals in hours a difference of gals As the steam will be shut off in a few days and the condenser pump is offered for sale the Fire A Light Committee recommended the purchase of an electric pump fur this purpose which can be run when the load is low and thus ensure an abundance of water The estimated cost in cluding freight and installation ia The Council acquiesced in the proposition No Fault of the Council Some citizens who were tardy in Retting their petitions ready for streetoiling are making great complaints now because the streets are not oiled By purchasing road oil in the tank carload the Council was to buy it at per gallon When the car arrived it had to be emptied at once as the rail way charges for every day the ear is delayed on the switch con sequently only those streets were oiled which had the qualified number of signatures on the pe titions To purchase another lot of oil before a carload would be requir ed meant either waste or addi tional expense When bought by the barrel the road oil costs about or lie a gallon against or by the car That is the reason of the delay However the Council decided last Monday evening to purchase alio I her car at once and that will probably do all the streets for the of the season Another season let the Council set a dale when all petitions must be in and then they would know heifer what the ratepayers re quire Police Court On Thursday afternoon of last week before Police Magis trate in Newmar ket
