COUNCIL MEETING.
Waterworks Question Discussed and
Committee Appointed
Investigations.
to Make
s
The city council met Tuesday
night in regular session, every
member being present.
A petition was read, asking
the council to take some action
towards securing for the town a
system of waterworks. The
matter was discussed informally
by the council, and all of them
are favorable to the proposition,
but they are disposed to act
cautiously in the matter, and for
that reason decided that certain
investigations in regard to' a
supply of water should be made
before proceeding further. A
committee, consisting of Messrs.
Douglas, Love and Churchill,
was appointed, and they will
investigate the supply propo-
sition, and if necessary employ
a civil engineer for the purpose
of assisting them. The town is
already in possession of the sur-
veys made by Mr. Barnes over
a year ago, but several supply
points have been suggested that
were not gone over by him. This
committee will take the matter
in hand right away, and nothing
further can be done until they
report.
The question of fixing the tax
rate for the coming year was
next discussed, and an ordinance
was passed fixing the rate at 25
cents on the one hundred dollars’
valuation, the present rate be-
ing 20 cents. The reason for
making the raise is that the city
is now slightly in debt for cur-
rent running expenses, and it
is desired that all bills shall be
paid promptly. With a 25 cent
tax rate on the present valuation
about $1800 will be raised, and
when occupation taxes are added
to this the total revenues will
amount to a little over $2000 per
year.
The street committe was given
further rime to report. They
are negotiating for the opening
of a forty foot street from the T.
& N. O. crossing on Bolton street
to an intersection with the pub-
lic road running to Craft, on the
east side of the Cotton Belt. The
street is all secured except a
little strip on the land of C. S.
Bolton. The property owners
along the line of the new street
are to pay all expense of open-
ing.
After hearing the usual re-
ports and transacting routine
business, the council adjourned.
