WATER MAINS TO BE EXTENDED TO FACTORY ADD.

City Connell Makes Rate For Electric Current for Power—Other Doings of the Council. At the meeting of the city council Monday evening the city attorney was directed to prepare an ordinance fixing the rate for electric current to be used for power at 8 cents per kilowat for the first 200 kilowats and 5 cents per kilowat for additional current used during any month. The mayor was authorized to sign a contract with the United States Match Factory for an extension of the water mains to the factory addition. The factory people are to put in the extension at their own expense, the city to furnish their water at the rate of 5 cents per 1,000 gallons, they to have the right to sell to patrons in the factory addition and to those within the corporation furnished by the extension. The city is to have the right to buy the extension of the factory people at any time upon payment of the cost of the extension with 6 per cent added. About four blocks of the extension will be within the city limits. The assesments were approved on the alleys through blocks 3 and '4. A declaratory resolution was approved for an alley through block 9. A petition of Abe Wartena for a street light was referred to the light committee.
