Now Put op or Shut Up.

A special meeting of the city council was held Friday night and it was agreed to accept the match factory people’s proposition of a minimum rate ST $l5O per year for five years for the water used by them—if they use any at all —and extend the water mains to the corporation line where the factory people are to take it up and extend it to the factory on the terms heretofore agreed. ■ The factory people agree to deposit $1,200 in bank before the city begins work on the extension, to pay for extending the mains from the city limits to the factory, and to also deposit $5,000 in bank to pay off all existing leins and claims against the factory. If they go ahead and do this it will look a little as though thev meant to -do something with the factory building, and the creditors are enxiously waiting to see the color of their money.
