City council meeting. Second regular council meeting last Monday evening. An ordinance abolishing Board of Health minority report on water committee reported. The clerk read annual report of Board of Health and ordered to be placed on file. The report of the Water Works trustees was read and on motion was referred to clerk of board with request to be made out as an itemized statement. The report as read shows balance in the treasury 1056.86. Minority report of water committee of council was presented by Mr. Kauke. After reading the report by the Water Works trustees Nov. 7, 1881 approved by water committee and adopted by the council said response recommending the purchase of tract of land belonging to the Robison estate near the Apple Creek bridge and erecting a pumping works therein to increase the supply of water for city by pumping water from the mill race near by into the water mains of the city. Mr. Kauke submitted minority report. We cannot join in the recommendation of the majority report to purchase the 10 ½ acres of land belonging to the Robison estate on north side of the race for 1900 recommended by water works. After expending nearly 100000 without having supply of water which can be depended upon to serve for fire purposes alone, it becomes important that whatever we do in the future and what additional money we spend in so doing as to accomplish the desired object a full supply of clear water for fire and general taste. We object to the purchase as it gives no right to city to control the water and is liable to be turned off at another direction at any time. Second, in case the water should have to be taken from Apple Creek, SW of the bridge, we come in contact with drainage of the city, the paper mill and brewery and in summer season the whole stream from the bridge of the Millersburg Road north to the bridge on Canton Road is a mud hole made so by cattle and hogs wandering and wallowing in the hot days and frequently in dry seasons there is hardly any water running at the south bridge for two to three months of the year. We are fully aware an additional supply of water is necessary. We do not deny in procuring it. But we should not be too hasty without carefully considering the wants of our city. In our judgment, the proper and only safe point to locate a stream boiler and pump at or as near the junction of the two branches of Apple Creek near Stibbs Factory and practically in case of waste water from Stibbs springs is twice as strong as Reddick spring now is and not cost a large sum of within which does not satisfy private customers as a supply for fire. We can use it for some years, but will evidently have to be abandoned. Therefore, we recommend that the Water Works trustees be instructed to make estimates and surveys to suggestions made and report to council at earliest date possible. On motion, the report was received and ordered to be placed on file. On motion, both reports were ordered referred to the Water Works trustees with instructions they investigate subject still further and report as early as possible.
