New Water Rate Adopted After Five Years Of Negotiations

The measure, endorsed by Henry Semple Ames and Mayor Brown, sets a substantial city improvements program including a unitary pumping plant and new fire hydrants. Also settled was the Parker Washington suit with the city to receive $10,000 and costs, while relinquishing claims for damages against the company and forfeited bonds. Payroll for March totals 347 944.51 with general-fund salaries down about 31,000 from February. An electric sign at the Majestic Theater received approval, and rules for circus street shows were adopted. Confetti restrictions at carnivals drew debate but were left to Chief Lancaster’s discretion. Daughters of the American Revolution were authorized to erect a Shastelum under a resolution.
