He slept poorly until a milk wagon horse startled him at dawn as the city began its quake shaken day. Caruso had been in town after an evening at Zinkand's Restaurant and fled the Palace Hotel scene.

Reichlin proposes plan to cut water rates instead
Elyria Mayor Leonard Reichlin said he is drafting a plan to give water users more value, proposing to reduce the minimum bill rather than offer a 10 percent senior discount. He noted the city is not for profit and that administering a senior discount would require a new program and ongoing costs. The issue, tied to an 18 percent discount proposal, faces a committee this week with debate over who pays for changes. The current minimum utility bill is 4.50 dollars, covering water, sewer, and sanitation.
