Water Comâ€" mission for increased water supply, as outlined by Spperintendent M. Pequegâ€" net at the Council meeting _ Monday evening were referred to the Finance Committee for {urtier consideration, the majority of the members present being of the opin:on that to pass a moâ€" tion recommending the scheme _ withâ€" out proper consideration of the same and with a number of meinbers absent, would not be _ /~ the _ interests _ of the municipality. Proposal to Secure Addi tional Waté The proposals. as explained by Mr. Pequegnat. provided for the necessary increase in the ciiy‘s wuter supply for the next few years. At the present time the needs of the consumers are just being inel witb the amount betug secured from Waterloo, Within the past two years the increage in _ conâ€" sumption has been greater than it was in the five years prvvionis, thus making it clear that at the present rate of in crease, it will not be long before the supply not available will be _ fnade quate. Plan A would cost the city approxiâ€" mately $310,000. It is the proposal to secuie additiona‘ water _ from _ the Bridgeport wells and wou. require the crection ol a pump‘rg _ station there, a small reservcir ard _ a lange reservoir and pumping stalon â€" at the top ef the Lancastâ€"r >treet â€" Hill to bring the water in to the . city. It would also require a system of large mains fer the conveying of the supply. Plan B, at a cost of $228.000 providâ€" es for the filteration and use of river water. This, explained As. Pequegnat, will become a necessity within a few years. 9: Plan C calls for a daplicate system of mains through the industrial part of the city, for additional fire protecâ€" tion. Its cost is estimated at $427.000, At the present time, the only plan under consideration is Plan A, which Mr. Pequegnat had submitted _ to the Council for their â€" endorsement. . It will be considered at the mest meeting of the Finance Committee. Parking Byâ€"law Deferred. There was little discussion on _ the present Kirg Street parking situation, When the petition of 142 Kiig strect owners and tenants was reac _ in the communications, it was referrer _ to Finance witheut discussion and _ «he only reference made to it was _ when the question of the date of the next meeting came up. In the report of the Finance Comâ€" mittee the date of the next _ meeting had been meniioned as | Thursday of this week. Mayor Eden, in _ reading the report deicted the . date. This brought in a motion and _ an _ amendâ€" ment. The motion of Ald. Ratz, secâ€" onded by Ald.

Armbrust called for the Finance meeting on its usual date. Aug. 12. On a vote, the amendment was lost. The vote on the original motion provâ€" ed a tie which Mazor Eden broke, carrying the motion. Alderman Lang expressed the opinion that the delaying of the next Finance imeeting | was a mistake made with the intention _ of delaying the consideration | _ of _ the parking byilaw. | This. he declared, was a measure which should never > have been passed and should be taken . off the lu')oks as soon as fin#siblo.
