The result of the meeting was simply that inasmuch as the city attorney and several other lawyers in the city had given as their opinion that what is known as the city hall fund of can advanced or loaned to the water and light commission at the same rate of Interest that the fund is now drawing from the bank, and there was no reason why the fund should not be so loaned. Four out of five of the members of the council present gave notice to the commission that at the next meeting of the council, which Is tomorrow night, they would support a resolution to that effect. Those who slgnfled such Intentions were Aldermen Shumate, Crooker, Miller and Von Rosenberg.

Tom Smith was emphatic In his opposition to any such procedure, and said that he would oppose the resolution.

Heretofore there has been a split every time the 19th ot June would roll around. There would always be from two to three factions, each with Its leader, and that many picnics. From indications it se'ems that all the factions have come to an understanding this year, and plans are being made for a grand celebration of the day in Austin. The Watchman, a colored weekly of Austin, has this to say. regarding the coming celebration: "One of our white papers remarked recently that It is about time for the IS UNEXCELLED The Bush Gerts Piano Company of Texas tinue to work the men ai ine piant with only two shifts.

Mr. Miller said that as It was in the power of the commission, according to the city charter, and If the men were satisfied, he could see no reason for a discussion. General Openheimer said that there was not a water and light plant in the state which was not running on a two-shift basis. Mr.

Miller asked Superintendent Bachman how much he had saved by cutting down the extra help. "I can not say yet Just exactly how much will be saved, but my monthly report, which will be ready In a few days, will show exactly how much the expenses have been cut down." "I believe we can Bay that at least $1500 will be saved each month," said General Openheimer. "The movement is a good one and has met the hearty approval of the masses of our people, who see the ne.

Mayor Shelley presided.

Upon the meeting being called to order, Mayor Shelley stated the purpose of the meeting that of having a peace conference, between the water and light commission and the city council. He said that he had Been the city attorney and several other attorneys, and that they had all given as their opinion 'that the city hall fund could be advanced to Tfie commission. He eaid that a resolution was being prepared and would be presented to the city council at the next regular meeting to advance the $12,000 to the water and light commission. It was the purpose of the meeting to have the members of the council and the commission talk over tEe matter and see some agreement could not be reached as to the steps to be taken at the meeting of the council. He gave as his opinion that the money could be advanced to the commission at the same rate of interest as the bank was paying.

Mr. Shumate asked the commission how long they would want the money. General Openheimer, In answer to this question, said that it was impossible to say, but that the commission had certain objects in view for asking the loan, and they were, first, to put the plant In repair so as to obviate the dangers now existing of a complete breakdown; second, to put up a standpipe and such other Improvements as will result in a saving of $25,000 to $30,000 per annum in fuel and at the same time give better service in the higher parts of the city; third, to pay off au indebtedness; fourth, when these three requirements have been met, to reduce the water and light charges to such a rate as will pay expenses and repairs, and fifth, to keep the present expenses of operation to the lowest-point compatible with efficiency. Mr. Shumate asked the general If the water and light commission could keep the minimum down to the present rate of $1.

General Openheimer answered that It would be impossible. It was agreed by the members of the commission that the taVslng of the minimum to $1.50 would work a hardship qn that the city council could loan the money, he was in favor of letting the commission have the money. Butlet the most enjoyable and peaceable event we have ever witnessed, and in expressing his personal opinion said: us have the tower lights turned on, IT'S A PLEASANT THING To have your work done cleanly, neatly, promptly and satisfactorily.

There was not any specified number of months in which this amount of water was to be taken, but it was understood that the agreement was to last until winter. The question is now up to the street sprinklers to raise the price for sprinkling, to make any profit on their work. They claim that they now take in on an average of $6 per day, which will leave them losers $1.50 per day.

This was settled yesterday afternoon when a committee appointed by the Retail Merchants' association at its last regular meeting appeared before the water and light commission to urge that some steps be taken to keep up sprinkling the streets. Joe Harrell, G. W.

Pater son, J. J. Burney and S. M. Burt, as the committee, were present and took the matter up with the commission and reached an agreement by which the street sprinklers will pay at the rate of 1-4 cents per thousand gallons.

The sprinklers agreed to take forty loads per day for each wagon, each load to be 750 gallons. There being four wagons in use, this agreement will call for 160 loads per day at 150 gallons each, which will make 120,000 gallons used on the streets daily. At 6 1-4 cents per thousand this will cost the sprinklers not less than $7.60 for water; The' sprinklers agree- to take this amount of water throughout the summer months, making any allow- MMrinRkthK. tuiuinitiee or ten to see the business If eaanot supply the nw b.b accept no ottter. but send far Ulnitrued book-uM.

The street car company will thus come in for a large part of the expenses of sprinkling the Avenue. At the present rate for the sprinkling, some of the merchants pay one dollar, and others pay half that sum. The commission was of the opinion that the price should be raised considerably for the work.

The business league will take up the matter and appoint these committees to see the merchants. It may be that the contract will be let by the blocks and not by the individuals. It Is not known Just what steps will be taken by the league. At any rate the prices for sprinkling will be raised considerably or there will be no sprinkling. The agreement by which the sprinklers will take a certain amount of water each day does away with the necessity for the meters.

It was estimated that these meters would cost the sprinklers about $550. which would have made sprinkling practically out of the question. By the present agreement a certain amount of water will have to be paid for whether it is used or not.
