A question arose on the improving 01 our city water, as many complaints nave been entered about the unpleasant tante. The Mayor was in lavor of trying to remedy this delect if the expense was not too great. The general opinion is that me creek is too low.

it was also stated that sickness could Le caused from the water and AlUermun stated lhat the Oily, in his opinion, could not be held responsible, as the water plaril was not installed to furnish water lor unnking purposes. 1 he uiy had asked the B. 0. to furnish them filtered water from their new plant, for use in the boilers at the power house, but the Railroad Co. asks a charge of 25c per 1,000 gallons, which, was.

very unsatisfactory to the Under the present water contract no mention was made of the installation of this water soft- I ener and as more water is now being used by the Railroad Co. the City leels that they should be supplied with filtered water. A lower price will be asked for by the City, and Schoene-berg moved that the Water Light Committee be given full power to act on this matter, which motion carried. Henry Fonke, a salesman for the General Electric Company, aopeared before the Council, asking why the contract which he presented last October was not renewed. He Btated it would save the City 2V4'o on their purchases, and said something must oe wrong about the understanding of chc contract.

He also said that marry other cities are buying their electrical goods under this G. E. contract. Alderman Casey said the City desires to buy on the open market, and that he was of the impression that the G. E.

Company was trying to get all the business in order to "squeeze" out other companies, so that later they could charge high prices. The contract price for furnishing water for the wash house was reduced Iroin $0 a year to $175 per year as a result of fewer men being employed at the mine. At the time the old contract and price was made ur, about men worked at the North Mfne while now there are only about half that number. The rate on furnishing water for the boilers will remain at" $420 per year. report from Supt.

Frank Kuhls, for the year 1930 was then presented, showing the number of K. W. hours produced last year as well as the a-mount of water used. Mr. Casey congratulated the Superintendent for the tine woik he is doing at the power plant Alderman Schoenberg stated that he had noted where the Harrisburg City Council passed a resolution to present to the state in asking for a share of 1 cent in the gas tax.

A bill will be brought up in the next legislature asking for this. Schoone-berg moved that the Clerk, City Attorney and Mayor be authorized to draw up a resolution to be sent to the members of the legislature, and state senator, in order to try and get a share of the gas tax. Before drawing the meeting to a close, complaints were made of cer tain citizens dumping ashes and rubbish in alley. Steps will be taken to put a stop to this habit.

Kmier Aimer, Chief of Poll and I vie Kanley were silling in l-uiiir uwimnuhiie in front of the po- thai night and t.t about tth ne in uoiik'tii iiuriiinir. ami honking lie lii. i it lu gel other car out of the uy. 'I in- on icers realized that ihey mm take a iiamj in the mailer, and pii'sued the reckless driver, who by unit time had a good lead. The story Irm tiience luiiuws, as lold by Chief inter ocloie lite coioiier's Jury: At llu Luuner tilling station wnere the toad loiks he seemnd to slow up peicepin.ly i.ci we drovj up a.ong-sule ul nun mounding the siren of the police cur und Manning the electric light which Hiowcd piuinly that we were ponce oihceis.

Mr tasley also culleu lo him thut we were police. I do not think Ihut he could possibly nuve hud any uoubt about who we Acre. He rciuxcd to hti our signals to slop and put en full speed, Al the m-rbsl tilling station we were almost -even wan u.m uguin nut he would not heed our signals to stop or pay any attention to our siren. Before we gol to the subway Easley fired two shots in the air to sec if that would slop him. He did not heed and we followed farther.

Every time we would get up about even with him he would turn his car so as to force us off the slab. Easiey began firing to try punctunng a and emptied two revolvers trying to do so. He also tried to hit the gas tank but seemingly could not. He later tried with a not gun and fired three ineffective shots with that. A short distance east of the Pierron we got up even with him again and he turned the car and cut right in at us.

Realizing that if we were to stop him we would have to shoot directly at the driver, 1 told Easley to do so. I think he fired two shots from the riot gun after that, the last one of which evidently hit the driver for he slumped down in the seat and the car went out of control running off the road to the left into an open field and across the -side road leading to the Herman Stetner place where it struck state highway sign and swerved, backto-ward the hard road tor a stop. I went up to the car and could see that the driver was gasping slightly. Realizing he had been killed I stopped a west bound motorist and told him to stop at Highland, to tell a doctor, Highway Patrolman Clanton and Deputy Coroner B. D.

Tibbets to come out there." L. J. Noser of St. a brother of the deceased, stated that the deceased had left St. Louis Friday to go to Chicago to seek employment at carpenter work.

He also said that the deceased had suffered a nervous breakdown in November and had been a patient at the City Hospital in St. Louis for a week or more. Mr. Noser was 41 years of age, and was married, the father of two He had been out of work in St. Louis and was going to Chi-cago to see if he could get work there.

He had carpenter tools with him. It is reported he had quarreled with, his family before- leaving home, and his pockets were full of letters and papers. A pint bottle of whiskey about half full was also found in the car. MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO. SENDS OUT STATEMENT The annual statement of the Breese Clinton County Mutual Fire Insurance Co.

Bartelso, Germantown, Albers and New Bader, because of an official communication received yesterday from H. H. Cleave-land, Director of Public Works and Buildings, by county and city officials. The notice announced that: "Having investigated all of the proposed locations for State Bond Issue Route No. 161, between Cariyle and Scott Field, and having held a final hearing, t'ie Department of Public Works Buildings announces the choice of the location described below for the State Bond Issue Route 161 between' the points named.

The starting point is described as at the south end of the paved highway, on the Black Diamond Trail, thence south across the Baltimore Ohio Railroad to a point a short distance north of the dirt fill to the new State Highway Bridge over the Kaskaskia River, and in a westerly direction to the Carlyle-Bartelso road. Following the general location and relocations of tha existing road, the Southern Railroad will be crossed east of Bartelso. As located, the main road will pass through Carlyle and Bartulso, but miss Germantown, Albers and New Baden. The next move is for the Clinton County Board of Supervisors officially to accept the route, then proceed with obtaining the right of way. The construction of the highway south from Carlyle means, that it will be a link in the Carlylex-Nashville road, which is expected in a few years.
