A Radical Reduction of Hydrant Hentals Promised Attorney Bid- die's Sudden Death — Bishop O'Connor's Successor. An lmportant Proposition, The council committee on fireand water- works held a lengthy conference with Pres- fdent Underwood of the American water- works company yesterday for tho pur posc of discussing plans for the extension of the eity's fire bydrant service. The council men who comprised the delogation to the con- ference were Mesars, McLoarse, Shriver, Whecler, Chaffee ana Davis, The city's po sition, as detined by the committes, is this: There are now 1,100 fire hydrants in the city on which a yearly rental of nearly $50,000 is being paid; the present condition of the water reot fund is only suffi- cient fo pay for _the hydrants aiready in use and prevents the city from giving much nceded protection from firc to resident property in the suburbs, The committee requested a reduction of the rato of hydrant rental, President Underwood, after considering the matter at some length with tho commit- teo cutlined a proposition which he said tho company would present to the council, The proposition provides that the council shall subinit to the peoplo the question of extend- g tho fime ar which the city shall have tho option of purchasing the waterworks plant to twenty-five years from date. Under the present “contract and charter this date falls in thirteen years. If the voters deciare in favor of granting tho extension tho waterworks company will_put in 400 ad- ditional hydrants, making 1,500 1% all, at a yearly reatal that will not exceed the amount now ‘being paid for the 1,100 hydrants als ready inuse. The average' prico now paid for hydrants is $0 per year. Under the provosed arrangement the ‘cost, with 400 by drants added, would be reduced to £53 cach er year. As the city grows and the num- er of hydrants is increased it 18 proposed to further reduce the cost so that when tnere are 5,000 hydrants in use the average cost of each por year will be but $30, or £00,000 for 3,000 nydrants, or $10,000 in excess of what i8 now being paid for' 1,100 hydrants. The members ot the committeo were very favorably impressed with tne proposition. “They claim it is tho best plan yet considerod for providing the outlying distriots with the 80 much needed fire protection. * ———— Dr. Birney,practice limited to catarrh- &l diseases of nose and throat.

Mr. Berlin moved that this portion of the minutes be corrected, on the ground that if the minvtes showed what® was done there could be no protest, but Mr. O'Keeffe opposed any such action, The chairman started to explamn tho situation in s lucid way, but Mr. O'Keeffs informad the chamwman that it was his pluce to ask questions and state motions, but if he wanted to take part in devates he should call some one to the chair. A spirited spat followed, but the incipient row was quieted. The minutes were finally approved as read Mr. Berlin stated that he had received a telegram frem Arcintect Myers which he re- quested bo rend, Tho telecram stated that Mr. Myers had received the requost of the board, but the dangerous illness of s wifo had prevented his attendance.
