Do the merchants, business me

<■1 decision.
Is this then, a question of
I'hoi cage of water? In the oU con-'
tract a pro vision is made where- i
b/ II the case of a threatened short
age of wateP a committee shal' be |
appointed, one representative from
the Council, one from the HomeTo,v
er Co, and a disinter®steds party
to 'ook into the matter, and If in
the Judgement of this Committee
It to felt that a shortage is imin
ent, tt«ps looking to rC->trlc:ion,on
use of water may bo taken. Ha
it cv«*r happened that such a cot. |
mitto- lias been appointed? Ir i
has never occurred, thanks too th.
fore'ight cf the Home Power Com-i
pany in carefui'y looking after the
feupwy.
I Tliree years Ago' was 3onsider°J |
the h?rdest winter ever experien»- j
ed in Skagway, winter set i j

were probably ono auadred and !
fifty people more in Skagway tho- I
there are now, yet tho ma<ny peo
ple jet their faucet3 run to k»ep
from freezing, ao scarcity of wat
v.as noted, so that the restrict
I'm is not on that account.
T i» question then, Is, will the City
Count i[o "ign a contract Ui which i
asr'es to order a mail's Wa'er
shut off if 10 transgi-<iascs in on

And if til© Council refoses'to
