Other members also said they were familiar with the story nnd then It was decided to sum mon Mr. Horn. 1 The story told by Mr. Horn to the councilmcn is concerned with efforts of Mr. Putney to get the city to lay water I pipes to supply his factory in Frunk- I ford. For a number of years, Mr. Putney hns been endeavoring to get the city to put iu the desired Improvements by running 11 pipe lino to his plnut.
