Water Ke.Hn. Superintendent lnglc, of the water de partment, asked the board what he should do about collecting water rents Irom the Young Men's Christian associa tion. There was a lengthy discussion on this subject. Mr. Starncs was a friend, lie said, to the Y. M. C. A., but if the churches bad to pay for the water they used, the Y. M. C. A. ought to do so. Mr. McDowell said every consumer of the city should pay. The "mnyor said the use of water iu Asheville should be encouraged, and he would like to see the Y. M. C, A. have water free.
