"Nine taxpayers: They will be appointed to investigate the city's needs: The mayor to select them: Director Bigelow requested the appointment be made: He sent a letter to councils: The commission will examine the questions of water supply and improvements of parks, boulevards and public buildings—Mayor McKenna will probably announce to-day the names of the gentlemen who are to do this important work—will all be business men."
