compliance with the current standards. Councilman Voile stated he

stand in the report from the Commission, and if the intervention
that was discussed is forthcoming. Councilman Halsey suggested'

about Capital City Water Company in conjunction with the questions
relating to the Public Service Commission meeting. Councilman
Feldman seconded the motion and it was approved.
