ted to the ouncil at its regular meeting on
Monday night last. A communication was re
Gel ed frUm Col Frooel. President of the At
lanta and Great Western Canal COMPANY
ma ing proposition to supply the city with
water from the canal. This shows that bg its
charter it has authority to construct a canal
from the CnattahOOchee river to the city of
Atlanta; that it has surveyed and located the
line and procured the right OF way for such
canal. From surveys ana estimates made its
construction is believed 70 be feasible at a cost
justified by the results to be obtained. By such
canal the company claims every demand for
water possible 70 be ma te by this city could be
abundantiy supplied. In quantity and quality
the supply would be adequate to every want
for domestic and manufacturing purposes, for
fires and for sewerage. In view Of the larger
benefits that must accrue to the city from the
construction or Iheir canal, the said company
proposes thst if the city will transfer aud turn
over u il its present system Of water work
and all appurt- -nances, including the right to
furnish waters to consumers within the city at
rates not exceeding the rates now charged BY
the city, the company will construct the canal
and build one or more reserVOi s, from which
clear water in ample quantity can be distri0u
ted for domestic purposes and for fires, ano to
allow the use OF the lower levels of the canal
for sewerage. No charge will be made for any
water consumed by the city so long as the
works OF the company are exempt from city
taxation"
