that there were none which were held
in higher public opinion so generally by
the people all over the east, than Empo-
ria. This remark ELECTED hearty ap-
plause.
S. B. Warren responded to his name
by saying that he was in entire harmony
with all projects looking toward this
city's welfare and said that no man
"would go farther to help Emporia" than
he. He said regarding the
waterworks that during his
recent administration the council In exss
ecutive session had summoned four Of
our best attorneys to advise them
about the removal, etc. He said that all
had agreed that the first thing to do was
to procure the night of way, as it were,
to the water, and that to get
this right the attorneys advised the con-
demnation of all land adjoining the
banks of both rivers, possibly to the
Hartford dam and perhaps through the
county. He referred to the suit against
the city by the owner of the old
Humphrey dam as probably to
be decided against Emporia. He
said the condemnation would possibly
cost 5000. He referred to the fact that
the bonds, $4,000, issued to build the
water works had never been paid, even q
dollars worth, and said that in his opin-
ion the best thing to do under the cir
cumstances for the present was to ar
range with Bill Soden, whom
he thought not 30 bad q
man maybe as some people
supposed, for water few years longer.
To extend twelve inch supply pipe up
from the present works, above the mouth
OF the ravine, and get along as best We
could during the life Of the
present machinery, about five
years longer. Then he said
new machinery coald be put wherever it
seemed best. Mayor Warren referred to
the packing house project and said he
would be one of twenty-five to put in
$4,000 into this scheme, which he re-
garded as one of the best in the way Of
commercial industries.
Mr.. Cross referred to the apparent in
disposition shown heretofore by home
capitalists to invest money in manufac.
tories, as accounted for by the fact that
manufactures had promised much
smaller rates of interest on the invest
ment than cattle, lands, ETC., but that
now the days of big profits
in cattle growing in this country were
passed, and men must look to smaller
returns and would now naturally look to
manufactures and other Industries. Mr..
Gross stated that with the new st. LOUIS
and Emporia road, we would be able to
get coal here to wholesale consumers for
$2.25 per ton.
After some further talk, the resolution
proposed was passed, and the following
committee named accordingly by the
chairman: II. c. Cross, c. V. Eskridge,
G. Hood, Il. C. Whitley, G. W. New
man. L. w. Lewis, d. w. Holderman.
