the WaterwOrks Deal.

MIR. James P. Donahue, president of
the Davenport Waterworks company,
who is negotiating for the purchase of
the Davenport watorworks. stated in
conversation with an ARGUS reporter
Saturday that in his dealings here he
does not represent the Davenport Water
company, but would buy them in his own
behalf and in the interest of capitalists
who nre abundantly able to put the works
in good shape after paying for hem. 1t
was mistake, Mr.. Donahue said, for the
people OF Rock Island To fear an increase
of water rates, should private individuals
come into possessi on of the works. Said
Mr.. Donahue: THE water rates in Rock
Island are higher than in Davenport.
The way we will seek 10 derive decent
returns on their investment is by incress
ing the number of consumers. There
are about 1000 wafer takers in the city
Well, 1t would cost the company no more
10 supply 1900 than 1000. 1t would
take u little more coal and no more
men. That is ny idea; make the
rates so that the people will take
water. If his party is successful in its
negotiations, new pumps of the latest
and best patterns will be put in as soon
as possible. thus increasing the usefulness
OF the works for fire purposes, and the
capacity for private consumption. The
people will pay less for their water then
they do now"
Another proposition is in the minds of
the gentlemen who are behind Mr. Dona>
hue. 1t is to purchase the Moline water
works also, and un tie the two systems
make them assist each other. In that
event the Moline alter works would also
he enlarged. In few days the mayor
and aldermen of this city will visit
the Davenport works by invitation of Mr.
Donahue, and make inspection of them"

Tonight the excruciatingly funny
comedy, The Bad Boy" is to be pre-.

is founded on Peck's series of amusing
tales which were printed in the Mil
waukee Sun few years ago The
characters are well assorted and the play
built for laughing purposes only.

show up in time to fill its engagement a,
