The WaterWorks Contract Close d.
Mr.. J. L. Ludlow, to whom the con-
tract for putting in the waterworks was
here Saturday according to appoint
ment and closed the matter up with
the Board Of Commissioners by filing
his written acceptance with the Clerk
of the Board, and giving bond in the
sum Of 100000. Some changes and
notifications were made regarding the
source of supply and the means to be
employed for operating the pumps, &C.,
but with this exception the ordinance
is the same as originally submitted
and accepted by the Board, the essen
tial features of which have already
been published in these columns.
Mr.. Ludlow's associates in the enter
prise are The Southern Railway Con-
struction company, a corporation with
ample capital, and they are already
negotiating for another important plant
in our town, the purchase and operation
of which will mean the investment of
several thousand dollars more beside
what they will put into the waterworks.
Mr.. Rowland G. Cook, of Chattanooga.
Tenn, who is secretary and treasurer
of The company, was here with Mr..
Ludlow last week and expressed him
self as well pleased and favorably i'm
pressed with the present and future
| outlook Of Henderson. If he was not
such an intelligent business man he
would not be disposed to invest eighty
CT one hundred thousand dollars in a
couple of enterprises here.
