an otfer by the board Of public works 20
the water works company Of 100000 FOR
the plant now being operated by the lat
ter This same statement had been pub
iiThed IN several newspapers and there
was such a rumor on the street. Though

banker and supporter of Mcdonald, sprans

cusation at first created some excitement.
which was prudently allayed after a short
time and Major Burke continued his re-
marks. The contest Is waxing quite warm
