What Are Our Water Privileges

MEssRs. EDIToRs BY the Act of Assem-
bly of 1882, Chapter 295, by which the Mayor
and Council of Westminster are authorized TO
contract with Water Company formed or TO
be hereafter formed, among other things the
law provides:
First-That the Mayor and Council in max
ing such contract shall bind such Water Com
nany to admit into the board of directors or
managers Of said company two directors, to
be appointed annually by the Mayor and
Council, who shall have the same powers and
duties as the directors chosen under the chAr,
ter or bylaws of such Water Company, and
that neither the Mayor nor any member of the
Council shall be eligible as directors on the
part of the city.
Second-That in making said contract they
shall bind said Water Company annually to
exhibit to said Mayor and Council an item
ized statement of the receipts, expenditures
and indebtedness of said company.
Third-That in said contract the Mayor and
Council shall approve the schedule OF all
water rates, water rents or water charges TO
be made by said company, approve all salaries,
if any, of all the officers of said company, and
when so approved shall not be changed with
out the consent and approval of the Mayor
and Common Council.
Can you state whether or not these proyis-
ions of the law have been embodied in the
contract entered into upon the part of our
city government with the Water Company
and who are the directors on the part Of the
city? 1t is highly important that the law in
this respect should be observed and it is
hoped that it has been.
The taxes now being paid for corporation
purposes suggest the propriety Of every cIti-
zen interested in the expenses and manage
ment of the affairs of our city to do what he
can to secure all the rights and protection to
which our people are under the law entitled
To. INQUIRER.

westminster city Election.

Westminsters corporation election last
Monday was without special interest. There
was but one ticket in the field, and those who
did not admire the present city government
either stayed away from the polls or amused
themselves by cutting tickets and voting for
persons who were not candidates. Two hun
dred and sixty-nine votes were cast, about
one half the full vote of The city. Of the
votes cast Mayor Brooks received $50, and
the candidates for ceuncilmen received about
the same vote. The only change in the city
government was the election of Jesse Shreeve
TO the council in place of John 7. Anders
and John H. Mitten in the place of j. ..
Stitely.
The newly elected officers will go into
Office on the 18th. Next year the office OF
Street Commissioner will be abolished. saving
$3.50 a year, and the mayor hopes to effect

place by three or four of the councilmen- elect
and by a large number of tax payers.
