Nothing dlunted, however, the city pre-
pared and filed suit this morning IN the
name VI the state of Texas and by her
authority showing that the present
waterworks is existing without charter
The grounds for the action are alleged
to be that the City Water company,
which built the present water system,
had sold aud transferred la property
and abandoned its franchise and It's cor
pOrate rights aud privileges. The petit
ton alleges that the sale and transfer
were made 10 the Austin Water, Light

water plant, without authority to 10 50
hy It's charter aud contract The Austin
Water, Light and Power company was
chartered subsequently TO the City Water
company and came into possession Of
the old water cOmpany's plant, probably
the same parties were the owners Of
both corporations and the new charter
was taken out when the water company
concluded to 60 into electric lighting
rather than amend the old charter. The
petition assumes the sale to the new
company to bee invalid and the property
Is still that Of the old company.
Still another suit was filed this evening
against the Water and Light company
by the city Of Austin, which attempts
10 obtain Judgment for cancellation
of the alleged contract Of the water COIN
