prior to the signing of said con-
tract the San Antonio Waterworks
company shall by resolution OF its
board of directors transfer any and
all rights in and to the con-
tracts and franchises they may
have heretofore granted it by the
City of San Antonio to the Water
works Company.
Alderman Daugherty was in
formed that the city was now deal
ing with the Waterworks COM
pany, not the San Antonio Water
works company.
After further discussion the
amendment was adopted.
Newton objected to the first sec.
ton and wanted the contract enter
ed into with the WaterwOrks Co.
for the remainder of the life of the
company, nearly 40 years. He
spoke to his subject in long and
earnest speech.
Alderman Daugherty, Elmen-
dorf, Mackey, A. +. Beckman and
Hoefling, also spoke to the ques-
ton and an amendment by
Hoefling to the amendment by
Newton was presented as follows:
Resolved, that during the con-
tinuance of this contract the city
shall not pay for any additional
hydrants; provided, that during
the continuation of this contract
the city shall not pay any addi-
tional hydrants used or erected as
provided for in section 6 of said
! contract.
This was lost and Newton's
amendment was also voted down.
The original question then came
up and the contract was adopted,
Alderman Elmendorf stating he
would vote for it, and,provided the
amendment of Alderman Hoefiing
would be agreed to by the Water
works company, he would at the
next meeting move recOnsidera-
ton.

City council meet as a committee
