The Suit Solely Against the Water Works
Company.

N1W ORLEANS. IA, Jan. 3l.-The dis
patches from New York announcing the
appointment of u receiver for the New
York Filter Company have tendency TO
reflect unjustly on the credit of TINS city.
Some years ago the New Orleans Water
Works Company, a private corporation,
undertook to make arrangements for the
dltering of water in it's mains to be
furnished to offices and homes through
out the city. There was general public
interest in the project. Nearly year
ago the public were very much disap-
pointed to learn from published announce
ments that the experiments had been a
failure. When the experiments proved
unsatisfactory the water-works company
declined 10 accept the apparatus or carry
ont the contract. Last December SUIT
,yas brought against the water-works
csmpany for $lS4500. and the suit Is sun
pending IN the civil court.
The New York concern when mas JuSt
failed has no clalm AGAINST the city anu
lis suit is solely against the waterWorhs,s
companv. in which the city mas no III
rect interest. No supply OF water mas
been furnished the city, ana the CITY
