ANOTHER CONTEST
On Hand for the Good People
of WaterviIIe.
Legal Steps to AnnuI City's Contract
With Maine Water Co.
Charge Made that City Is Paying Too Much
and Contract Is Illegal.

WatervilIe, May 5.-(SpeciaI. Wa
terville no soonerdisposes of one contest
than she takes up another question at
issue At Monday evenings meeting
of the municipal officers, it was deter
mined to take the initiatory step in a
matter over which the city has been
bordering for a long time, namely the
annulment of the contract now exist
ing between the Maine Water Com
City of Waterville, party of the second
part.
City Solicitor Eaton received instruc :
tons to proceed at law in the matter
and Monday night, he worked hard
and into the small hours of the morn
ing getting his papers into shape to file
with the clerk of courts. The city
solicitor claims that the contract now
existing is Illegal. The Water Com
pany has a plant that is said to be GER
tainly worth Il quarter million of dol
lars, but they have been assessed only
on a valuation of s61 900. The company
pays it back excepting $4,000. The
State assesses a good round sum and
the result is the city, it is contend
ed, is now practically paying the com
pany's State and county tax for them.
In the original contract which is now
in force it will be seen that the COM
pany agreed to furnish water for all
schoolhouses and public buildings, but
the company has not done so. on the
contrary the city has been paying for
the water used in the schoolhouses the
sum of 5000 a year for the same
Within a short time after the making
of the contract the city almshouse
was built and city water put in. The
Water Company at once charged the
city with $40 per year for that institu-
ton. The contract is here given that
the people may know its exact terms.
