WATERPLANT PURCHASE
MAYOR TAGGART HAS A SCHEME OF
A PRIVATE SYNDICATE.
But the Company Will Sell to the
City Direct or Not at All-COI-
lection of Garbage.

For year mysterious hints have been
made by the administration about plans for
purchasing the plant of the indianapolis
Water Company. Recently, since the
trouble and turmoil in which the mayor
and his advisors became involved on ac-
count of the park question, the talk has
about died out, but yesterday the mayor
outlined the plan for municipal ownership
of the water works, which is under consid-
Grafton. AS is well known, there is no
possible way by which the city could buy
the plant outright on account of the con-
stitutionaI provision prohibiting the city
from going into debt for more than 2 per
cent. of the taxable value of the property.
The mayors idea is to have a syndicate
formed to purchase the water works. The
syndicate would turn the plant over to the
city, providing the city would guarantee
the payment of per cent per annum on
the investment. The city would have con-
trol of the plant, receive all incomes and
pay operating expenses. 1t is believed by
the administration that there would be
enough surplus from the revenues over and
above the operating expenses to purchase
the plant outright in twenty years.
Mayor Taggart says that d New York
lawyer has been investigating the subject
but that he has not progressed far He
regards the plans as feasible and within
the law.
F. A. w. Davis, vice president of the
water company, said that he had not heard
of any such plan. He said that when the

bringing load of radishes to market from
the country As he drove around Monu-
ment place the horse broke loose from the
shafts and ran upon the sidewalk The
animal was staggering about blindly He
circled round a tree two or three times, and
then finally made dash into the iron fence
in front of the club building He rammed his
head against the iron pickets franticaIly
and also struck at them with his front feet.
His head and legs We're badly lacerated
The farmer finally managed to get him
away from the fence, and took him to a
veterinary surgeon. Afterwards he pro-
cured another horse and drove the wagon
away.
1t Is supposed the horse was suffering with
blind staggers, disease that corresponds
TO subsunstroke.
