THE TRUE FACTS.
Explanation OF the Controversy Be,
Water Commission and Street
Car Company.

IS much has been said recently. pro
and con, regarding the late difficulty
between the water commission and the
street car company. because the latter
used water from the only pipe into It's
power house for other purposes than
drinking or washing. an Astorian rep
called yesterday upon Su-
perlntendent Newell. and asked that
gentleman for an exact statment Of the
case. In reply. he said:
There are two sides to every ques-
tion. and in the recent case against
us We did not have a fair show. Last
summer the water company tapped
their own mains and told our Mr..
WeloS to put in his pipes, which he
did The connection was made right
at the sink. without any secrecy what
ever. and hose was attached. which
was run to large tank. which We kept
filled with water for special purposes.
The whole operation was open TO the
examination Of the officers or the water
company, who have passes over the
car lihv and could have come to the
works at any time. The water which
we used from this pipe We frequently
put into an empty OF extra boiler,
which was only used occasionally. AS
a rule va used the ordinary river water
in our boilers. but IL it is allowed 10
stand in them for any length OF time
the salt soon rust them. So when
the unused boiler was filled with water
to stand. 1t had to be absolutely fresh
water. The water used every day in
the boilers is mixed with the water
which comes from the net-tanning watts
near by, as that helps to prevent rust.
The tanning process goes on every
month in the year except March, 1t
is preposterous to suppose that the lit
tie three-eighths inch pipe running
from the sink to the tank could carry
enough water for the daily use Of our
boilers.
All we want to see is justice. and so
far as this company is concerned will
say that we never made application
to the commission for water for any
specific purpose. We have only been
paying $3.50 per month did make
an ofTer Of $15 per month for water
for steam purposes, and thought that
was fair, in view Of the fact that they
let canneries use water for 500 a year
and any one Of the canneries in town
will use three times as much water
in C season as we do in a whole year.
At the trial Of the case against me
in the justice court, they could not
prove that any connection had been
made from their pipes with our boiler,
nor could they prove any verbal or
written agreement between the two
companies. These are the simple, un-
vanished facts"
