 Finally it was decided to offer the water company $1,192, GOO for it's plant. As a matter of form this was done, and the result was that the offer was promptly refused.
 The next step under the contract was arbitration. But the water company declined to arbitrate, claiming that under their contract they were not compelled to arbitrate until after July 23. 1898. when their contract expired
 Then delays and delays and delays. The Council acted as though it was fearful lest it might do something that would clear up the matter and push it along closer to consummation. If sev- en members had any such fear or ap- prehension it was groundless.

 The newspapers all deny that they are controlled by the water company. either directly or indirectly, yet they furnish almost daily evidence of it by their editorial policy
