It's FIGHT WITH THE CITY
MAY BE SUED FOR BREACH OF
CONTRACT.
NO AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED
The Water Company Show no Hurry for Their
Money, but the City Wants the Matter
Settled. Some Interesting
Information Coming.
Information Coming.

The fight between the city and the
water company seems no nearer a set
Element today than it did a week ago.
The city still declines to pay its water
rent from January to July and the wa
ter company still declines to allow the
use of automatic flush tanks for sew
ers.
Both sides declare the business of their
cause and announce their intention OF
staying in the game till the last bean
is up.
AS it's claim is losing nothing by the
citys delay in paying it. but is, on the
contrary. gathering moss in the way
of interest, the water company is not
saving much. 1t knows that sooner
or later the account will be squared up
in some way, and the prospects for its
full payment will grow no worse. Even
if they have to wait for a new admin
istration to come in they may get their
anoney without conditions, they say.
These things make the water company
easy in mind.
For exactly the same reasons the
city officials are restless and have about
decided to call the water company $
hand. And here is how it proposes TO do
it,
Put the water company's property on
the tax books, at a valuation OF SlUo,-
900. and still hold up the disputed watei
rent claim Of S2440.
Enter suit against the bond of the
water company for breach of contract
and forfeiture of franchise.
No matter how this fight turns out
in regard to the payment Of the clam
and the future use of automatic flush
tanks, it will have one result:
The property Of the company viii no
longer enjoy exemption from taxation.
The quarrel has brought to light the
fact. not heretofore known, that the wa
ter works property was not on the tax
books. This is without authority Of
law and will no longer be permitted.
The city has no power TO exempt any
person or corporation from taxation.
Some even insist that 100000 is far
below the valuation of the water com
panv's property Its bonded indebted
ness is s250,000. OF this amount,
bonds for S231, 600 have been hoated at
6 per cent.
The cost of operation is $4,000 an
nnally. On the bonded Indebtedness
there is paid annually $4,000 interest.
The cost of coal to the company IS So'OV1'
and the incidental expenses are So,OOo.
The fight is growing warm and BRING
ing to light some interesting informal
lion

THE WEST INDIAN HURRICANE
How the Weather Bureau was Able to
Predict is so Accurately.

In an address before the Associa-
ton of Agricultural Colleges and Ex-
pertinent Stations in November. 1893,
Hon. James Wilson, Secretary of Ag-
riculture. in noting the marked success
of the Weather Bureau in its practical
work, said:
THE operations of the Weather Blu
reau, described for the benefit of men
on sea and land, have been extended
to the caribbean Sea in order that we
may warn vessels Of our navy and
merchant marine of the approach of cy-
clones from the south. We had per-
fected our arrangements before any
hurricane came this summer, and we
were able to tell everybody interested
when the first one would come. SO per-
feet has the science of weather forecast
ing become that is now impossible for
any hurricane to reach the United
States from that direction without be-
ing heraldcd throughout its possible
course which is laid down with a great
deal of accuracy"
A most apropos illustration of the
truth and Importance of the Hon. Secre-
tarys words is furnished by the ability
shown by the Weather Bureau in keep
ing track of the hurricane at present
approaching the United States from til
West Indies, a time warning issue
well in advance the storm appeared
Saturday morning off the coast of Flor
ida in the vicinity of Jupiter, from
which point its further progress will be
most carefully observed. Hurricane
warnings were issued Friday TO all
South Atlantic and Florida coast cit
les.
Furthermore, through the energetic
work Of the Weather Bureau in Porto
Rico and Cuba, there have been organic
ed in those islands sections Of the eli
mate and crop sservice, and weekly cli-
mate and crop bulletins are now being
regularly issued from the central sta
tons at San Juan and Havana. A large
number of voluntary stations have been
established in both islands and the work
of locating additional stations is being
prosecuted. Arrangements have already
been COMPLETED by which monthly mete
geological reports, such as are now
issued by the various climate and crop
services in the United States, will short
ly appear. These reports are printed
in both English and Spanish.
A most important feature in the tele-
graphic summary appearing in the Ma
tional Climate and Crop Bulletin, issued
at Washington, giving the crop eondi-
tons prevailing in Cuba during the
week, thus placing the Cuba section on
the same footing With the various sec
tons in the States, as far as published
reports is concerned.
