Altoona, Pa. July 2s-Altoona has just
made the acquaintance of the most interest
ing prisoner that Blair County has ever been
called upon to deal with.
Elsie Price is young and pretty-iust IS
years old. with black hair and flashing black
eyes She is accused of horse stealing. The
girl Is well educated and shows traces OF
refined home influences. But she is as proud
of her crimes and position in jail as the most
hardened thief She describes every incident
with evident gusto. and says that had il not
been for the weakening of her associate she
would never have been caught.
The accusation lodged against the girl is
that she hired two horses. saying she was
going to take drive with a companion, and
sold them. The fair thief refuses to say
where her home is.

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-02-28

Judge Watson granted it. The prin-
cipal points relied upon are that the
charter is unconstitutional because 1t
promises no appeal from the decision or
the City Council on the necessity or
taking the water: that the city does
not need this water; that there Is an
abundance of spring water available,
and that it is not proposed to take the
water for a public purpose. If the
first point is good the city could not
take the water from any source, and
about every railroad in the state has
been illegally laid out. So far as the
second and third points are concerned
it will depend upon whether the pctl-
TONERS can get people enough to swear
as some of our own citizens would APP
pear willing to do, that, in a time ike
the last summer. the failure of our
spring and other supplies was only M
aginary, not real. The last point in
wolves the question whether the pres
ent use of water in the stOne-shedS IS
a public one or not. Before a fair and
impartial tribunal, after all facts DIP
pear, it seems altogether improbable
that the city should be cast in this
suit. We believe that the city will
eventually be reimbursed for a large
share of the damages it has suffered
on account of these injunctions. The
injunction bonds amount to $780, 900.

THE MAYORS MESSAGE
Continued from first page.
WATER QUESTION.

For three years the water question
has been before the people, and has
constituted one of the most difficult
problems with which the city council
had to deal. 1T took a year before
the city finally voted to purchase the
plant of the Barre Water Co. Soon
after this vote the city council made
a contract of purchase, but since no
agreement as to price could then he
effected, the question of price was re-
ferred to the courts. But after a
thorough and exhaustive examination
of this question with the aid of five
experts, the council agreed with the
Barre Water Co., to give 1892, l33,
and assume certain cases in court, pro-
vided the voters accepted the agree
ment. The voters took the question
up through a committee appointed to
examine the reports of the experts, and
ACCESSIBILITY of paying the price stated.
The committee rendered a majority
and minority report, which recon-
mended the ratification of the propo-
sition submitted by the city council.
We have not the space in which to
r%ecapitulate the arguments for and
against the proposition. AS many of
our citizens will never take the occa-
sion to go over the reports of the ex-
perts, we will say that they all favor
ed the settlement made rather than to
submit the question of price to the
commission. There was quite a diff
ference of opinion among them as to
what the real value of the plant was
but there was no difference as to the
acceptance Of the proposition of set
Element as submitted by the City
Council rather than to take the chances
and bear the expense of a contest be-
fore the courts. The fact is that the
real value fixed by the experts was SO
near the price paid that there was an
insufficient margin left for a contest.
The results of contest that have come
to our knowledge vindicates the wis
dom of the course that has been taken.
We believe that the city is fortunate
in etlecting the settlement it did with.
out litigation, and that the action is
based upon a thorough and intelligent
understanding of IA complicated ques-
ton.

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-02-28

Once more the mayors message is
sent out to the people Of this hustling
city of Vermont. The message this
time as it has been for the three pre-
ceeding years is a rhetorical MASTER
piece. 1t is the farewell address of
one who has ruled long, and as the
author retires from the mayors chair,
he takes with him the strong admira-
ton of some and the Scorn of Others.
His passage through the four years of
existence in official life, has been a
stormy one. He was resolved to have
his way at any cost and no n can
say that before the end began, when
the supreme court barred his progress
that he did not have it. He may
have been sincere in his cndeavOr to
serve the city, but he certainly has
been sincere in his endeav0r to make
everything succumb to his way of
thinking.
Whether it will all result in the
building up of the city or in it's ruin
the future can tell perhaps but not
the present. Much depends upon the
administration of the city govern
ment that is about to be installed.
Whether it is Mr.. IIersey or Mr..
Thurston who shall be elected Mayor,
he will have a difficult task to per-
form if he clears the past administra-
ton before the eyes of those who have
made a study of the situation.

SPRING WATER COMPANIES

The cases pending against these COM
panies have not been heard upon their
merits. Only the question of a pre-
liminary injunction has been before
the court. For such a purpose, what
the spring companies swore to was
taken to be true, and the decision was
made accordingly. In the case of the
incorporated company the injunction
was dissolved, while in the case of the
partnership companies the injunctions
were simply modified to the extent of
allowing them to make connections
with existing mains.
These companies rely upon licenses
granted by the board of village bail
ifs and our first city council. If the
licenses should have the effect claim
ed for them, it would be a good Illus
tration of the necessity of vigilance in
public officials. 1t car hardly be con
ceived that the baililfs and first city
| council realized the effect of theiractS.
One does not like to think that these
officials purposely turned over a valu-
able franchise in our streets for all
time without recompense, 1t is GER
tainly more charitable to think that
they acted in ignorance rather than
in disregard of the consequences to the
city. Itiscertainly of great importance
tothe city to havet the effect of these IL
censesdetermined by the courts, sothat
the city may govern itself in the future

tion of the law,
