City Ownership of Waterworks Plant.

The city of Beloit would like to own
it's waterworks plant that was installed
by a corporation several years ago but
the common council has concluded not
to purchase the plant of the Beloit
Waterworks company until it's value has
been fixed by arbitration. The company
has offered to sell for 1927, 800, which
figure the common council cannot con-
sistently accept in the face of the vote of
the people who two years ago rejected
the company's proposition of $4,000.
The company claims that the value of
the plant has been enhanced the past
two years. The statutory limitation of
a city's bonded indebtedness cuts quite
figure in the negotiations and the Wa
terpower company agrees, in order to
overcome that, in case the purchase
price is satisfactory to both parties, they
will sell the city the equity in the plant
and arrange for the disposition of the
bonds

GAINESVILLE.

Milo M Thayer has resigned his Office
as deputy grand master of the A 0 u w
which he has held for the last year and
a half and will associate himself with his
father in the tobacco business.
A travelling man who stopped at one
of the local hotels made the acquaint-
ance of young man who called himself
G. H. Delavan and said he was here on
a visit. The travelling man complained
in the evening of a cold and was about
to call doctor when Delavan said that
he could take care of his ailment. The
patient took a prescribed dose of medi-
cine and was soon in sound sleep, but
when he was aroused in the morning he
missed $12 in money his watch and
chain and an elk tooth charm, while his
doctor was missing. It is believed that
he was drugged, but fortunately he had
deposited $40 and diamond ring with
the clerk of the hotel.
County Clerk f P Starr is still waiting
for the defeated candidates at the recent
election to file their expense accounts.
The time for fling them under the law
has expired and so far but three of the
defeated candidates have filed their &C
counts. The law says, that every candi-
date before any convention shall Tile a
statement of his expenses with the Off
Ger who is authorized to issue the GER
tificates of election, within thirty days
after such election has been held, or be
subject to fine of one hundred dollars.
The custom of filling expense accounts
by defeated candidates has come to be
dead letter by the most of them, and
still under the law they are as much
liable to fine as successful candidate
who does not file his account.
The indications are that GAINESVILLE
does not intend to let the canning factory
get away from them The committee
composed of the leading business men
of the town, have made thorough can
vass Of the larger property owners and
have met with hattering success. They
have found the business men that usual
ly subscribe to get new enterprises to To-
cate in this city more liberal in their
subscriptions for the locating of this in
dustry in this city. They have figured
the matter out and can readily see that
an institution that spends practically all
of it's money in this city is good thing
to get here. Outside of what money the
factory pays out for cans and other
packages for their produce, they spend
every dollar in this city and with the
farmers within a short distant of it.
There is no question but that an institu-
ton of this kind does as much good for
the city as a much larger factory would,
in the city is for wages and repairs.

ture. supe rintendent Stephens has

necessary to eXcavate TO the depth oil
