WATER IS VERY POOR
Fort Scott in Legal Tussle With Its
Waterworks Plant

Fort Scott, July PA unique propo-
sitiOn of law has been raised here and
the Kansas supreme court will be call
ed upon to decide it, probably. The
Fort Scott Water company has a fran
chise to furnish the city water out of
the Marmaton river. Just above the
company's pumphouse farmers give
their stock access to the water and the
cattle and hogs stand in it and pollute
it. The company insists that if the
city wants pure water she must go up
and buy the privileges from the farm
ers, while the city insists that it is the
water company's obligation to do so.
Today the council in special session
appointed a committee to notify the
company that if it does not take imme-
date steps to purify its services the
city will refuse to pay hydrant rentals.
The company stands pat. There is said
to be no case similar to it in the books

operates through Caney over a Missouri
Pacific track and claims that under
the conditions of the contract no diff
ferent service can be had. The COM
mission has received a number of COM
plants because the Santa F'e has not
promptly furnished grain cars. The
road explains that there is such a rush
of grain business in Oklahoma and
Kansas it cannot get all the cars 1t

TO more important position by Mr..
Hartman, who holds the key to the

as probably true.
