FOWLER WATER WORKS
LEWIS c. WALKER, SPECIAL MAS
TER, MAKES HIS REPORT.
The Town of Fowler, the Report Says
Tried to Evade Indebtedness
An Illegal Sale.

Lewis G. Walker. special master in chan
Gerry of the United States Court, yester-
day filed his report in the suit of the Fidel-
ity Trust and Guaranty Company against
the Fowler Water Company and the town
of Fowler. In 1898 the taxpayers of
Fowler voted in favor OF putting
in a water plant. but the town
was unable to do 1T. The Fowler
Water Company was organized, received a
franchise and was authorized TO borrow
SO, OO0 The town reserved the right to
purchase the water plant and afterwards
made the purchase, the trust company
supplying the $4,000 with which 10 make
the purchase and taking a mortgage on
the plant. on Nov. 80, 1897, James NJ.
Richey brought suit against the town and
ola water company to prevent the enforce
ment of a tax with which TO pay off the
mortgage bonds, and receiver was ap-
pointed for the water plant.
The main contention in this case was as
to whether the sale of the water works
plant 10 the town of Fowler in 1895 was
a valid sale, or whether or not the whole
scheme was a device employed by the town
for the purpose OF eVadlng Article IL of
the Constitution, which prohibits the in
curing of an Indebtedness by ordinance
of more than per cent OF the taxable
property within the corporate limits of
the town.
The master held that the letting of the
contract In the first instance for the con-
struction OF the water plant. the placing of
a mortgage thereon so near the cost of it's
construction and the increased price of
hydrant rentals, together with an Increased
number thereof, was a mere device en-
ployed for the purpose of effecting an in
direct purchase, and that the sale made by
the water company to the town in 1898 was
invalid Though IL was expressly provided
In the ordinance that the town was not to
be liable for the mortgage. yet in fact 1t
was expected and contemplated by all the
parties TO the contract that the town would
pay such mortgage indebtedness through
means obtained by increased hydrant
rentals.
1T is not reasonable to conclude" the
master says, that the town would pur-
chase a mere equity OF redemption without
any expectation of removing the indebted
ness and continuing to hold the plant A
court looking at the substance OF things
would hold that IL was simply a scheme
employed by the town of Fowler for the
purpose OF accomplishing Indirectly what
Is expressly forbidden I'm the Constitution
and this court will uphold no such scheme"
The master finds that the trust company
Is entitled TO a decree against the Fowler
Water Company for $4,000. with interest
on coupons, and that the mortgage is a first
lien on the water plant. TIE plant should
be sold, he says. and the money applied on
the mortgage.
