THEY GOT NOTICES.
Water Company Served With
Copies of City Petition.

The city on Tuesday served copies of
the waterworIs petition on Receiver
O'Neill of the Topeka Water company:
also on Jesse Shaw, as manager Of the
company. The petition viii be filed in
the district court on October 1.
Under the terms of the waterworks
ordinance. the petitions must be served
on the company at least Is days before
suit for requirement of the property is
commenced
It was decided by Mr.. Spencer and
Mr. MaeFarland that the proper time to
file the suit would be on September 10,
as on that date there could be no ques-
ton about the franchise of the water
company having expired. The franchise
was formally accepted by the company
on September 9, 1881. The ordinance
says that suit for requirement shall be
commenced after the franchise has ex-
pred.
The petition which has been served
on the water company viii not be made
public until it is filed in court. Both Mr..
Spencer and the water company refused
to give it out 1t is known, however, tha-
the petition contains nothing of an uneN-
pected nature.
1T is merely a complete rethrashing of
old straw, said City Attorney Spencer
today.
The petition itself is not long but
with it are a large number of exhibits
Cones of all ordinances and la VS. bear ing
the case are filed.
