NEW WATER CONTRACT.
Council Committee Will Consider 1t
To-Night-Other Matters.

The first meeting of the councilmanic
committee en- contracts and franchises TO
consider the new water contract will be
held tonight in the city clerks office 1t is
more than probable that the meeting will
not be as harmonious as others have been.
as there is a great difference of opinion
among the members of this committee on
the subject of the water contract, and,
should each member succeed in having the
contract amended to meet his views and
the views of his constituents, it is hardly
likely that any person would recognize the
original contract.
There are members of the committee who
think that eight years is too long a term
for the contract as now arranged to run,
it is claimed the city is growing so
rapidly that conditions may arise before
the expiration Of the eight years which
would give The water company too great
revenue under the present contract.
There are many other sections which
Will be considered and recommendations
made for amendments. An amendment will,
probably be made TO meet the views of
Councilman Daller on the cost of fire lines
In business houses and factories and grant
ing such firms free use of water for auto
matte notwithstanding devices. The rates
for city use and for private consumers may
also be attacked by the committee.
The committee on contracts. and fran
chises Is also anxious TO get hold of the
interurban franchise, but the Board of
Works will not refer it back to the Coun-
ell until Mr.. Smith. member of the board.
Is able TO meet with the board and COM
plete the amendments TO be made to the
franchise.
The special Council committee will pre-
pare a. report on the investigation Of the
be reported 10 the Council next Monday
evening.

sip of Interest.

William Fortune, who had much to do
with the success of the county and town
ship reform bills in the Legislature two
years ago, does not believe the measure in
troduced by Representative Cotner last
week. TO repeal the county reform law, viii
be taken seriously. These bills were put
together two years ago by a commission
the makeup of which was much after the
style of the commission which had TO do
with the preparation of the primary cleo
ton bill now pending in the House.
Mr.. Fortune was chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the reform bill commits
sion and during the several weeks cam
paign" made in the interests of the bills
ascertained pretty thoroughly the temper
of the people on the question of county and
township reform. Mr.. Fortune said yester-
day that it was almost absurd to talk about
the Legislature repeating either Of these
bills. Statistics will show. he said, that
these reform bills have resulted in saving
of at. least s1,0O0.0OO TO the taxpayers of the
State in the last year. although the
township and county reform laws have
hardly had a fair test" declared Mr.. For
tune. 1.-THE people of the State do not want
Legislature doing anything OF this kind"
Mr.. Fortune said he and the men who were
interested with him two years ago in Sc
curing the passage of these bills had not
thought it worth while to take any steps
towards trying to defeat the bill, which
proposes to repeal the county reform law,
certain are they that the Legislature
will give its disapproval of the measure to
repeal when the time comes to take action.
Representative Bonham, of Hartford
City. said Saturday that he saw no reason
why the reform laws should be repealed
as his people seemed to be satisfied with
them. Speaker Artman, who was sitting
near, spoke in the same strain. remarking
that If Representative Airhart, of his
county (the county of Boone), should vote
to repeal these laws he would hardly dare
return home. so satisfied are the people of
Boone with the new measures. Representa-
tive Marshall, of Tippecanoe county. and
Mr.. Statesmen, who were not particularly
enthusiastic over the passage of these
bills two years ago, have both asserted that
they do not think they should be repealed
at tiIis time. Representative Reser. of
Tippecanoe county. was against the meas
ures two years ago and declares he stands
in the same attitude toward the law. 1t is
not believed that Mr.. Cotner will have the
general support OF the Democrats behind
his bill.
the same preliminary course as that taken
by the reform bills two years ago. The
House committee on elections has reported
favorably on the primary election bill and
the committees report will come up for
discussion tomorrow. 1t is known that
there is considerable opposition to this bill
and the strength of tnis opposition will
probably deyeIOp itself Tomorrow
