The Des Moines iWaterworks company
has abandoned the attempt to get $4,000
| out Of, the special waterworks sinking
| fund, to aid It in laying its mains to the
army post.
! Several years ago, In the administration
! Of Mayor John MacVicar, there was &C
| cumulated about $4,000 in a special wat
| erworks fund In Des Moines, to be used
eventually to- erect a municipal water
works plant. The opponents Of municipal
! ownership made repeated efforts to get
this money diverted to some other use:
Finally, last winter. an enabling act was
| passed by the general assembly that al
lowed this fund, to, the, amount Of $4,000
| to be loaned to the water company. 1t
was the opinion of many Des Moines peo-
pie at the time the real object of the
movement was to head off municipal own
-ershlp. But the army post sentiment
was so strong, and the cry that If this
money was not loaned the company it
could not provide a water supply for the
post was SO loud. that the measure went
| through. :
Recently, the city council instructed the
city auditor, John Lucas, and the city
treasurer; Harry Gross. to turn over the
money to the water company. Both re-
fused, holding the measure Of the assem-
bly, was illegal and that acting on legal
advice, for the protection Of their bonds
men, they would not turn over the money

that it will not go to the courts. In the
| meantime, it has bought water pipes and
is laying them to the army post, and the
water will be furnished the military re-
servation, even If the city retains it's
| money. -
