Wall Street Furry Has Upset Eastern
Money Market and Ottumwa Suf-

Special to Times publican.
Ottumwa, July 24.-The recent furry
in the stock market in New York City
seems to have caused a serious hitch
in the proceedings with reference to
the disposal of bonds by the city of
Ottumwa in order to raise $2s0.OO0 in
cash, the purchase price fixed by the
City Water Supply Company for the
Ottumwa water works. 1t will be re-
membered the city council had pre-
pared and had twice read an ordinance
granting a twenty-five year franchise
ii, the present City Water Supply Com
pany, providing that the water COM
pany should make certain improve
ments Immediately and also providing
that the city could within ninety days
purchase the plant for s270,00O, or after
that time for s275,O0o. This ordinance
failed on its final passage because of
the statement made that the city could
at once issue bonds and thus bring
about municipal ownership immediate
ly. On the final vote on the ordinance
two republican aldermen voted with the
democratic aldermen to defeat the
franchise ordinance.
Proceedings had gone on swimming
ly until letter was received from the
bonding company, which read as fol-
lows:
LAS you may have noticed by the pa
pers, the security markets are getting
into a precarious condition, and until
things change we prefer not to be go
further with the water oond plan
I'VE regret this conG.tion of affairs
and trust in the near future that things
may change for the better. You may
rest assured that just as soon as the
Sc curity markets will allow we will take
the matter up again with renewed Wig

The important matter of the ma

platform in this state, to some ex-
tent a compromise. represents what
the republicans of this state are will

Iy to contend for is matter over
which there may be division of opin-

the republicans Of this state, with the
expression of last summer fresh in
mind, would encourage or justify a
contest over specific statements to
be incorporated in the national plat.

A great responsibility in connection
with the platform rests upon party
leaders. The republicans Of this
