Hurd told me today that any one OF
the petitioners on that Commercial
club document would have the same
standing in court in this matter as
would the city. He said he thought it
would be suicidal for the city to jump
into this thing. If we should apply
for these improvements, and they are
made, Mr.. Hurd says we will have to
foot the bill. These improvements
might cost 100000, and then we
would have to spend $4,000 more to
extend the plant to cover the dry dis
tricts. That would make the plant
cost US over 100000, and would
bring up our bonded debt to y mil
lions. That is one-fourth of our as
sessed valuation, and it would simply
mean that we would have to repudiate
our debts

me trouble with our water service is

Under the present state of affairs, I
would think it was decidedly dangerous
for the city to intervene in this suit
whether the city intends to buy the
plant or not. Whatever improvements
the water company might be required
to make now would probably be of
very little value to the city when it

Mr.. Spencer Says City Must De-
eide About Purchase.

After the adjournment of the regu-
lar council meeting Monday night, a
secret session was held, at which J. B.
Larimer and T. F. Carver, representing
the Commercial club were present, for
the purpose of arranging details in
preparation for the visit of President
Chas. F. Street of the Topeka Water
company What was done at the spec
ial meeting is a matter which the
members of the council refuse to tell.
1t is known, however, that the propos-
ed application to- Judge Pollock for
better water service was one of the
matters under discussion
1t seems to be the general impress
sion that President Streets visit por-
tends something of great Importance.
That such an idea is current is shown
by the action of the council in open
session in deciding to do nothing what
ever about the proposed appeal to
Judge Hook.
Even Councilman ]. w. F. Hughes,
who said he was going to introduce a
resolution breaking off all negotia tions
for the purchase of the water plant
was subdued, and did nothing rash.
The committee on waterworks, which
had the Commercial club proposition
and petition under advisement, made
the following report:
The petition from 140 citizens pre-
scented by ]. B. Larimer asking for the
use OF the city's name to a petition to
asking that the waterworks plant be
put in good repair was referred to the
waterworks committee and a majority
of said committee beg leave to report
that they believe the prayer of the pc
titioners should be granted.

J. w F. Hughes, the other member
of the committee, submitted the fol-
lowing report:

works. 1 feel bound to bring in a mi
nority report as 1 firmly believe that
the use of the city'S name in the case
will jeopardize the city's interest and is

ton. 1 feel it will entail additional
expense to the city's offer of 100000
for the plant. w. F. Hughes
When under discussion, Councilman
Joseph Griley said in speaking of the
above reports:
