THE WATERwoRKs WAR.
Some of Fayetteville's People Arc in
Favor of Erecting New Plant.

Especial to News and Observer)
Fayetteville, n. c., Nov. 19.-The
people here are anxiously awaiting
the decision in the waterWorks case,
and there is some talk, in the event
that there is much further delay on
the part of the company in standing
to the award, of throwing aside the
whole matter and erecting an indepen
dent plant.
1t was a part of the contract in
volving the very existence of the COM
pany, and of which every officer had
notice, that the town, on request at
the end of ten years was to have the
right TO a disinterested appraisal ard
purchase. The company went into
the appraisal and fought out their side,
and then after the award set no the
plea that they were not bound be-
cause their appraiser was not Sc
lected by the proper authority. They
appointed as their "disinterested APP
praiser" the builder of the plant and
manager of the company. The city
objected and Mr. Walter l.. Holt was
substituted Now they try to avoid
the award by saying Mr.. Holt was not
properly selected. If the directors
have to meet every time and select
a "disinterested" appraiser there will
be no end to their protiting by their
own action as they can take UP in
turn and APPOINT (and adjourn) every
stakeholder and director and officer.
