 Hitch In Proceedings.
 A conference was held yesterday after noon between Mayor Huey the city water committee and Maurice Adler, president of the Bessemer Water company but no satisfactory agreement was reached. The parties interested could not come to terms regarding the size of the pipes to be laid, the length of the new contract and some minor details.
