 In return he asked that the city cancel it's contract with W. R. Nichols and settle with him as best it could for work not yet done and that it take a certain amount of the money that would b9 due the city under the terms of it's offer, which would amount to about 5000, in money now due the water company from the city and to become cue in the future.
 This proposition was turned down by the council, each member of which said that the city would not consider any kind of proposition that did not contemplate the reductions in the rate as outlined by MT. Shepard, and which would not place the city, so far as the financial aspect of the case is concerned, exactly where it was before iU under took the construction of a municipal system. In other words it demanded as a condition precedent to the consid- eration of proposition at all that the company would have to offer to pay the city in cash for all the material pur- chased by it, for the surveys and oth- CT expenses incurred, and to present to the city a release from W. R. Nichols X Company for his contract and from the w. P. x Y R. for its contract.

The Northwest Light & Power Com pany has made its proposition to the city and the proposition has been re- iected. The proposition was made at a special meeting of the council last night by c. E. Shepard, and it was finally rejected at special meeting held at the office of Mayor Keller today.
 After notifying MT. Shepard last night that the city could consider no proposition except one that would make the city whole for all moneys that had been expended or that had been contract ed for, Mir Shepard requested that the council state whether or not such a proposition would be favorably consid- cred. The council asked for time to consider the matter more fully, and to- day it met at noon and decided in the negative. The decision was made to refuse to entertain any proposition from the Northwest Light x Power Company for the reason that it desired to make sure of a satisfactory system this year. The resolution as adopted reads:
 Resolved, That the proposition of the Northwest light & Power Com- pany cannot be entertained at the pres ent time.
 NIr. Shepard was notified that further propositions might be made at any time, and that the city would give them fair hearing
