Proposition Explained.

This proposition is explained in this
way. If the railroad company shall
expend $4,000 for the replacing of the
present main and the city shall expend
a like amount for the street ~laterals,
the 100000 shall be collected by taxa
ton. The property shall be assessed
equally against the people of the city
and the railroad company, according to
the value of each. The council will
agree with the railroad company to re-
NIT that portion of the taxes falling to
the railroad company each year until
the $4,000 has been RENTED, when
the company shall begin paying taxes
like other property owners. There is
no specified time for the city to begin
the rebuilding of the lateral system, the
only requirement being the agreement
as TO taxes.

New Main Water Pipe.

From the letter from Judge Lacey it
is learned that the company proposes
to lay a new water main from the city
springs to the railroad track at the
Grand venue crossing. This main will
be fourteen inches in diameter from the
springs to Ninth street and twelve
inches for the remainder of the way.
All the tees, elbows and other parts
necessary for the connection of the
street laterals will be put in at the time
the main is laid. SO that the laterals
car be connected at any time. Judge
Lacey gave the intimation that under
the contract no other connections with
the main pipe would be allowed.
, 1906-09-15

The laying of this main is contingent
upon but one thing. 1t will be made a
part of the contract that when the wa
ter system of the city is rebuilt and
the city bonded for the cost, the mu-
nicipality shall take over the system
and tax it the same as any other prop
erty. That portion of the taxes levied
against the railroad company shall be
RENTED year by year until the cost of
the main pipe has been returned to the
railroad
