Some OF the Water board mem
bers and John l.. Webster who
has been one Of its attorneys, refused to
make statements yesterday in the absence
OF more specific information than the sum
agreed upon by Appraisers Mead and Ben
zenberg. Mr.. Webster declined TO discuss
the question raised as to whether any other
than a unanimous report would be binding
upon the city for acceptance.
It is the general understanding that the
figure OF S5,263.OOO IL intended to cover the
whole system. The courts have ordered the
appraisers 10 segregate the parts of the
plant i'm Omaha, South Omaha and the sub
urbs. In other words. to make a report
so that the water works Of Omaha would
be shown at its estimated worth az op-
posed to the property outside OF the city
and the supply mains to Florence and the
pumping station and accessories there.
In the appraisement proceedings the
Omaha Water company contended the
whole plant was worth more than 1900 90
The city argued Il did not represent a
money value 10 exceed 100000. and that
vast sums spent I'm experiments and on
impractical ventures should not be included
in the amount 10 be paid by the city.
DR.. A. II. Nipple, who s a member OF the
