DAYS RECORD OF COURTS

Bessemer October 14.-(Special.) "A con ference was held this afternoon in the office of Mayor Rush between the water works committee, Mayor Rush and Clty Attorney Perry representing the city of Bessemer, and Morris Adler, J. r. Gam mon and Thomas T. Huey representing the Bessemer water works. The meet ing was called for the purpose of sec ing whether or not there was any chance to get an adjustment of rates. The rates as now paid are claimed by a good many to be exhorbitant, and thls matter was discussed at some length. Nothing definite was determined on as the committee were not familer with the original contract existing between the city and the water works company.
 However. it is expected that some satisfactory agreement will be reached in the very near future, as MT. Adler, on behalf of the water works company, stated that his company was more than willing to do what was right and just in the matter, and the. sooner satisfac- tory agreement was reached the better 1t would be for all concerned.
 The water works problem has been very troublesome one to this city for some time past. There are those that claim that the city should purchase the works outright, while on the other hand a good many seem to think that the whole matter could be settled for once and for all if the water company would make reduction in their rates.
 As the matter now stands, judging from the rates that have been charged, the water works company are charging too much for the seriyc. Still they have q contract with the city and it seems to be the intention to live up to their plrt of it as far as the supply of water is concerned, and they certainly seem to be inclined to make the city live up to their part of it to a letter.
 If is understood that when the con tract was made. the city reserved the right to purchase the works after cer- tain length of time had elapsed. but that will be a couple of years.
 The present council seems to have walked up to the fact that some action was very necessary in this connection, and 1t is believed that an amicable agree ment will be arrived at within the very near future The meeting was a most pleasant one, and each crowd seemed ...ghly pleased with the prospects.
