PURCHASE OF PLANT
PROPOSITION TO THE PENSACOLA
 WATER COMPANY.
Board of Bond Trustees Recommends That City Council Offer SYST 300 for Isroperty--Rep0rt of nm
 Engineer.

Pensacola. Jan. 5.--(special. )-- It is very probable that the city will make a proposition at an early date to the Pensacola Water Company for the purchase of the plant and proper ty of that company in this city. The Board of Bond Trustees has recom- mended to the City Council that proposition be submitted to. the com pany for the entire property, the city paying the sum of $1S7.500 for the same.
 This recommendation of the Board will not be acted upon until the meeting of the Council during the first portion of February, but 1t Is believ- ed that If the Water Company will accept such a sum for the property that the city will take it over. The Board in recommending the purchase of the plant stated that it had receiv- ed the complete report of the engin- ger who made an inspection of the plant. the mains and sewers, and that the report could be seen by the mefn- bers of the Council but advised that the contents not be made public
 In explaining this the chairman sta- tetd that the engineer had been given access to the books Of the company. and the information gained in this manner was made part Of the re- port, but 1t was with the understand ing that 1t was not to be given to the public. The chairman of the Board has also stated that the Bond Trustees believed the amount which was recommended Is in excess or the vatuA of the plant, but the fact that inc company holds a franchise. and has mains on the principal streets of tho city was taken into considera" tion
 It is known that the Mayor has op- nosed the purchase of the old water works plant with the money to be re- ceived from the sale of bonds, and Ia yors the erection of an entirely new plant, for which purpose bonds in the sun, of sa5oO0 have been issued and will be sold.

Ne More Bonds.

No more improvement bonds will be voted for at the June election, as was desired by some of the councilmen Recently the finance committee of the City Council instructed the finance committee to investigate the additional amount that could be raised according to the tax value of property and the committee has reported that in addi- tion to the amount already issued, that the city could vote for $200,000 for improvement purposes.
 It recommended. however. that it would be inadvisable to, vote for this issue at the June city election. owing to the fact that the bonds, which had been voted for two years ago. had not yet been offered for sale entirely, only portion having been sold This recommendations was adopted.
