THE PURE SPRING WATER
SUPPLY CO.
BY ii. N. FosDIcK.
President.
This contract was rc-rcad by the
clerk and then discussed clause by
clause. No serious exceptions were
taken to the proposition by anybody
prcscn, until the question Of the
hcigh; of the standpipc and supply
tank was reached. when il was lues-
toned IL the height nigh; not he in
sufficient TO convey water to some
high points in the town unless |; was
specifically stated.
Judge Fosdiek said this proposal
was in the main for tank wagon
service and no, pipe line supply and
should be construed on that basis. II
pope service warranted they would
provide for il.
Mr.. Sprinkler said il was popularity
understood tina, the Water Co. should
be prepared to lay pipe service a;
once on tho water reaching the city
and he thought this had much TO do
with its being looked upon with ia
vor.
Aid. Lawson said he didn', so TN
dcrstand il. The tank was the main
service wanted.
Mr.. Cast. representing the Co, un-
dcrstood that this matter OF pipe
laying was to be optional with tho
Co. and would depend on the demand
for the water. They could no, be cS-
pcctcd to enter into a contract to lay
pipes without any obligation on the
I II - ~.
| The clause stood as read.
The next clause debated was the
provision that the city abandon its
tank service to city consumers by
| Oct. rst, 1907.
This raised the question of when
the city would complete the piping of
the city streets, so as TO enable con-
Sumcrs to take city water IL wanted.
When the city would do this was an
open question, and this clause passed
as read.
Further discussion brought from
Mr.. Cast the statement that he did
no, see why there should be any
quibbling about details as the Co. was
simply seeking the privilege to sup-
ply water by the tank to such citi-
zcns as wanted spring water.
The mayor suggested that an in
formal ballo. be taken. both the old
council and the aldcrmcn-clcct to
vote.
Ald.-elcct Sprinkler asked to be cx-
cuscd from voting, as the vote of the
aldermcn-clcct was a matter Of nom
effect legally.
The informal vote proceeded with
anybody excused who wanted 10 be
voting simple Yes or mo" on
the proposition as read.
It resulted in a vote of for and 2
against the contract. But the vote
had no binding effect.
Mr.. CAST said il some sort Of con-
tract was not closed by Rocky Ford
