MANY FAVOR THE
HOLDING Of 4
PRIMARY
And Executive Committee
Will Call Meeting of
Candidates Soon.

From expressions heard upon the
streets yesterday many of the candi-
dates and great majority of the vot-
ers OF the city favor the holding of /
primary for the selection of nominees
of the Democratic party for those
offices which have recently been made
elective, and from the sentiment eX-
pressed in favor of this means of
choosing the officers there is hardly
any doubt but that the primary plan
will carry and those who aspire to
offices made elective by the amend
ment to the city charter will be voted
for on the same date as the second
primary, though upon a ticket separate
from the regular one.
number of the candidates for
prominent offices yesterday expressed
desire to have the matter settled on
May and thus select Il nominee for
each of the offices to be voted for in
the general election in June.
With the view of having the candi-
dates come to an agreement the City
Democratic Executive Committee has
decided to call a meeting within the
next few days when all candidates will
be invited to appear and discuss the
matter, and if they agree to enter into
a primary and support the nominees
then the primary election will be held
at the same time and place as the
second primary though, of course, the
committee will not place the names of
the new candidates on the regular
tickets and clerks and inspectors other
than the ones already named will prob
ably be selected.

The announcement in The Journal
yesterday morning that the city had
received a proposition from the Pen
sacOla Water Company Offering its
plant and holdings for the sum of
S1S7, 500, caused general satisfaction
among the citizens, who are pleased
that municipal wafer plant is soon
to be acquired. Water Company Of
ficials believe the deal practically
closed and are ready 10 turn over the
plant and business as soon as the
city is prepared TO place the neces-
sary amount in the 0ank to their
credit.
One of the officials talking of the
matter stated yesterday that his CONF
pany had accepted the offer of $751;
500 which the council had authorized
the Board of Bond Trustees to give
for the property. and that the city
could take possession at any time IL
might desire He also stated that
the life of the franchise of his com,
pany is something over twenty-eight
more years, but in this time th9
company would be compelled TO exc
pend large amounts to extend watet
mains and it would be a question fOF
the courts TO decide whether or not
the city would be compelled to pay
fire hydrant-rent TO the-DReSapt com,
pany should the city oNSa ifssspIaRt,
The company maintained that il
would have to pay according to the
franchise, but the city would probably
take the opposite view, which would
result in long and expensive litisa-
ton. and for these and other reasons
the company had decided TO dispose
of the plant for the amount named.
Bonds to be Sold.
Before the plant can be purchased,
however. the bonds which were voted
for the erection or purchase of
plant. will have to he advertised and
sold and the money so derived used
10 purchase the plant. This Will re-
quire time and it will possibly be
three or four months before the city
comes into possession of the prop
erty The city is now paying the
water company about $4,000 per year
for rental of 1876 fire hydrants, and it
is the desire to secure the plant at an
early date so as TO save as much or
this amount as possible. Some OF the
officials are even in -aVor OF making
some arrangements whereby the
plant could be secured at once and
paid for when the bonds are sold.
The matter of closing the deal for
the plant IS left entirely with the
Board OF Bond Trustees. That board
has been given power by the council
to purchase the plant st any sum is
might be obtained for not in excess
of SIS7. 500. and it is probable that
the matter will be taken up immedi-
ately after the settlement OF the
sewerage question, which is now de-
manding all the time and attention
Of the board. AS soon as this IS
finished the board will proceed
towards acquiring the plant and sale
of the S25U,OO0 i'll bonds.

 The encampment will be held for six days, commencing July 22 at 9:3O a. m, when all organizations must report on the field. In honor of the commander in-chief the camp is designated Camp Woodruff.

When the troops are not at drill commanding of flcers may order shelter tent pitching, instructions in the use of the rife in- struction In field intrenchments, schools in guard duty and minor tactics, or other work not conflicting with the regular routine.
