As a result of The Journals re-
quest, made of the Bond Trustees on
Sept. 10, for information contained in
the report of T. Chalkley Hatton on
the properties of the Pensacola Water
Co, and for which that gentleman was
paid at the rate of S75 per day dur
ing the period he was obtaining this
information, the public may tomorrow
possibly have some information re-
garding what it purchased when the
city took over the system.
Yesterday at noon a meeting OF the
Board of Bond Trustees was held with
majority of the members, Messrs-
Bushnell and HyeT present, and this
request upon the part of The Journal
was considered This was learned
-om Chairman Bushnell. who stated
csterday afternoon that the trustees
had received and considered the re-
quest. and also that a report would
be made to the council tonight.
May Get Information.
It is probable that the trustees will
give ont the information, so long de-
sired by the public, in this report. The
citizens may know to q certainty how
many miles of mains are included in
the system, whether the city puT-
chased any meters when it took over
the plant. and if the two stand pipes
were included in the transfer. The
reports may also state the physical
value of the property and then again
II may not. If the former, then the
taxpayers will learn for the first time
how much they paid the Pensacola
Water Co for its franchise privileges.
At any event. the Board of Bond Trus-
tees. from all information Obtainable
e ~r-fc Iav~
intend at least divuiging a part of the
pubIic's business to the public at the
meeting of the council tonight IF SO
The Journal will endeavor to circulate
this information tomorrow morning.
A Long Wait.
For some time past The Journal has
been endeavOTing to obtain mis- infor-
nation. believing it to be legitimate
news matter. and TO which the public
Is entitled Chairman Bushnell took
the position. when first approached,
that the report of Mr. Hatton was not

furnish the desired information unless
so instructed by the council. Mayor
Goodman was then appealed to, but
Whatever he did was without any tan
gibIe result The council was request
