SAY FOUNTA
HAVE SOLD LAND
Statement of Water Com
.missioners That Famous
Tract Changed Hands.
MAY CONDEMN 1T YET
But Proceedings Would Have
to Be Started Against the
New Owner.
MAY CONDEMN 1T YET

The tract of land at Runyon, which
Asbury and James Fountain were
going to sell to the Board of Water
Commissioners of this city for $15,-
500, has changed owners, according
10 one of the board.
Who the new owner of the land is
and what the purchase price was,
could not be learned thsi morning.
Thomas ]. Clark, president of the
board. said that, while he had been
told that the land was sold, he did
not know who purchased 1t.
Another member of the board says
that Asbury Fountain, while In this
city during the early part of the
week, told him that he and his BROTH
er, James, had disposed of the prop
erty and, If the city started condem-
nation proceedings, they would have
to deal with the new owner.
As yet no condemnation proceed
ings have been started and President
Clark stated this morning that he did
not think that the present i board
would do so. Mr. Clark says that the
supply at Runyon is adequate for the
present.
Board Goes to Runyon.
President Clark Commissioner
Conyery and probably the other men,
bers of the water board will go to
Runyon this afternoon to investigate
the matter. II 1t is true that the land
has really changed owners, he board,
X 1t ever starts condemnation pro-
ceedings, would have to institute
them against the new owner.
1t is reported that Judge Brown,
Asbury Fountains father-in-law, is
the new owner, while another rumor
Is that South River party has the
title.
When the water board over year
ago negotiated with the Fountains for
the tract they paid 1000 to bind the
bargain. Legal proceedings stopped
The sale and, after the courts decided
that the board could not buy the
land, the price being excessive, an
Effort was made to secure the $1,000
back.
AS yet 1t has not been received and
ut the meeting of the board, Wednes-
day night on motion of Commissioner
Conyery. 1t was decided to make a
iormal demand on Mr.. Fountain for
The money.
Some of the members of the board,
It is understood, are still anxious to
get the land, as they believe that II
Is necessary to increase the water
Dupply of the city. The board owns
land on the other side of the Foun-
hahn tract, but, in order to drive wells
bn 1t and connect them with the
pumping station, 1t is necessary tC
cross the Fountain land. This is one
Of the reasons, they claim, why the
property is needed, as it will be but q
Ihort time when the present supply
ut Runyon will not be sufficient to
meet the needs of this city.
