OUR WATER CONTRACT.
! The Water Company has never fulfilled

city, and has willfully and persistently con-
tinued to disregard the city's rights.
The contract provides that at the expir-
hydrant service on the original hydrants,
| and November 80, 1907, rental on hfty hy-
drants amounting to 81 800 per year, ceased.
| Other hydrants have been Installed from
time to time and the rental Oh these n.y.
| drants will continue for several years. We
therefore continue paying rental on ten
| hydrants at $40 each per year, and on
three hydrants at $35, each per year, max
ing our annual rental now $505 90.
| The Water Company demanded that we
continue to pay hydrant rental without re-
gard to terms OF contract, or stand an in
crease of rate on domestic service:
AS it would be manifestly unfair to re-
Quire the tax payers in suburban districts
to continue carrying this bur den, refused
to comply with the request. Inc water
Company promptly raised rates ON domestic
| service, aud at my request the city govern
ment passed an order Instructng the Mayor
to withhold payment on hydrant rental until
the Water Company fulfilled its contract to
the letter.
| Acting according to this order, withheld
payment amounting to $552. 90, and unless
| the Water Company will meet us on eqult-
able terms, without necessary delay-actiDg

section of the atty, where, when the work is
started, an extensive extension of the system

DEFENDS HIMSELF
General Director of Canal Testihes in
Hearing in New York.
CONTRACTORS MAKE CHARGES
Army Omcer Uses Vigorous Language
in Answer to Allegations of
FavOritIsm in Galloway
Awards.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Colonel George w.
Cocktails, general directors of the Panama
canal was placed on the witness stand yes
terday in the inquiry that is being conducted
before Inspector General Darlington as the
result of charges OF discrimination and
favoritism in awarding galloway contracts
for the canal by the government officials,
Colonel Cocktails took the stand toward
the end of the session replete with sensa-
tional Incidents. A. T. Brothers, who
brought the charge, had accused Spencer
Miller, a representative of the Lidgerwood
Manufacturing company, of perjury and
had followed this accusation by the charge
that the inquiry was not being conducted
on fair lines, saying the witnesses for the
defense were the only ones given a hearing.
Mr.. Brothers became highly excited and
announced tina he would withdraw from
the hearing. He went so far as to leave
the room, but returned a few minutes later.
It was shortly after this that Colonel
Goethals was called on to testify. In a
voice that betrayed his deep feeling over
the charges made by Mr.. Brothers Colonel
Cocktails entered into a defense Of the
manner in which the galloway contract
had been awarded.
II have been charged with false state
ments by Mr., Brothers.
II am also practically charged with cor
