Mr.. TOWNSEND
AND new FILTER
City Solicitor Submitted For
NAL Resolution Awarding
the Contract
Mr.. KNOX DID
NOT VOTE ON 1T

City Solicitor Townsend this morn-
ing submitted to the Water Commits
sioners. a formal resolution awarding
the contract for the final filter plant
to Coleman Brothers. Of Boston. for
1851 900. The resolution was adopted
and recorded. Mr.. Knox not voting, and
will be sent TO Mayor Wilson for his
signature. All that remains in the way
of the construction OF tho final filter
plant now is the doubt whether city
Council will issue the bonds needed for
the improvement without a contest. Mr.
Townsend will forward the form Of
contract which he has prepared 10 the
commissioners tomorrow.
The city solicitors letter printed on
Friday announced that he would ap-
prove the contract was also read and
filed In that letter Mr.. Townsend had
reminded the board that the chief
engineer and President Shaw and him
self had assured the joint Senate and
House committee OF the Legislature
that 100000 Of the 100000 Of bonds
authorized would positively be used for
the acquisition Of water rights. This
prompted not a little discussion this
morning. II was agreed that II had
been promised that 100000 Of the
bonds would be used for the acquisi-
tions OF the Lea water rights. but In
view OF the fact that the department
has only ss75.OOO for the final filter
plant, It was regarded as impossible 10
hold TO such promise now although
President Shaw thought that the board
was morally bound 10 purchase the
rights eventually Mr. Ford suggested
that after the bonds for the final filter
should have been obtained, a request
should be made to the Legislature for
money to acquire the Lea rights.
A mistake was noted In Mr.. Town
sends letter. This was his announce
ment that s445.OOO OF the 100000 OF
bonds authorized had been sold. The
amount should have been S455,OOo.

a race up the street. The colored mai.
Mahoney said caught up with him and
struck him behind the ear, Telling him
