are sure will be to the Interest of the
City Of Marietta and the general pub
lie.
1t is proper to call your attention
to the fact that if we acquire the wa
ter works property, we will at the
same time also acquire the paper mills
and the electric lighting plant; that it
is our intention if we do acquire
these properties to put them all upon
a good substantial working basis, and
to at once put them IN operation,
thereby furnishing employment to a
large number of citizens of Marietta
and distributing a large amount of
money I'M that community, and that If
the water works property now owned
by this Company is rendered entirely
unprotitable,to il, the operation of 9th
ser[properties-i in your city will be Sc
.rioasly injured and the general well
fare of Marietta affected.
UndsF Competition also it is highly
impp6bable that the City of Marietta
WHY be able to operate its own water
works plant except at constant and
continuous loss to the taxpayers of
your city among which taxpayers our
Company will probably represent the
largest single interest, and that the
inauguration ofSwater works by the
city in competition with ours will be
an increasing burden, which will far
more onset any special benefits, if
any there are, which might be derived
by the city in owning its own plant.
Under all circumstances, we do not
think 1t is dealing with our Company
In fair spirit to refuse to negotiate
with us upon lines which contemplate
the disposition of our property to the
city under terms that are fair and
equitable to both parties.
Very respectfully,

Mr.. Woodruff Ready to Make
Proposition ON Water Works.

Mr.. Ernest Woodruff, president of
the Trust Company of Georgia, has sent
to the Water Commissioners the follow
ing letter:
ATLANTA, GA, Oct 9Th, 1909.
To the Honorable Board of Water
Commissioners, City of Marietta,
Ga:
Gentlemen:- III
We note that you will receive bids
today for the installation of water
works system for the municipality of
Marietta, and beg to respectfully call
your attention to the fact that we will,
within the next week, probably ac-
quire the, present system, which was
installed about fifteen years ago by
private capital, andFat a time when
the municipality of Marietta was un-
able to make the Investment, and il
has furnished the city and private
consumers water at most reasonable
rates, and as far as the reeerdsAshow,
the property has never yet earned the
interest and depreciation on the. in.
Vestment, which we understand
amounts to more than $100,O0O.O0.
We know that there. has been >criti.
cism of the Company Aservice in the
past, and also OF the quality of water
supplied prior to about July LIST, 1908,
| at which time the. source of supply
was changed from the old reservoir
to the new reservoir, and the stand
| pipe extended sufficient to~insure am.
pie fire protection '-~=a'~.--s--
Since the changes above referred
to were made, we have not heard the
least criticism of either the quality OF
water or the service rendered.
We know that II would be most un
fortnpate and disastrous for both the
city ana, the owners of the present wa
ter works~if duplicate system were
installed andNuhdertaken to be oper
ated as competitors, and we are pre-
! pared, as soon hs we. acquire the prop

the city, under proper guarantees of {
supply of perfectly pure water stuff
cient for the needs of q city with ter
times the present population of Ma
rietta, including the amount of water
required for the operation of the pa
! per mill
Your attention is also called TO the
fact that there is no occasion for let
ting a contract for a new system al
this time, as the contract between the
City Of Marietta and the existing
I Company does not expire for nearly
TWO years. We therefore respectfully
urge that you at least delay the let

property and are In position TO ne

F|FAS BY THE COUNTY
AGAINST OLD OFFICERS,
Commissioners Have Begun
Proceeding Treasurer
Abbott Pays 500.

The County Commissioners, at the
meeting held Tuesday, passed a resolu-
tion directing Col. D. w. Blair, the
county attorney, to issue fifas against
three Of the former county officers
whose accounts were audited by Alonzo
Richardson Il Co.
Under the law, the Commissioners
have the right to proceed in that way
against county officers, and the officers
can make their fight against the legal
ity of the claims, in which case the
Judge of the Superior Court would
probably appoint an auditor to investi-
gate the facts.
Colonel Blair has prepared the fifas
for amounts as follows:
J. II. Murray, $2,316
II. B. Clay, $l,67l.32
j. Gid Morris, 1890 95.
No tifa has been issued against County
Treasurer Joe Abbott. His own auditor
has proved the correctness of Richard
sons audit to the extent of 81 500, and
Mr.. Abbott has given his check for that
amount His auditor has not completed
the work, but Mr.. Abbott says he will
pay every dollar which his auditor does
not disprove.
The other gentlemen will doubtless
contest the matter in the courts.
