WINFIELD LOSES SUIT.
Must Pay Water Company for Two
and a Half Years.

and a Half Years.
Wichita, Kan, March 15.-Winfield
lost its suit in the federal court here
and must pay the Winfield Water
company $4,250 annual hydrant rent
for two years and six months. 1t also
must pay a small amount for hydrant
rental for the past few months.
Several years ago Winfield decided
to build a municipal water plant, and
at that time the contract with the
water company for hydrant rental ex-
pired. The company wanted to renew
it at $3.50 annually. The city would
not pay more than $4,250. and so re-
fused to use the company water. The
company held that the city had not
notified it that the hydrant rental con-
tract had ceased.
The court held that the city should
pay rental at the old rate.
