McMillen for the Water company sup.
ported the contention that the pro
ceeding for receiver was unusual and
extreme and that the proper proceed
ing would have been an action for Il
writ OF mandamus.
In presenting the case for the city
Attorney summers RurIthart first at
tackled the contention of counsel foi
the water company that the applica-
tlon FOR receiver was not the proper
action He held that under the NeS
Mexico law governing mandamus that
acton would have been wholly made
quate as a remedy. the court being
limited to the imposition of a fine in
carrying out the writ This fine he
held would have been limited to s95n
for each member of the Water com
pahN and therefore have brought no
result other than to tie the hands Of
the court. lie also contendcd that the
mandamus was subject to appeal and
superSedeas ana that the present ac-
ton allowed of no such DELAY
He then took up an extended argu-
ment in support of the complaint ana
presented a number Of affidavits sup
porting the allegations of neglect and
Wiltul negligence on the part Of the
company. Objection was made to the
admission of these affidavits on the
part of the Water company. but the
court just before adjournment for the
noon recess allowed them to be read.
At . O'Clock Mr.. Burkhart resumed
his argument occupying the tine un-
til four o'clock chiefly with defense
OF the complaint and a reply to the
answer of the water company sHis,
statement to the court just at the close
Of his argument that the city would
not insist upon its demand for theI
appointment of receiver came asI
of a surprise since the
whole course Of the argument had in
Heated an intention on the part of
he city to force the cause to deci-
sion.
The court granted leave to the Waterl
company to introduce ora testimony,
n reply to one affidavit which eoun-
sci for the company had not pro-
'iously examined and Mr. W. II. Gill |
cnWater of the company was on the |
tand for few minutes. He was eX-
mined chiefly as to technical matters |
n connection with the efforts to in
rease the supply by means Of com
,ressed air and other extraordinary |
measures
The courts review of the matter was
cry brief and was in substance as
utlined above with the concluaonI
hat the cause rests unless it should be
allied up again by the city under the
light allowed.

, that it is now doing everything in its
! power to increase the supply was the
| determining factor in the hearing
which brought out more eorciby than
ever before during the whole course
Of the shortage the single important
fact that what every one wants IS wa
ter. from the water company to the
smallest consumer and that the water
company is perhaps more anxious
than any one else to get an adequate
supply
Attorney +. w Dobson. for the Wa
ter company opened the hearing by
reading the company's answer to the
city's complaint. The answer took up
each Of the allegations of counsel for
the city in detail It was admitted with
out reservation that shortage has ex-
isted and does exist and that the com
pany has been unable TO furnish the ad-
equate supply for all purposes as called
for in its contract with the city The
contention was made, however, thatI
failure to furnish the supply was not
wilful violation oI contract as alleged
by the city, due to negligence on the
part of the company but was due tol
natural conditions of outh oVerl
which the company had no control |
The allegation that the company had
done nothing to increase the supply |
or to meet its contract was specifi- |
cally denied, with a showing of the
efforts which have been made ana are
now being made to increase the sup !
ply ana that the failure Of the supply
was not due to any inadcquacX of the
plant or any lack of care and caution
on the part of the company but to
lack of water in the ground at the lev
els from which the company has here
tofore drawn its supply
This latter contention was followed
out at length by Mr. Dobson in his
argument in which he dwelt specially
upon the charge by the city that the
company had deliberately neglected to
AXE precautions to keep up the sup
ply, He contended that the company
vas in the business of selling watcrl
md in effect, it was unreasonable toI
suppose that it would deliberately al
Ow itself to run out of the product
which it had for sale Mr.. Dobson also
vent at some length into an attack
lpon the nature Of the proceeding
'rought by the city holding that the
application for receiver was not only
unusual but that it could bring no
more Of effect and no better result
