Council Committee Against the Warren
Deal.-The committee of the City Council OF
Baltimore, appointed to investigate the Water
Boards agreement to pay $725, 600 for the War
rem Mill property, did not sustain the agree
ment. The sum of $3.50, 600 was named as the
maximum value of the property.
The committee believes and recommends
that the city should not abide by the alleged
contract with the Warren Manufacturing Com.
pany, unless compelled to do so by judicial
decision.
The committee SAYS that ifthe courts uphold
the agreement between the Water Board and
the Warren Company the responsibility must
rest upon the Water Board, influenced in
their action by the fears and apprehensions
aroused in them by the letter of Mr. Bruce"
Regret is expressed that publicity was not
given to the price during the campaign for the
S.. 000, 600 water loan.
Both branches of the Council adopted reso
luton sending the report to Mayor Mahool,
together with stenographic copy of the evi'
dence in the case.
1t is understood that the Warren Manufac-
turing Company is not willing to accept $780,,
GOO for the property.
