At the regular second meeting for
the month, the city council occupied
most Of it's time last Wednesday
evening with the routine business.
W. J. Fitzgerald, who was present at
the meeting. made a talk to the coun-
Gil regarding the water works propo-
sition. Mr.. Fitzgerald was formerly
on the committee Of the council that
gave great deal Of time to the study
Of the matter. In view OF the recent
offer the council made to give the
company $4,000 for its mains, etc.,
together with contract for pumping,
and ten year franchise for lighting
the city at 10 cent rate, Mr.. Fitz-
gerald stated that while he was not in
favor Of municipal ownership here. be
thought there might be something
worse than that. The partnership
plan proposed, be thought would be
the worst thing that could be entered
into. A 10 cent rate in the business
part Of town for lights and power,
would be practically prohibitive, and
out Of the question. Such a
contract, under the present laws,
could be repudiated by the people.
A rate Of 5 or 6 cents for pumping,
would be bad thing. One trouble
now is that water is being wasted and
stolen. If large amounts are stolen
and wasted in future, under such a
contract, the city would have to pay
the company for pumping it just the
same, and the more waste the better
for the company. Mr.. Fitzgerald said
that If we had to come to city owner
ship, he favored a new plant through
ont, botn for water and light, includ-
ing the engines and building. Al
partnership affair he believes would
raise insurance rates, and would be
very expensive and unsatisfactory all
around.
