Provisional Contract.

Wichita. Kan. Dec. 29.-The city
commissioners have instructed the city
attorney to proceed with the prepara-
ton of a contract providing for the
purchase of the city water works
plant. The contract price is $1,10O,-
600. The proposition to issue bonds
will be submitted to the voters of the
city.
The contract has two options. how
ever, and should the taxpayers re-
fuse TO vote the necessary bonds to
purchase the plant from the American
Water company of Pittsburg the COM
missioners can still take over the plant
and operate it, with the option of pur-
chase at any time during the next
twenty years.
They could also provide a tax levy
sufficient to provide money to pay one
twentieth of the purchase price per

water works at no distant date. It
may be necessary that the purchase
be delayed two years until the 1egis-
lation can be secured in the next state
legislature.
