LEWIS VETOES THE WATERWORKS DEAL Gives Reasons For Believing
 Purchase Unwise COUNCIL MAY STAND PAT Belief Is Generally Expressed That AL dernen Will Pass Measure Over Mayors Protest-PersonaI
 and General.

Bessemer. January 5.-(special.)-- Mayor Lewis has vetoed the water works proposition. He also states that he will veto the ordinance passed by the council last night calling for a bond issue of $200,000 to cover the ex- pense of the deal Mayor Lewis as signs numerous reasons for his ac- tion. His veto in full is as follows:
 Bessemer, Ala, Jan. 5. 1910. To the Honorable City Council
 Gentlemen-I return without my ap- proval the resolutions passed by your body to purchase the Bessemer water works, and I veto the resolutions for the following reasons:
 1. That there exists at this time 10 special reason that the city should become the owner of the present wa ter works system; that there are many reasons why the city at this time should not consent to negotiate for or attempt that purchase.
 2. The purchase of the plant at this time gives no relief to the consumers, nor will 1t give improved services.
 3. The majority of the people oppos 2 this purchase at the present time and at price figured upon.
 4. The matter is subject to arbitra- tfon in 1912. and see no special reason why the city sh ould purchase the plant before that tfme
 5. Because I do not think, if the plant is purchased at all, that either the council or MT. Adler sh ould name the water works commissioners; I think the commissioners should be elected by vote of the people.
 
 should serve as a commissioner at all; If he sells the plant to the city he should be willing to stay off the com mission and let the people say who the commissioners should be.
 I. can see no just reason why MT. Adler should be furnished water for his farm at three (3) cents per one Go00) thousand gallons, when every other consumer pays a much high CT price.
 8. There is no reason to fear that Bessemer in the future will be de- pendant for it's water supply upon the present plant. there are other sources of ample and convenient supply.
 g. That an indebtedness of one-half million dollars should never be im- posed upon such a municipality as Bessemer without submission to the vote of the people. The majority of the city council take a most serious responsibility in attempting to impose this enormous indebtedness, over dou- bie that of the present bonded indebt- edness of the city, without popular demand or with the assurance of popu- lar approval, and especially so when no probable pressing need exists for such a step. Yours truly,
 I. A. LEWIS, Mayor.
 It is stated, however, by members of the council that the measure will be passed over the veto of the mayor. There has been a great deal of discus- sion and the matter has not been finished as yet.
