President to Be Asked to
Amend Contracts

ALAMEDA, June 2S-The public
utilities committee of the city council
met today with Mayor w. III. Noy and

give the municipality to purchase a
water distributing plant which he as
serts his company means to put in
here.

be considered at the conference tomor-
row Will be a proposition to have the
city lease the distributing system which
the Bay Cities company may install in
this city. Mayor Noy and the members
OF the public utilities committee have
reported TO the city council that they
do not think that a movement to bond
the city to buy the distributing plant
would meet with favor at this time or
in the near future.

to build and operate its own local
water system has been approved by the
mayor and the city council. This ap-
proval was recorded after engineers in
the employ of the municipality had ex-
