Corps of Contractor SOIiCi-
tors in the Field

ALAMEDA. June 23.-The Bay Cities
Water Company has placed corps of
contract solicitors at work here. The
form of contract binds the signer to

years if the company carries out its
plan of installing a distributing system

The rate in the contracts that are
being signed is so cents per 1000 gall
Ions, the same as that now in force.
According 10 statements made by rep
resentatives of the Bay Cities company,
this rate will not be increased, but, on
the contrary. will be reduced gradually
as the volume of water to be supplied
by the company is increased.
The city council has gone on record
as indOrsing the project of the Bay
Cities company to enter the local field.
The watersheds on Mount Hamilton
from which the company managers say
they mean to supply this city, were
inspected by City Engineer I. N. Chap
man and Alfred -Bannister, another en-
gtneer retained for that purpose. The
engineers reported favorably.
Should the solicitors now at work
here secure within a week contracts
aggregating a daily supply of 5000
gallons. the Bay Cities company prom
ises to begin the construction of a local
distributing plant Immediately and TO
have water in Alameda in twelve
months
