Mr.. John G. Jordan. Chairman, City.
Your committee. appointed at a pub.
lie meeting recently held In the rooms
of the Commercial association to in.
vestigate the water works question,
which is to be submitted to the voters
of the city on November %, beg leave
to submit the following report:
The franchise OF the Public Water
company was granted In 1908 for
term Of twenty-five years, which fran
chise provided that certain extensions,
betterments and improvements should
be made within four years from the
date of said grant.
The Public Water comcany ex-
pended approximately, $206,000 toward
the making Of the improvements and
extensions as outlined and agreed to
in it's franchise, but failed to complete
the same, probably leaving an addi-
tional required expenditure Of approx
imately $125,00O, in order to carry out
the terms Of the agreement and fur
nish the necessary fire protection, and
wholesome, filtered water to the In
habitants Of the city. After the expira-
tion Of the time in which such work
was to be completed, and the ac-
knowledgement by the Public Water
company Of its financial inability to do
anything further, the city, under the
express terms Of section twenty Of the
franchise, retained all moneys due for
hydrant rentals, as liquidated damages
for such failure of performance on the
part Of the grantees.
After consulting competent legal
counsel, your committee is clearly OF
the opinion that on account Of such de-
fault on the part OF the Public Water
company, the city could, should 1t SO
elect, cease to retain hydrant rentals.
declare the franchise forfeited and
oust the company from the city. It II
equally clear to said committee that
said company cannot take advantage
OF its own defaults and itself declare
the franchise forfeited. Any court OF
equity would protect the city against
failure to operate the plant or any at
tempt to "scrap" 1t.
But can the city successfully ask for
a receiver and through him obtain any
of the much needed and promised re-
lief? Your committee Is OF the opinion
that this city is debarred from such =
proceeding from the fact that the re.
tention of the hydrant rentals as
liquidated damages is the compensa-
tion provided in the franchise for fail
ure Of the company to make the stipu-
lated extensions, betterments and i'm
provements. FORGETTING the charter
would bring no relief, as the company
then would be under no obligation to
furnish water. The retention of hy-
drant rentals does not in any manner
relieve the company from its obligation
to furnish water 1t stipulated to fur
nish and which can be furnished under
the present condition of the plant.
The Public Water company being un-
able to carry out the terms IT the fran
chise, by furnishing water in quantity
and quality as agreed, and as impera-
lively demanded by the needs Of our
city, has entered into contract to
sell it's entire. plant to the city for the

Washington, Nov. 11.--Word has
been received at the state depart
ment that an inquiry has been in
stituted by Gov. Campbell Of Texas
into the Iynching OF Antonio Rod
II riguez, at Rock Springs, Nov. 8,
which caused the antlAmerican
demonstrations in Mexico.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 11.-That
the United States will demand inn
mediate restitution from Mexico for
the damage done to American interests
and to American citizens, insist upon
the suppression of the Mexican news
papers advocating the boycotting of
American goods, and personal damages
paid the Americans injured during the
outbreaks Of medical students in
4dexico City is the general opinion
around the state department.
If the state department here finds
that Ambassador Wilson's reports are
justified a polite request will be made
upon Mexico for an expression of re-
gret for the demonstration, and also
for suitable reparation il any damage
has been suffered by Amerisans. On
the other hand, the Mexican govern
m ent must look to the state depart
m ent for q similar expression and rep
aration in the case OF Antonio
Rodriguez, the Mexican who is re-
ported as having been burned at the
stake by mob Of Texans at Rock

1T may be that the state department
will take the ground that the Mexican
governments attitude is satisfactory
and that 1t had meted out the neces-
sary punishment to the guilty parties
while SO far as known no American
has been punished for the burning OF
Rodriguez. ~

the mounted police, who kept the

The foreign Office has assured Am
bassador Wilson that there will be no

What the nature Of the reply was Mr..

Reed lssues Statement.

Chairman N. F. Reed of the demo-
cratic state central committee today is
sued the following statement:
I'VE have fought hard and lost. We
concede the reelection OF Governor
Carroll and congratulate him. We could
not. overcome his majority Of 10000 of
two years ago. This majority Is MOI e
than one-third the number of republi-
can votes cast this year and in order
to overcome it we had to hold all the
democratic votes of two years ago and
convert one in every three Of the re-
publicans. We tried to do this and fell
just little short. This is the whole
story.
1--WE have tried to conduct an ag-
gresive campaign, fairly, honestly and
with dignity. We have received uni
form courteous treatment from the
newspapers and newspapermen of the
city and state and we are very CRATE
full. Our relations with them have
been exceedingly pleasant.
We are deeply grateful for the
splendid support given to Mr.. Porter
by organized labor and other civic
organizations for the fidelity in the in
dividual members of the democratic
party. We have put forth our best eff
forts and lost. We congratulate the
winner
