TEVIS UNABLE TO
MEET OFFICIALS
Mayor Noy Postpones Confer
ence and Gives Views on
Water Contract

ALAMEDA, June 27.-President Will
liam S. Tevis of the Bay Cities water
company was unable to be in this city
for the conference that Mayor w. III.
Noy had called for today and the con-
ference was postponed by the mayor
until Wednesday afternoon at o'clock.
Tevis is in Santa Barbara and sent
word that he could not arrive here in
time for a conference today, but that
he would be present Wednesday after
noon.
The conference was called by the
mayor for the purpose of taking up
proposed amendments to the contract
form now being circulated in this city
by solicitors of the Bay cities company
and also for asking Tevis If he would
not increase from two to 10 years an
offer of an option he Is ready to give
the city to purchase a local distribut-
ing water system. which Tevis says
his company intends to construct
Manager C. e. Gilman conferred with
Mayor Noy and City Attorney Simpson
this morning about changes in the con-
tract form and proposed amendments.
Pending the arrival of Tevfs no def
mite action was taken.
Mayor Noy today gave out the fol-
lowing statement relative to hts atti-
tude and the attitude of the public
utilities committee of the city council
on the form of contract now being cir
culated here by the solicitors for the
Bay Cities water company.
With reference to an impression
that has gone out to the effect that
the mayor and the public utilities
committee have disapproved of the
form OF contract being circulated
by the Bay Cities water company,
l would state that such is not the
case. The contract, as far as 1T
lieve on the whole that IT is ac
ceptab1e, but at the same time |,
believe that it could be improved
by the addition of. certain clauses
the company more clear and meet
some criticism that l have heard in
conversation.
These additional clauses are un
pany, and the only reason that
they have not been Immediately
accepted by the company is the
absence of Mr.. Teyis, who is in
Santa Barbara. but who will be
present at the next conference,
which is to be held Wednesday aft
ernoon at the mayors Office
AS to the criticism to the effect
that the initial price per 1000 gal
Ions mentioned in the contract is
32 cents, I am satisfied that the
consumers interests are fully pro-
tected by. the, additional clause
the action of the council. The
company has already agreed to
meet the. present rate, which in
Alameda is 30 cents, and all signers
of contracts in Alameda will be
entitled to a reduction in the price
as the sale of water increases, the
same as those who signed in Oak
land, Berkeley or elsewhere.

First Class Company and Fine
Repertoire Of Plays P1eases
The People.

The Bowdish Stock Company, tent
show troupe that is we'll and favorably
known In Reynoldsville, are In town
this week giving exhibitions on the lot
just above the Baptist church. Good
audiences have greeted them 80 far this
week and the company hasl won un-
stinted praise from the local people.
The acting Is fine and the management
excellent. The opening play was "The
Shadow Of Sin," followed by "The Tex
as Ranger" last night. The following
are the plays from which selections will
be made during the balance OF the week:
beyond the Rockies" Camille, I"
"St. Elmo" Montana" "Princess OF
Patches" "The Kentucky Night Rid
ers."
The following from the Kittanning
Daily Times shows the approval
gained by the company at Ford City:
"The Bowdish Stock Company, q
summer theatre, opened their weeks
stand here last evening under very
encouraging circumstances. 1t was an
ideal evening, a standing room only
audience, and last but not least, first
class company and good play. "The
Kentucky Night Riders" was the open
er, and the way the audience applauded
was evidence that those producing the
play were making good with them.
Every part of the large cast was ably
handled and especially those of Charles
Bowdish and Miss Dorothy Bowdish,
the Southern Rose, who all through
the play shows she has a mind of her
own and plenty of temper. Between
acts specialties we're introduced by Mrs.
Dodley, who sings and dances, and Miss
Dorothy Bowdish, who has several
clever songs, and Joe Angel. the mono
logue artist. 1t was a good show and
appreciated by ALL"

stimulus that will certainly come II
the under vein OF coal is opened up and
If the bed is as extensive as supposed
1t will be many years before the last Of
1t is gone. The coal is supposed to lie
in basin about seven miles wide and
sixty tiye miles long, from above Du-
Bois to Kittanning. The Panther Run
operations probably mark its north
western boundary and it would come to
the surface somewhere near Cramer's
station, near Big Run. The Sykesville
shaft taps the under vein at the bottom
Of the basin.
1This vein has been drilled through
repeatedly near Reynoldsville and
averages four to six feet In thickness.
