SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT IS FILED ON
THECITYAUDIT, COVERING WAT ERWORKs

Relative to the matter Of liability
on water deposits, We may mention that
the city Of FL Paso $41S3.5O whereWith
to meet depositOrs demands While
the records show that the liability to
the depositors on October l. 1919.
amounted to S520O-40, it is proper to
state that the city has, as yet, not ex-
pended all Of the amount paid over to
it by the International Water company,
the books showing that from October /,
1 bsln to March 81 1872 s5aoI95 has
record on October 1 1910, This. how
ever, does not alter the fact that on
this latter date the liability on account
and individuals was S52O0.40 and not
S4183.50, this latter amount being the
sum paid by the International Water
company to the city Of FL Paso to cover
was handled by verbal agreement, and
does not form part of the written
records of the city clerk We may
moreover mention that under the terms
perfectly proper for the International
Water company to have retained all
monies due to depOSitOrS- We under
stand, however, that the sum above
over to the city for the convenience
Of consumers and for the purpose OF
facilitating payments to water de-
pOSitors-
It has been brought to our attention
that certain properties, not owned by
the international Water company at the
time of transfer, were conveyed by
". H. Burgess to the city Of FL PasO.
This property consisted of certain
real estate, reservoir, machinery, pipes,
connections. etc, at one time the prop
erJy and plant of the Highland Water
company. which had been acquired By
certain individual stockholders Of the
international Water Co. It is claimed
that this property had a value Of
$4,000 These assets are included in
the inventory of the waterworks plant
taken on March 81. 1912.

able to find anything bearing on the
matter, or any written evidence that
ton OF the contract, or explain why all
assets were not transferred to the city
of FL PasO. We did not care to accept
verbal statements from anybody as to
what assets should have been. trans
ferred, or what liabilities should have
been assumed by the city. We there
fore inserted in our report the clause
relative to the transfer. We had no
doubt then, and do not have any doubt
now, but that all matters pertaining to
the transfer were properly carried out,
but we preferred to see written evil
dence to cover same.
We now present SsIch written evil
dence, designated as exhibit &C." being
memorandum of agreement made and
executed on September II, 1910 properly
signed by those present at the confer
ence, this instrument having been fur
nished to US by ". H. Burgess. This
memorandum of agreement is not Off
cially filed with the city clerk, though,
in our opinion, it necessarily must form
part Of his records and should be part
of the records of the waterworks de-
partment as being vital in explaining
why all assets OF the international
Water company were not transferred
to the city Of Fl PasO and why the city
Of FL PaSo assumed certain liabilities
other than the first mortgage bonds
and the vendors lien notes above men
toned This document plainly states
that the city Of FL PasO was not to
acquire accounts receivable, and it also
states why the city Of Ell Paso assumed
the payment of certain taxes. Its in
cluSiOn in the records of the city
effeCtually clears up any misunder-
standings that may have existed in the
public mind relative to the transfer of
the waterworks property, and cOnclu-
sively shows that all of the assets Of
the international Water company to
which the city Of FL Paso was entitled
to under the contract were in fact re-
ceived by the city We may state that
the records of the city now show that
it received all monies due it from the
International Water company, and that
the city of III Paso paid nothing to the
international Water company except
ing such monies as were due them IN
der the terms OF the contract.

Duke of Argyll in Youths Companion.
For centuries the search for ancient
treasure has been pursued in the glens
and wild places OF the Highlands of
Scotland. and sometimes unexp ected
finds have been made. For instance,
a tradition that treasure was hidden at
Inverary had long been handed down. Ac-
cording to the legend. 1t would never be
found except by a stranger. Generation
after generation Of children searched
for It, II badger made a hole in the
hillside the children believed that the
badger had the scent, and dug up his
burrow, but no young or old badger
ever came forth with bangles on it's
neck or its nose. The children watched
every rabbit scrape or hen scrape to see

Then drainage was introduced. Formerly
the glen was too wet to be cultivated,
except on dry slopes where water coulo
not gather, and a band pillow did all the
necessary furrowing. But now red tileo
pipes were put down to drain on water
from hatter ground, and II was possible
TO SOW in comparatively level places.
One pretty piece of grass land under
cliff was pointed out as a good bit Tor

This had to be removed. The man at

fell on its side. Underneath where II

Those bracelets were beauttfuly
wrought: one of them had plain ends
where the wrist was slipped through.
As for the pair with the hollow cups an
old tradition was recalled which declared
that no person who had committed a
