ney 1t was an elaborate document
embracing details OF proceedings OF
the committee meetings; of corrcspon-
fun consideration given the subject.
MI Mckenney gave verbal explana-
ton OF all details The report gives
praise to the City Attorney, the city
Engineer and the Mayor for their val
liable aid The committee is the one
outlined by the Mayor, and in brict
covers the following points: That a
contract be made with tho Virginia
Railway and Power Company for a
supply OF water as needed for a period
of five years: the Railway Company
to make no charge for the water, but
to receive a price not exceeding and
is cents per killowatt for furnishing
power to pump the water into the
city's high service reservoir the city
TO be granted AT nominal cost rights
OF way over the properties controlled
by the railway company for laying
and maintaining its pipe lines.
The estima ted cost OF this plan to
the city for pumping the water would
be $3.50 per million gallons. The city
uses million and half gallons a
day. The effect or such agreement
would be that the city would he sure
OF an adequate water supply for five
years. which would give sufficient
time for the Council TO look into the
feasibility OF making more definite
and permanent contract, or to look
out for other sources OF supply
This Is the basis on which a con
tract is authorized to be made. and
it is believed the Railway and Power
Company will agree to Ii. The COM
mittec urges that whatever is done in
the way Of entering into contract
with tho Railway and Power Company,
should be done speedily.

london. March 15.--Lady Sackville,
the mother of the beautiful Lady Mary
Sackville is again to appear in the
law courts in a case which promises
to be sensational
She was Sackville- West herself and
a daughter of the late Lord Sackville.
She married her fathers nephew,
Lionel SackVille- West, now Lord Sack
vile. in 1880 They have had one
child-Lady Victoria Mary-who was
born in 1892. and it is for her sake
that Lady Sackville is determined
litigant
Her present legal fight is to protect
the fortune left her by the late Sir
John Murray Scott. one OF the trustees
Of the famous Wallace collection. Sir
John died suddenly in January of last
year, and draft Of codicil to his will
was found among his papers leaving
" NJ. s." generally assumed to be
Lady Sackville, a fortune Of about s75.-
ooo together with his collection of pic
lures and furniture, valued at $1,000
600. reward OF $4,000 was Of
fered for a duly executed codicil. and
this was presented TO Justice Bargrave
Deane by Lady Sackville.
1t is now alleged that there is an
other codicil in existence which re-
vokes all requests to Lady Sackviile.
The relatives of Sir Hogan Murray
Scott intend to fight the case to q fin
ish. They allege that certain facts
concerning Lady Sackville came to Sir
Johns knowledge, and that this caused
him TO revoke his bequest- and they
further declare that should these facts
come to light Lady Sackville will sure
ly lose the money.
