OPPOSE PLAN TO SUBMIT
WATER BONDS TO A VOTE
Commissioners Say When Negotiations Have Reached
Proper Stage They Will Submit Question Without Aid
of City Democratic Executive Committee

In reference to the plan of the com
mittee, Judge Lane said:
1t would be a mere matter OF form
to submit such a question to the people.
Everybody favors the idea of muniei-
pal ownership of the waterworks plant.
Each member of the commission favors
the idea
When we are ready TO proceed the
people will be asked, in case a bond
issue is required, to authorize an issu-
ance of bonds
Commissioner Exum stood with his
associates.
< When all arrangements have been
completed, said he, land the company
has expressed Willingness to sell for
a certain figure, it might be well To
ask the people TO authorize bond
issue for the purpose of purchasing the
waterworks plant at sum not to eX-
ceed certain amount"
The committee which fathers the idea
of submitting the question of the bond
issue has taken the ground that its plan
is the nearest cut to municipal owner
ship, and that the commission, though
having declared repeatedly that 1t IA
vored municipal ownership, had done
nothing tangible or otherwise of a sub
stantial nature.
